China is manufacturing and supplying russia with weapons!
Good old Mali.
That fight would last as long as the NKs have food, so maybe 3 weeks. Nukes notwithstanding, they'd get flattened on shirt order, although Seoul would too more than likely
Congrats on the new role
What's the deal with the zodiacs ? For cavalry ?
The horses are so overloaded these days that they can't swim. So you need the boats to carry the kit.
Has anyone read this book? This book was published in 1997 and is taught as part of the Russian educational curriculum.
It is basically a blueprint on how Russia would manoeuvre back into a USSR setup and take over global influence.
It's scary how much of this has actually played out and is currently ongoing.
People go on about the book 1984 coming true…. give this a read, it's ridiculous how much has already been achieved by Russia.
edit: Wiki page has a good overview of content and what has actually happened from it
Foundations of Geopolitics - Wikipedia
Yep. A lunatic's wishlist.
I'm be interested to hear what weapons exactly China is reported supplying?
It just seems they're dumping motocross and dirt bikes from the footage coming out, and that's probably just excess stock that's cheaper to donate than recycle.
The most interesting thing about all the public communiques China has with Russia is that they never mention Putin, always just Russia. Anyone Russians thinking of regime change would recognise that China would be a safety net for a smooth transition in the event of a war exhaustion collapse.
North Korea sending 12,000 troops
China making drones
Fighting the whole of russia.
Ukraine is really up against…. I hope the US election goes for Harris and she steps up for Ukraine.

12,000 troops.
Depends on whether they are in a support role or combat role. If they're in a combat role then NATO has to do something. There's nothing they can do against North Korea as the South's capital is in range of a large amount of Artillery. That means going after the troops themselves I'd guess.
Messy.
According to Forbes China is actually the US's most critical supplier.

Without China the US would not be able to equip Ukraine and Israel.
Edit to add, even the US is dependent on Chinese drones.
U.S. security officials have increasingly become concerned about the use of Chinese drones by U.S. government departments.

NATO won't intervene at all. What makes you think that? We have Russian soldiers in Ukraine and NATO have done **** all, NK or even Chinese soldiers for that matter won't change that fact. Sanctions is all NATO or the west would consider.
They will be eating cats and dogs.
That isn't a slur, they are half starved and have long done so in their own country, same as Haiti....
Nevermind, same as french people eat horse.
Every blow against Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran is a blow for Ukraine.
It is one war. With many fronts
Have young Moscovites been mobilised for the meat grinder yet?
Sorry let me rephrase that, Europe will need to act.
Like if NK had troops in Central or South America, you can bet your bottom dollar the US would act on that.
France has hinted in the past about sending troops to Ukraine.
Global economy, we all supply each other, some countries are more susceptible to sanctions and economic wars than others. China for example is unable to feed itself, they also have major fresh water issues give the size of their population.
The Zionists and Putin are fellow travelers in justifying their bloody invasions in myth.

Nearly all the wheat and grain reserves in the world are now in China.
Off the top of my head that gave several years of wheat demand alone
They take an interest in food security, Europe doesn't really care anymore about such things, it's even lower a concern than security.
Sure thing, Iranian drone factories are going to be disappearing shortly and it will be the IAF delivering
The Russian forces fought side by side with Hezbollah in Syria, Hezbollah are nearly gone, Hamas honoured Putin by delivering a shift in global focus on his birthday, they are nearly gone.
Iran is next.
China can't feed itself?
Did you write that on a device that would not exist without Chinese supply chains?
Do you think they all still ride bicycles?
6,000 8,000 10,000 Korean Northies have been sent to Ukraine… whats that like 10 days of cannon fodder. I would say all this is largely PR from Moscow who want to give the hard right in Europe plenty to shout about, IE: we need to stop supporting Ukraine and spend money on our militaries. What NATO is doing and has been doing all this year is downplaying Russian provocations like drones over NATO countries and missiles zipping border lines. This takes away the Moscow PR and denies muscovites that chance to do their pointing and roaring thing.
As @Danzy already mentioned they have huge reserves of grain and wheat. They produce the most grain in the world "on paper", but it's still not enough, they import a lot of grain. large amounts of meat are also imported.
Note also, it's the quality of what you can grow. Like Ireland produces a lot of grain for our size but most of it ends up in cattle feed as we can import better quality grain from elsewhere.
I think 2024 will be a record high for food imports into China.
They don't have enough arable land to maintain a population of 1.4B people. The Climate is C I think which is good for crops, but the land isn't flat enough to use for mass production, and as such a large amount of farming in China is done by hand. There is a huge internal migration during harvest season in China.
It was only 40 years ago that there was fammine there.
God almighty couldn't force most Europeans to take their security serious, until a new generation comes to power that won't change and it might not even then.
Been a while since the Kerch bridge was in the news. Would be nice to see it mentioned again.
What are NATO's/ the EU's redlines btw? Everytime Zelensky as much as breaks wind Putin is out announcing it as another escalation and issuing new red lines. Does the West have any? Are we being asked to believe that escalation is a one-way street?
It's a pointless target. Russia has a land route to Crimea so blowing up the bridge won't have much of an impact. It's probably more useful to Ukraine if it remains intact as Russian pride will force them to defend it with resources that would be more useful else where.
That would be showing your cards. You shouldn't tell the enemy where the limits are or aren't.
This is changing, Poland is on course to have the biggest Land Army in the EU (5% of GDP on Military in 2025!)
They've got very fertile areas which could deliver surpluses like the dutch.
But when you're purchasing power is built on engineering exports of course you'll import.
Factories are relocating west within China as there's still 300 million living agrarian settings.
Agriculture will become automated like it is in the Netherlands, and more considering chinas lead in that sector.
