I think it's too early to conclude that NK is in Russia to be trained. What i have been reading is that Russia angaged them in the russian region of KURSK where Ukraine invaded and by so doing will not need to recall any of thier soldiers already in Ukraine and as such the main purpose of Urainian invasion of those russian territories would have been defeated. I strongly believe Putin is preparing them for a counter attack against the invading Ukrainian soldiers.

Ok but using NK troops to attend UK troops in Kurst is in order by law just as NATO soldiers are in Ukraine which is also within international law.

These world leaders are playing ♟️ game. Checkmating each others move to identify weaknesses and see who blinks first.

Russia didn't need to deploy NK troops to Kurst as they still have reserves of high numbers but they had to as part of the chess game because the incursion of Ukraine into Kurst is another chess game that needed to be check mated.

Russia’s ICBM launch at Ukraine has triggered early warning systems today and such launches are by default assumed to be nuclear.

So for a short moment US and Europe thought Russia is nuking Ukraine.

They only knew that it was not nuclear by checking if the city Dnipro is still physically there after the impacts.

Essentially, If Russia decides to nuke Ukraine … the west will watch.

Second important thing to note, Russia has proven that it can deliver a conventional or nuclear payload to any place without a problem.

Ok, I get what you mean.

Let's see how the "chess game" goes for them.

Assuming he does that, what are you or NATO going to do about it?
The reason Israel is taking caution against going to war with Iran is majorly because Russia is now providing them weapons and defence weapons that include S300, S400, Su 57 with permission to produce more locally

Which caution? Someone flies over your airspace for hours destroying key facilities including ones producing weapons and you call that caution?

Is this how you shift the goal post from expect Iran to respond soon to Israel is being cautious? Iran should have responded by now based on what her ers have been chanting.

Iran is a poor nation. You can't win a war with propaganda alone. I advise them to back off and focus on their economy.

ONE THING THAT SURPRISED ME ALWAYS IS HOW AMERICA THINK THEY ARE ISOLATED AND SAVE FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD BY THEIR TWO OCEANS..... MY BROTHER, THE SPEED AT WHICH THOSE ICBM MISSILES FALLS ON UKRAINE, THERE IS NO WESTERN AIR DEFENSE INTERCEPTION TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN INTERCEPT THOSE MISSILES, AND THAT IS EVEN A SHORTER RANGE ICBM WITH A LESSER SPEED, IMAGINE WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH A LONGER RANGE ICBM WITH MACH 30 SPEED?


THE EARLIER AMERICA LEARNED TO RESPECT OTHER WORLD POWERS, THE BETTER FOR THEM AND THE REST OF THE WORLD......... THERE WAS A TOTAL PANIC THROUGHOUT WESTERN MEDIA TODAY.

allow them to be playing with fire... You See Russia AVANGARD, a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) that can travel at speeds of over Mach 27( That is over 33300km/h) I mean it will reach Washington Dc in less than 30minutes from Russia. No defense system can intercept even short range icmb Talkless something like the Avangard. If there is really a nuclear war due to the foolishness of Democrats(coz I know majority of Americans doesn't ). Every western country would take a hit direct or indirectly. Na why I dey laugh when western media like Cnn and BBC are riding on Propaganda.

Xxpress:


Apart from and the UK, which other countries in Europe has nukes?

If you understand the Ukraine War then you understand that Russia is fighting to prevent border nations from being used as a launch pad to attack Russia quickly. It is hard to defend against a sophisticated attack from a neighbouring country.

Sadly Putin has failed as the allies already have Finland in NATO and strategically next to Russia. Finland can now be armed to the teeth and Russia can't do anything about it apart from threatening nuclear warfare.

Biden is recklessly escalating things before he leaves office.

Fuckyoumod:
Russia is lucky Trump is coming to stabilize things.

Ukraine you mean ?

Hm, RUSSIA IS WARNING UKRAINE AND THE WEST BUT EVERYONE THINK THAT PUTIN IS BLUFFING.......

