Are mobile phones with internet access standard issue for Nth Korean soldiers? I phones no doubt.

There's a lot of 'noise' about DPRK some of it a concerted attempt to promote escalation from the west which sadly for Ukraine is falling on deaf ears as the Ukrainian Ambo to the UN spoke about in my post upthread. This looks like one of those "fun" articles designed to seed the media landscape. Just my "hot" asian babes take.

EU countries will do it, regardless of Trump. Whether it's wasteful or not is not important. The expenditure will simply be necessary if Putin wins. Several countries are already thinking about r

Everything I read leads me to believe the Koreans are only engaged in Kursk, which is in Russia.

 

Seems the west's propaganda machine is in full flow with the BS.

 

 

The NK deal transactionally speaking for the parties is mutually beneficial.

Ukraine is forced to confront a brutal Trump reality that it hoped would never happen

 

https://au.yahoo.com/news/ukraine-forced-confront-brutal-trump-050147990.html

The Putin apologists and supporters club will be in their element with the news of a Trump leadership after his promise to end the conflict in 24 hours. They revel in the though of Ukraine being subjected to further Russian occupation despite the war crimes carried out to get those gains.

 

Without doubt its a setback for Ukraine but its pointless speculating until Trump comes up with a solid plan that is agreed and implemented, until then all articles are pure speculation.

 

Currently "Trump hasn’t approved a specific peace plan"

 

“Anyone—no matter how senior in Trump’s circle—who claims to have a different view or more detailed window into his plans on Ukraine simply doesn’t know what he or she is talking about or doesn’t understand that he makes his own calls on national-security issues, many times in the moment, particularly on an issue as central as this,” a former Trump National Security Council aide said.

Maybe worth watching out for. These North Korean soldiers have red tape on the butts of their guns. Both Russian and Ukrainian troops use identifying coloured tape - but it's usually on their uniforms & helmets.

At this stage with no hope of victory a messy peace is preferable to a continuing dirty war with a disproportinate loss of life on the Ukrainian side. Let's hope that Trump follows through and gets that deal across the line and soon. Europe is very nearly bust and with the engine of Germany stalling there's no money left to make up a US shortfall should it happen nor the weapons or manpower either. This is the only glimmer of hope in a Trump victory - the rest is a disaster for the world.

Trump Will Test European Solidarity on NATO, Ukraine and Trade
Another Trump term could spur Europe’s efforts to stand on its own, but it is far from clear its leaders will seize the moment this time.

Trump changes everything - this war started under Biden and will end under Trump. Whether Ukraine will survive as a viable state is a moot point. Blinken and Nuland along with Putin have blood on their hands.

Russia steps up mass drone attacks in bid to overwhelm Ukrainian defenses - CNN

 

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/07/europe/russia-ukraine-kyiv-drone-record-intl/index.html

 

 As well as drastically increasing the number of strikes, Russia has begun to fire decoy drones without warheads to overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses. Decoy drones carry a “3D-printed ball wrapped in foil” to imitate the warhead of an Iran-made Shahed-136 drone, Yuriy Ihnat, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s air defenses, told CNN.

These cheaper drones confuse Ukraine’s air defenses, which may shoot down decoy drones instead of ones carrying a lethal warhead. Decoy drones now account for as many as half of all Russian drones fired at Ukraine, Ihnat said.

The Russian army has been pounding Ukraine throughout the war, but the moves signal a change in Moscow’s tactics following Donald Trump’s reelection as president, who could pull support. Meanwhile, Ukraine is under fierce pressure on the eastern frontlines, where its army chief has warned his forces are facing “one of the most powerful Russian offensives” since the start of the war.
