Putin admits Russia has hit rock bottom

Besides the fact that he never said those words, the problem is that if Russia gets pushed far enough and feels it is going to collapse, will Putin and his supporters go the same way as they did under Mikhail Gorbachev, when they voluntarily backed away and resigned. The problem as I see it, is that when Boris Yeltsin then became President of the Russian State, things started to go downhill.  As things started to fall apart badly within 10 years, Yeltsin was forced to resign in 1999 due to internal conflicts and protests, and Putin took over (he was PM) and he turned things around economically. and was elected President several times.  So moving forward will Putin back down if Russia if it is going to collapse, or will he take down Europe with him and the country. I think it is the latter, and that NATO/USA would be wise to seek a settlement rather than trying to kill him and Russia off.  And I reckon that if Russia looks like going that way/path, then China will see that it is in their best interests to join with Russia (and some other countries too).  IMO China will see it that if/when Russia is destroyed, then they are next.

 

I have believed for a long time that the West should have taken out Russia/Stalin during WW2 - and Patton said so at the time and he was right.  The fact that Churchill and Roosevelt agreed with Stalin the divide up Europe once Germany was defeated, was one of the biggest atrocities of WW2. The world today would have been very different (and better IMO) that it is now, following 80 years of a 'cold war' that clearly has never really gone away.  MAD is still on the table - between them China and Russia has enough armaments to destroy most of the world - and USA and NATO has even more.  IMO Ukraine is not something the world should be going to war over - nor is Taiwan.

Is that why Russia needs soldiers from NK then........

It is the most interesting question. WHY does Russian army of 500k-1M soldiers need 3k of North Koreans? This look extremely strange. And even more strange - every second news link is about NK - western media seems to overrate the importance of these 3k, don't they? Or... there is something they are not telling you.
Let's remember last year's events in the Ukrainian war. In June 2023, my Ukrainian colleagues told me that Prigozhin would soon take Moscow, Putin would go down in history and the war would end. 
The whole world watched and wondered - why 500 thousand soldiers of the Russian Defense Ministry in the rear did not prevent the march of 4 thousand soldiers of Prigozhin towards Moscow. And you thought that all the officials in Russia love Putin? Then - in 2023 - Putin's salvation came from abroad. Lukashenko saved him. Because Lukashenko's troops do not obey the Russian Defense Ministry and even a small number - 2-3 thousand soldiers of Lukashenko were enough to discourage the putschists from going to Moscow. Today, instead of 2-3 thousand soldiers of Lukashenko, Putin is helped by 3 thousand soldiers of Kim Jong-un. The difference is that Lukashenko can be intimidated. But Kim cannot be intimidated.

Russian drones hunt civilians, evidence suggests

 

A graphic comprising four screengrabs from drone footage, showing an attack in early October 2024. The first frame shows a distant view of two people, highlighted with a red circle, walking along a wide, curved road, surrounded by buildings and trees. A second frame shows the drone closer to the two people and almost directly overhead, while a third shows an explosion right where the two people where walking. In the final frame the two people in civilian clothes can be seen lying on the ground injured, highlighted again with red circles.

Serhiy is one of 30 civilians killed in a sudden surge in Russian drone attacks in Kherson since 1 July, the city’s military administration told the BBC. They have recorded more than 5,000 drone attacks over the same period, with more than 400 civilians injured. 

But the BBC has heard eyewitness testimony and seen credible evidence that suggest Russia is using drones also against civilians in the frontline city of Kherson.

"They can see who they are killing," says Angela. "Is this how they want to fight, by just bombing people walking in the streets?"

If Russia is found to be intentionally targeting civilians, it would be a war crime.

Anyone who thinks this is not Genocide must take a long look in the mirror it has been estimated in three years he has killed over 30,000 civilians using Drones.  

30.000 killed by drones from total 9.300 civilian’s deaths, right. Why use brain, just share.

 

By 30 September 2024, OHCHR had recorded 36,357 civilian casualties in Ukraine since February 24, 2022: 11,973 killed and 25,943 injured, but said they believe the real number is higher. This included 31,315 (9,367 killed and 21,948 injured) occurred on territory covered by the government of Ukraine and 6,601 (2,606 killed and 3,995 injured) on territory controlled by Russian armed forces or their affiliates.
