It is a standard dictator's playbook. It is stupid, but it works — the dictator creates problems, then stokes the fear, misdirecting the cause of the problems (=bad governance or actual malice) to the opponents of the dictator's clique, or towards some marginalized community.
Example: the Bolshevik's government created food shortages that killed millions in the USSR, would they admit that their collectivisation policies failed? Of course not, instead, they used the crisis to confiscate food from, and to deport and kill the very people who could have solved the food crisis — the slightly wealthier peasants ("kulaks").
Why is it stupid? Because even baboons employ the same trick — a baboon "alpha male" sometimes prevents the group from foraging in the best places, to create the artificial shortage of resources so that he can control the group easier. We, the supposed homo sapiens, are supposed to be smarter than baboons, yet somehow leaders that fit the baboon type regularly get into power in many countries.
Just because a newspaper says something (or not) doesn't make it true.
Disappointing but not surprising.
Taught it to Dictator Trump. All fear, all the time
"Time will tell".
Ever since this invasion kicked off, I've noticed and previously noted it on the previous thread, damned near every single pro Putin type I've encountered online and off uses this phrase, usually when spewing yet another round of Kremlin Nazi Bio Birds spin aimed at confusion, or something the same Kremlin spin knows will hurt them.
So when you read/hear "Time will tell" it's a near given it's coming from a Putinist.
They get everything you mention plus a way to launch satellites too
edit; reports of drone technologies being transferred to N Korea too

The russians are taking the news well. It seems the American right wing and russia are in perfect harmony in condemning Biden for giving Ukraine the weapons to defend themselves. It always goes back to nuclear war.
Indeed, deploying another axis military (North Korea) in Ukraine has been risky for Putin. It's one of the key reasons the US has allowed Ukraine to use missiles inside Russia.
Also Putin might want to move those military forces away from the nuclear plant in Kursk - that's right in range. Just saying. If Putin tried anything funky with the nuclear plant he has held hostage in Ukraine those forces in the Kursk plant could now be targeted by all sorts of very precise US missiles.
Interesting how Ukraine is only ever catching up to it's enemy's capabilities - yet each time it does it's an "escalation"
By the country invading it, in a war that invader can stop at any time
What is North Korea getting out of all of this? Not following this war in that much detail and I'm struggling to understand this. Are they being sent there to get combat experience? Are they getting help with their nuclear program? Are they getting food for the winter; a never-ending problem for North Korea, it appears?
The next big moment for Europe will be the German elections. The coalition formed has potential to be more pro Ukraine but also hugely less in support.
By then we should know what way the Trump policy is heading. Such an important next couple of months to help Ukraine stabilise the front.
Macron says what we know, Russia is not interested in “pause”, this is a guy who spent inordinate amounts of time and political capital trying to prevent Putin from starting this war and created the infamous “off-ramp” meme
Surely this is a major escalation of hostilities???
LOL, Putin just launched 200 odd missiles at Ukraine and has introduced a literal nuclear armed country into his war and you are only worried now?
I see only one good response to this: Biden should order the US Airforce to carry out a full "shock and awe" attack against Russian military targets in Ukrainian territory to occur on January 19th. Leave Putin's bitch to explain his predecessor's actions.
Calm down, it’s not your war… why should you go fight in Ukraine?
The option of freezing the Ukrainian conflict along the line of military clashes is unacceptable for Russia, — Peskov

BTW are you still insisting there are no Koreans in Russian invasion of Ukraine
Has time told you anything about that? Including an article from Chinese only few posts up
FFS I’m sick of this cowardice.
French newspaper Figaro has amended it's article from yesterday and now only includes the US missiles with storm shadow / scalp being removed. Time will tell i suppose.
😂 Very true. Hopefully the official line is just "Kursk region" but in reality they can do whatever they want.
All the Ukraine telegram channels I follow including Dennis Davydov. They say the permission posted about UK/France long range strikes were deleted also.
All this talk of what they're allowed to do. I guess we'll judge it when the strikes actually start happening. Shouldn't be too long now.
Ukrainian Drone operator 1: hey Dimitriy does this bunch of soldiers here looks Korean to you
Ukrainian Drone operator 2: Sure look narrow eyed to me on this high resolution feed we have from this angle, and look at this dude over in bushes with his pants down and phone out
Ukrainian Operator 1: taps on keyboard a fire support request for sector 123 mark 0.05
Source for this?
So it's been clarified now that long range strikes can only be conducted in the Kursk region and in particular on north Korean troops.
Ill bet on power grid in arms producing towns.
That protects Ukrainian citizens, and is a strong propaganda and disruption with winter approaching.
If your town makes the means that bombs us, then we bomb your town and you have no heat in winter. Which is probably hardwired into the Russia brain to cause a massive freakout.
Putin takes it out on civilians again, wonder what “Friends of Russia” will make of this
Am I the baddie for hoping they choke on their morning decadent western corn flakes bowl?
Wonder what targets Ukraine can hit to really weaken Russia especially before Trump takes over .Some massive hits on the military would really need to leave Putin short and force him backwards ,that might be wishful thinking on my behalf of course .
No. Stop showing Putin fear and weakness.
That’s all he does, tries to scare and intimidate people, it’s all he’s got as his army has been shown to be a paper tiger.
He rules his country through fear, let’s not fall for the same in the West.
Putin was warned dragging in North Korea will have consequences
Putin ignored these warnings
Only two days ago Scholz asked him to pause the war, he replied with larger wave of Iranian and Korean missiles and drones launched in a day
@Hamsterchops can you explain why it’s ok for Putin to ignore multiple warnings not to escalate but yet the whole world needs to tremble and respect a criminal mafia don who hijacked a country?
Spell it out what exactly are you worried about? What has Russian terrorism made you afraid of?
What I mean is, in addition to everything else that's that going on in the war, including N Korean troops being deployed by Rissia. Launching US long range missiles deep into Russia itself is a risky strategy, specially after Putins warnings, No?
“Friend of Russia” blah blah Express Much Concern
Me - press X for doubt
If only so much concern was shown when Putin dragged in a second nuclear armed country into the war
