    Almost funny that Putin is so desperate that Jong Un makes Putin come to him to kiss the ring in exchange for ammo.

    I’d do the “are we the baddies?” thing, but I think Putin and Kim know they are already.

    Why? Cant they make their own? I thought if Russia was producing anything useful, it would be ammo at this point.

    Wouldn’t it be funny if the western powers bought all of north Korea’s armory out and gave it to Ukraine for defense against Russia

    How funny would it be if Putin went to North Korea, and then was stuck inside? They say North Korea is inescapable. I don’t know how true that is, but it would be funny if Kim Jong Un was just like Ariel Castro, like “GOTCHA BITCH!”

    Except unlike Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight, I won’t feel sorry for the captive.

      I had to reread that, because I thought Knight Rider had been trapped in North Korea.

    This another ‘war is days from being over, Russia on verge of defeat,’ propaganda piece?

    In 2 years we’ve had ‘Putin nearly dead,’ ‘fighting with WWII shovels,’ ‘Russia out of weapons,’ ‘using WWII equipment and tanks,’ ‘lost 87% of troops,’ ‘sanctioned killed their economy’ This list is endless.

      There has never been a shortage of quality equipment for elite units but in the early stages of the conscription people where issued everything stored in bunkers and depots at hand including personal weapons from late WWII/early Cold War.

      And if you look at confirmed vehicle losses there is a clear trend towards older and older albeit to various degrees modernized platforms. So yeah, Russia IS running out of modern weapons for the average unit in the field.

      The issue at hand though is the longer the conflict draggs on the more Russia is able to adapt. Evading sanctions by laundering oil in India. Importing vital electronic components through China. And now securing more ammo in North Korea. Which btw the west is doing in South Korea and other places around the world as well.