ONE THING THE WEST DOES NOT UNDERSTAND IS THAT THEY ARE THREATENING RUSSIA SECURITY....... IF AMERICA THINK THAT THEY ARE IMMUNE FROM NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST, THEY SHOULD KEEP PLAYING WITH FIRE AND THEY WILL SOON FIND OUT.

THROUGHOUT THIS WAR, PUTIN CLEARLY STATES ONLY 2 RUSSIA RED LINES, THEY ARE;

1. IN JANUARY 2O22, PUTIN SAYS THAT UKRAINE MUST NO NATO ELSE THERE WILL BE WAR.... UKRAINE WAS DRAFTED TO NATO AND RUSSIA INVADE UKRAINE.

2. IN 2024, PUTIN SAYS THAT IF UKRAINE ATTACK RUSSIA WITH WESTERN SUPPLIED LONG RANG MISSILES, RUSSIA WILL VIEW IT AS NATO ATTACKING RUSSIA IN COLLABORATION WITH UKRAINE AND ALL OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE INCLUDING NUCLEAR WEAPONS....... WELL THROUGHOUT YESTERDAY AMERICA/BRITISH AND UKRAINE HAVE ATTACK RUSSIA WITH WESTERN LONG RANGE MISSILE AND TODAY RUSSIA HAS STARTED USING ICBM WITH CONVENTIONAL WAR HEAD AS WARN, BUT TOMORROW IT MIGHT BE NUCLEAR WAR HEAD.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

THE WEST DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH. THEY ALL THINK THAT THEY CAN SURVIVE NUCLEAR WAR, THIS IS WRONG.


RUSSIA OWES THE WORLD A DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT NUCLEAR WEAPONS CAN DO BY CARRYING OUT A SURFACE TESTING OF THE BIGGEST NUKES ON THEIR TEST SITE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE, MAYBE IT WILL INSTILL FEAR IN HUMANITY ONCE AGAIN.

Putin is a Joker.
Let him go nuclear

cr7lomo:


U really dont know how advanced Russia is when it comes to military hardware... they are number one in the world , they have North Korea , India and China backing them .. all nukes in the the whole of Nato countries isn't up to what Russia alone has ... u think , putin will waste his nukes of Ukraine?? His target will be Ukraine alleys

Lmao. Doesn't work like that. Yes, Russia has more but:

1. Can you fire all at once?
2. What is the payload in Kilotons or Megatons of the Warhead?
3. How many can or will be intercepted?
4. How many will be a fizzle or variation absolute dud? Meaning how many will fail to explode or basically not explode enough?
5. How many warheads are packed into one missle?

Now given the variables above I'd say that, if Israel's 90 nukes have a payload or yield in megatons then it may be possible to wipe out Russia if not intercepted or properly spread out.

In summary, Putin is just making noise about the nuking any NATO ally. He knows that will also be his end and the end of Russia.

NothingDoMe:
Still mocking him. Where the nukes? Once e press that button na opportunity for all of NATO to fire nukes at Russia. He go dey okay in the end.

Do you know that Russia has weapons that can destroy the whole world?

Jovi10:

So if Russia nukes Poland you think USA would nuke Russia in return?

Sadly that's a possibility. Note that the NATO doctrine does not state that they only respond nuke for nuke.

They can use nukes if there's an immediate danger that is not nuclear related but has the capability to cause mass destruction or loss of lives.

Everyone has weapons that can destroy the world. Have you heard of the legendary Ogbunigwe? I think it has been upgraded. 😅

Russia and America actually have war heads that can destroy the whole world.

The difference btw Russia and America is they the American president don't have that veto power to command the use of such war head but his Russia counterpart have the power...

World War III is that you?

Welcome world war lll for lasting peace from America world hegemony.

Jovi10:


Like I said they're no confirmation from the articles you posted. No pictures or videos of North Korean troops in Russia. I guess you didn't read the link yourself. Till date there's been no visual confirmation of North Korean troops in Russia, if there is I'll be waiting for the links.

