Other Factors: Why Many People Overlook Donald Trump’s Character, Lying, and Deception
I refuse to put on winter tires because: • It’s my car, my choice, my freedom. • The effectiveness of winter tires is not proven, except by studies carried out by the manufacturers (like I’m supposed to trust them). • My neighbor Bob had an accident even after putting on winter tires. • Some drivers are already on their 3rd set of tires, which proves their ineffectiveness. • We do not know what the tires are made of. • The tire manufacturers scare us with winter just to enrich themselves. • In fact, I read on the internet that the tire giants invented snow and spread it at night when you sleep. • If I have winter tires, the government can track me in the snow. This year, I say no to winter tires! -

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
Russia has officially confirmed the deployment of North Korean soldiers in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, particularly in the Kursk region. This marks a significant development in the war, highlighting the deepening military ties between Moscow and Pyongyang.Wikipedia+2Reddit+2Wikipedia+2Reuters Confirmation and Deployment On April 26, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russian forces had regained control of the Kursk region, previously captured by Ukraine in a surprise offensive. Putin declared the Ukrainian operation a failure and claimed this victory enables further advances. However, Ukrainian officials disputed these claims, stating the battle in Kursk continues and calling Russia’s statements propaganda. Despite setbacks following Ukraine’s earlier territorial gains, particularly in August, Moscow has reportedly regained key areas with the help of about 14,000 North Korean troops. General Valery Gerasimov praised the North Korean soldiers for their support. New York Post+3New York Post+3AP News+3 Combat Performance and Casualties North Korean troops, estimated at around 14,000, have been actively involved in combat operations in the Kursk region. Despite initial challenges due to inadequate equipment and lack of experience, these forces have adapted to the battlefield conditions. Reports indicate that by March 2025, approximately 5,000 North Korean soldiers had been killed or wounded. ABC News A notable incident highlighting their involvement is a bodycam video released by Ukraine's Special Operations Forces, showing eight Ukrainian rangers eliminating 25 North Korean troops in Russian trenches in Kursk. The Ukrainian rangers quickly secured advantageous firing positions and launched a successful assault, despite being outnumbered and under artillery fire. One ranger was injured by shrapnel during the encounter, but the team continued their attack, using thermal vision scopes and grenade launchers. After neutralizing the North Korean unit, the rangers discovered and confiscated documents, including Russian materials and notes in Korean. The incident occurred in March 2025 in the Kursk region, previously captured by Ukraine in a counter-invasion aimed at diverting Russian forces and strengthening Ukraine's position in peace talks. Moscow had deployed over 11,000 North Korean soldiers to reclaim the territory, though their effectiveness has been questioned due to issues like friendly fire and desertion. Financial Times+4New York Post+4AP News+4 Strategic Implications The deployment of North Korean troops underscores the strengthening alliance between Russia and North Korea. This collaboration extends beyond personnel, with North Korea supplying Russia with significant military aid, including ballistic missiles and artillery shells. Intelligence from Ukraine and South Korea, supported by satellite imagery and social media evidence, indicates North Korea has provided Russia with 148 KN-23 and KN-24 missiles, millions of artillery shells, and rocket systems. A joint Reuters investigation tracked 64 shipments over 20 months, involving 15,000 containers and an estimated 4 million artillery rounds. Experts suggest North Korean munitions now constitute up to 70% of Russia’s artillery supplies, making them strategically essential. Additionally, newer North Korean weapons are being tested on Ukrainian battlefields, potentially enhancing Pyongyang’s capabilities. Despite denials, North Korea also reportedly sent thousands of troops to Russia’s Kursk region, with continued deployments after initial heavy losses. This growing military alliance, formalized by a 2024 treaty between Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin, may lead to further exchanges of advanced weaponry and technology, strengthening both nations’ military power.
