  1. Pretty ridiculous how North Korea alone just gave Russia 3 times the shells that the entirety of EU supplied to Ukraine

  2. NK shells are arriving.

    To anyone thinking “this is nothing” – no, it’s not. These shells are good enough to cause a shit load of damage. Russia will be able to conduct offensive operations in a way it prefers to again, unfortunately. And the most concerning factor here – there are indications that it is not going to be a one time activity and we can expect more to come.

    Generally speaking, I am against calling out our allies on anything, simply because we are extremely grateful for any help we are currently getting (and believe me, we are) and also because it is usually counter-productive to the cause. However, one thing needs to be acknowledge – the collective West is extremely slow in how it reacts in a world that no longer allows for it.

    Ukraine is becoming more than a regional war, it’s becoming a clear battleground between the collective West and the authoritarian regimes from all around the world. We are seeing drones from Iran and now shells from North Korea, it’s probably a matter of time before we see other regimes going in on the side of russia. And while the help from the West is crucial to us, it’s quite ridiculous that one of the poorest nations in the World can supply more ammo in a shipment than EU can in a year.

    If Ukraine falls, the consequences are hard to predict. But one thing for sure, Authoritarians will feel like anything goes as long as you have the guns to back it up. Digging your head into the sand and hoping that Iran, China, russia or any other authoritarian regime will just stop is quite childish.

  3. So hypothetically. If unknown planes bombed the Kremlin, what would happen.

  4. They were probably shelling Hamas so it’s all good.