How can they find Videos of something that doesn't Exist?
Even if they use AI, we would find them and expose them for the fake that they are.

The North Korean Angle was just an excuse they are putting up, hoping to use it to justify NATO Troops "OPENLY" putting Boots on the ground and fighting on behalf of Ukraine,..... which has run out of Soldiers., courtesy of the "Meat Grinder" tactics of Putin.

Lmao you're a joker. Read the article yourself and stop spewing trash

Russia has fired its new ‘Oreshnik’ hypersonic ballistic missile – Putin
The strike was launched in response to Kiev’s use of Western-made long-range missiles, the president has said

As part of what the president called a “combat test,” the hypersonic missile, dubbed ‘Oreshnik’ (‘Hazel’), successfully struck a military industrial facility in the Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk (known as Dnipro in Ukraine), Putin added.

The president also vowed to publicly announce any future strikes against the Ukrainian targets involving the ‘Oreshnik’ system “for humanitarian reasons” to let civilians leave a potentially dangerous zone. The announcements would not affect the effectiveness of the strikes, he added. A ballistic missile travelling at between 2.5 and 3 kilometers per second, or 10 times faster than the speed of sound, cannot be countered with any existing air defense systems, Putin said.

According to Putin, the response involved a “hypersonic ballistic missile strike with a non-nuclear payload.” The missile struck “one of the biggest industrial complexes, which has been famous even since Soviet times and still produces missiles and other weapons.” The president was apparently referring to Yuzhmash – Ukraine’s state-owned aerospace manufacturer, which it inherited from the Soviet Union.

The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed on Thursday that the city of Dnepropetrovsk was targeted in a major Russian missile strike, involving various types of weapons. The Ukrainian military stated that Moscow had used “an intercontinental ballistic missile” as part of the strike – a claim that was disputed even by Washington.

According to Ukraine’s Air Force, the strike also involved a hypersonic Russian Kinzhal missile and seven Kh-101 cruise missiles. Ukrainian air defense forces claim to have shot down six of the cruise missiles. The Ukrainian military also said they did not possess any information on casualties or damage resulting from the strike at the time the statement was released.

Moscow will also continue the “combat tests” of its newest missile system, Putin warned, adding that Russia’s criteria for choosing targets for such tests will be determined by a security threat assessment. Moscow believes it has a right to target the military facilities of those nations that allow its weapons to be used against Russia, the president stated.

“The issue of the further deployment of short and medium-range missiles will be decided in response to the actions of the US and its satellites,” the Russian president said.

“In case of an escalation, … we will deliver a decisive mirror-like response,” he said

Very reasonable President, always thinking and trying to limit Civilian Casualty (unlike Nazi-Zelensky!), even in the midst of Provocation.
It appears Russia has a lot of "suprise weapons", like this "Hypersonic Oreshnik ICBM", in its arsenal

Ukraine has no more than 50 ATACMS missiles – media

Both The Times and Forbes News Papers have claimed that stockpiles of the much-publicized long-range US-made weapons are very low.

Ukraine’s stockpile of American-made Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) is limited, with fewer than 50 of the long-range projectiles remaining, according to reports by The Times and Forbes on Tuesday.

The use of the weapons – capable of striking targets up to 190 miles (305 km) away – deep inside Russia, has led to increased tensions between Moscow and the West, but their scarcity may hinder future operations, the media outlets have claimed.

The exact number of ATACMS delivered to Kiev has not been disclosed by Washington. However, The Times estimates that fewer than 50 missiles are in Ukrainian hands, while Forbes suggests the figure could be even lower, noting only two shipments — one in late 2023 and another in early 2024. These deliveries, according to the American magazine, are already running low after several raids on Russian targets.

“Ukraine has enough HIMARS and MLRS launchers to deploy these missiles, but with a limited supply, commanders will need to carefully choose high-value targets,” The Times noted, emphasizing the missiles’ strategic importance.

