    Please remember that I know nothing.

    >White House national security communications adviser John Kirby confirmed on December 16 that North Korean forces are engaged in combat operations and suffering losses in Kursk Oblast as Russian official sources continue to avoid reporting on or confirming the deployment of North Korean forces to combat in Russia.

    Oh Putin, darling, don’t feel shame—we all need help sometimes, for many burdens are heavier than we can lift alone. We lean on each other, take care of one another. It’s what makes us human. Or at least that’s what I’d say if you weren’t a miserable piece of shit who should be put up against a wall and shot.

    Yep, folks, Putin is ashamed because he asked Kim Jong Un for help. In the West it’s common knowledge North Koreans are fighting Ukrainians in Kursk, but in Russia it’s still a state secret. The Kremlin was to hide the fact that they’re so weak they require foreign troops to recapture homeland territories. They need to keep that tidbit locked. Unfortunately North Koreans are conspicuous. They’re four foot nothing; their faces look different; and they die easy. The Kremlin’s excuse that the North Koreans are all recruits from the Russian Republic of Buryatia won’t last when the hospitals fill up with soldiers who only speak Korean.

    Nevertheless, the Russian are intent on keeping North Korean soldiers a secret. They’re refusing to allow trainees show their faces outside. The ISW doesn’t go into details in how they’re accomplishing this feat, so I assume it’s either balaclavas or covid-masks and sunglasses. The Russians are also scrubbing the internet of any footage of North Koreans. And, most sickeningly, they’re burning the faces off any North Korean casualties before their transport to the morgue. It’s disgusting. Can you folks imagine? Coffin after coffin of seared-off faces, like the aftermath of a serial killer’s fetishistic ritual. The things we do in war.

    >The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) announced on December 18 that Russian authorities detained the suspect who planted the improvised explosive device (IED) that killed Russian Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Defense Forces (NBC) Head Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov and his aide, Major Ilya Polikarpov, in Moscow on December 17.

    Surprise! The cops arrested a brown person! What a twist!

    Here in America we’ve got a pattern where, whenever anything interesting happens, our police arrest the darkest-skinned person they can find, so it warms my heart to hear the FSB’s investigative skills are on par with the LAPD. I can empathize better, you know? It’s like a little slice of home dropped into Russia. I feel like I’d be reading this story on the front page of my hometown newspaper: ‘Officer Beats-Up Minority. Receives Administrative Leave With Pay.’

    Ukraine clearly pulled off this targeted assassination, and they did it by turning a scooter into a pipe bomb. And before anyone gets too excited, I don’t think the Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov rode the scooter. It’s my understanding that someone left the scooter next to the door of an apartment complex and detonated it when the lieutenant general and his aid were within range. The bomb was clearly successful, though, and the two are very, very dead. This is the second targeted assassination in Moscow in about a week. Ukraine is demonstrating a chillingly effective capacity with these killings.

    Now the FSB needs to show they’re doing something, so today they arrested a 29-year-old man from Uzbekistan and accused him of planting the IED. I don’t know if the Uzbeki man did it. I do think it’s suspicious how quickly the FSB grabbed someone. And I find it interesting how that someone is coincidentally from one of Russia’s few Muslim-dominated regions. It seems like every time the FSB picks someone up they’re Uzbekistan.

    Anyway, we’ll never know the truth. I wish this poor Uzbeki man luck, though.

    >Neither the Kremlin nor the interim Syrian government appear sure of the future of Russian bases in Syria, likely accounting for Russia’s continued visible preparations at Hmeimim Air Base and the Port of Tartus to withdraw forces despite claims and reports that the interim Syrian government might extend Russian basing rights.

    HTS is looking increasingly like they’re going to become the official Syrian government, and these bases are their first big, international decision. Keep the bases, or kick Putin out. Kicking Putin out aligns the new Syrian government with the West, but Putin is probably offering a whole hell of a lot of money. Like an obscene amount of money.