The long-range weaponry is reportedly restricted to use in specific regions, particularly Kursk, where Ukrainian forces have been occupying a small portion of Russian territory for some months. Western analysts suggest the missiles are being reserved for targets such as supply depots and command centers.

Kiev’s lobbying to use ATACMS deep inside Russia comes amid uncertainty over continued US. military aid. President-elect Donald Trump, set to take office in January, has long voiced skepticism about ing Ukraine. Forbes predicts America's ATACMS reserves could be depleted by early 2025.

So, what is Ukraine going to do, when it runs out of its limited number of American ATACMS, French SCALP and British Storm Shadows?
"Poking the Bear in the Eye", is not a great idea, neither is making yourself a Pawn, in a game of Chess.

EU facing financial dilemma over Ukraine - Politico

Brussels can only cover around 46% of reimbursement requests for military assets donated to Kiev, the news outlet reported.

The EU fund to help member states replace weaponry they’ve sent to Ukraine will cover less than half of the requests for reimbursement submitted to Brussels, Politico reported on Friday.

Shortly after the outbreak of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev in late February, the EU said it would reimburse its member states for providing arms to the Ukrainian government. Brussels allocated €‎500 million ($487.3 million) to the cause, but when the first claims were submitted, it turned out that the money was only sufficient to cover 85% of the amount, sources told the outlet.

The allocation was later increased to €1.5 billion ($1.46 billion) but, according to unnamed diplomats, it’s still insufficient. It’s currently estimated that the purse will facilitate the reimbursement of some 46% of requests, they said.

Poland was especially “angered” by the development as it alone submitted €1.8 billion ($1.75 billion) in receipts, sources revealed. “For them, below 50% is just too little,” one of the diplomats pointed out.

Moneey don dey finish, European Citizens are groaning with High prices of basic items, lack of Housing, Three Bigget Economy in Europe is in Recession (, , UK), .... their out-of-tune Political Leaders are wasting Money on Buying Weapons and wasting it on a failed project, called WAR on Russia.

You don’t know anything.

abi you go talk say why usa no fit face russia directly dey use ukraine as shield

tobby20:

Let's talk y Putin no fit face america directly .
FEAR
Dem just dey oppress who dem fot oppress na Ukraine

Ukraine President is an idiot. When the war is over, how would the country ever recover? He agreed to fire into Russia. Russia would not mind to use all its arsenal on this war...it has no beef with other major countries unlike US that is always looking for trouble and needs to keep an array of weapons at disposal. Russia can launch Biological, Chemical or Nuclear...but this idiot of a Ukraine President is following orders from US/Europe. When it is all clear and done, do not be surprised if he is assassinated or given a poison.

You may call Russia a bully, good for you...what has US been doing to Cuba, Haiti? What has China been doing to Taiwan, HongKong? Only an idiot would allow Ukraine to train with adversary next to its border. US is still punishing Cuba for contemplating allowing Russia warheads close to US...but US wants us to believe it is because of their phantom communist government while also buying products from communist China

Is Trump the president of Russia?

If anything, Trump will bend the knee to Putin's demands. He worships Putin like a God.

Russia has nothing else to lose. It is millions of Americans who would lose their lives for Ukraine, 5000km away from them.

While millions of Russians on the other hand will gain more life like Super Mario’s coins, Abi?

Come, how do you Putin bastards even think?

Do you know what “second strike capability ” is?
Or you think Putin’s Russia is invincible?

Ridiculous!

Putin is a mockery to himself , since he thinks he is super power he suppose to take on super power like or UK so we can have fair assessment

There can't be truth in the world when those who call themselves the world's police are thieves.

How many arrest warrants did the ICC issue to Obama for bombing Libya or George Bush for lying that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and then using that as a pretext to bomb and invade Iraq?

None. The US caused wars and large scale destruction and got away with it. But for some reason, it is Russia that is protecting itself from having NATO right at its borders that is suddenly your concern.

But why is Russia afraid of having NATO at her borders?
This too should be a source of concern.

Why was the United States afraid when Russia was standing military base in Cuba?

Same reason