    HTS appears to lack internal consensus. One faction is saying one thing, the other saying another, so we don’t know what’s going to happen yet with the bases. This story remains unresolved. We’ll know more come mid-January.

    >Ukrainian forces reportedly struck a chemical plant in Rostov Oblast on December 18.

    Ukraine hurled ten missiles at a chemical plant yesterday. Russian intelligence is claiming Storm Shadow and ATACMS missiles, but this doesn’t fit the profile of a Storm Shadow or ATACMS strike. For one, the chemical plant still exists. And for another, the choice of target isn’t in keeping with the standard Storm Shadow and ATACMS profile. Those missiles go after big, expensive things like S-400s or command centers, usually targets that are well protected and important.

    I think these ten missiles were Peklos, Ukraine’s new domestically produced drone-missile. A chemical plant, whose primary product is jet fuel, is just the sort of target for a low payload drone strike. A missile in the right place can turn the entire plant into a conflagration. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to have happened, so Ukraine will have to keep trying.

    >Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Head off the Department of Combating Crimes Committed in Conditions of Armed Conflict, Yuri Bilousov, reported on November 1 that Russian forces have executed at least 109 Ukrainian POWs since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022 and that Russian forces have intensified the number of POW executions they commit in 2024.

    ‘Q’ for the Community:

    * What are the implications of Ukraine’s cheap, low-cost drone missile? What are the most effective targets for them to go after?

  2. Sorry, but this is a shit article (full of AI art, because, of course it is).

    The author has no fucking clue if they believe that Putin, the sociopath, feels “shame.” He’s speculating. Honestly, it’s not even clear if Russia “needs” north korean help, manpower wise. The article is just speculation after speculation .. from putin to the sort of missiles Ukraine recently used on a target.

    This bears repeating since quite a few people misunderstand fascist russia and putin’s intent. I think the author sure does.

    Putin’s goal – his only goal – is to stay in power. The russian invasion of Ukraine happened because of this goal.

    Every other theory of putin – from his supposed “imperial ambitions to reconstitute the russian empire and/or ussr” to idiot theories of “russia invaded ukraine for its natural gas” is in service of this. It’s also for this exact reason that putin will never, EVER attack NATO, but that’s a different story.

    for putin to stay in power in russia ultimately means minimally upsetting the willing middle class ethnically white fascists of moscow and st petersburg – you know, the ones with nice pictures of their families on holiday in thailand and egypt instagram and also the same ones that if you meet in europe will pretend that they are secretly against the regime or are ‘apolitical.’ so, if there is a chance to import soldiers — from africa, from north korea, etc then that’s what he will do. it doesn’t mean he “has” to do it. there’s no “shame” in it. It’s just his politically cheapest option. if he has to send nuclear tech to north korea in exchange for this, he does not care.

    so, is it kept “secret” from the russian public? to the extent that large segments of the russian public are regularly fed and believe a ww2-like narrative of ethnically white russian VDV heroes taking out “nazi fascist gayropa” ukrainians, then yes, the korean aspect is downplayed. but it’s not because putin feels “shame.” There’s no evidence of this. it’s just putin’s calculating, evil practicality.

    and this continues to be why vladimir putin is in many ways the most evil man to ever have lived (not in all ways, of course). hitler, stalin, mao, and pol pot at least had some semblance of an ideology – some sense of how they were bettering society and humanity (and the psychotic notion that a large number of innocents had to die to see this ideology through, but still). With putin, there is none. Zero. There’s simply whatever it takes to keep him personally in power. And because there is zero thought for anything other than this, there is no shame whatsoever.

    From the pieces:

    “Here in America we’ve got a pattern where, whenever anything interesting happens, our police arrest the darkest-skinned person they can find,”

    So, while I don’t discount racism, you get the sense of the clueless asshole who wrote this shit article. They know nothing about putin. They just have some political axe to grind. Fuck them. Fuck this shite article written by a clueless narcissist.

    and fuck putin.
