How bad do you think things have to be in order for him to beg for Xi’s help? It’s bleakly hilarious.


And Russia is bragging about getting 100k troop support from North Korea. Which do you think is worse?

Another Russian ship bites the dust, and very soon we get to kill North Koreans. The military contractors can’t believe their luck right now

North Korea joining with Russia makes me think the lines are being drawn for a potential WWIII.


If NK deploys 100K troops to Ukraine on Russia's behalf, I can see that as a possible catalyst for WW3.

It's one thing when two neighboring countries have a war, but for a 2nd country to come fully in on the side of the aggressor country is a significant escalation. Especially when the other country isn't involved in the dispute that started the war and is a LONG way away from the front lines.

I think Poland would come to Ukraine's aid.

Another dimension I haven't seen discussed, is that NK has huge ammo stockpiles of Soviet artillery calibers. They could make a difference simply by selling Russia some of their ammo.

British Defence Intelligence
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 6 August 2022
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE

Russian forces are almost certainly massing in the south in anticipation of Ukraine's counter-offensive or in preparation for a possible assault. Long convoys of Russian military trucks, tanks, towed artillery, and other weapons continue to move away from Ukraine's Donbas region and are headed southwest. Equipment was also reported to be moving from Russian-occupied Melitopol, Berdiansk, Mariupol and from mainland Russia via the Kerch Bridge into Crimea. Battalion tactical groups (BTG), which comprise between 800 and 1,000 troops, have been deployed to Crimea and would almost certainly be used to support Russian troops in the Kherson region. On 02 August 2022, a new BTG had been deployed to Crimea and BTGs are also being re-deployed from Eastern Grouping of Forces. These will highly likely be sent into the Kherson region in the coming days.

Ukrainian forces are focusing their targeting on bridges, ammunition depots, and rail links with growing frequency in Ukraine's southern regions including the strategically important railroad spur that links Kherson to Russian-occupied Crimea, almost certainly using a combination of block, damage, degrade, deny, destroy, and disrupt effects to try to affect Russia's ability to logistically resupply.

Russia's war on Ukraine is about to enter a new phase, with the heaviest fighting shifting to a roughly 350km front line stretching southwest from near Zaporizhzhya to Kherson, paralleling the Dnieper River.

My folks say its a go. All the conditions have been met except one. There is a belief that the one thing can be counteracted however. I hope this is going to be very successful.

Ukrainian Armed Forces burn down half a dozen Russian ammunition points in Kherson Oblast
— Saturday, 6 August 2022, 03:44

The Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed at least six Russian ammunition points in Kherson Oblast on 5 August.

Source: Operational Command Pivden (South) on Facebook

Details: The ammunition points were located in the Beryslav and Kherson districts.

In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out four airstrikes on a concentration of Russian troops, two of their strong points and an ammunition point, all located in the Beryslav and Kherson districts.

Additionally, 79 Russian servicemen have been killed and the following weapons and equipment have been destroyed: 4 T-72 tanks, 2 Msta-S self-propelled howitzers, an artillery system, a radar station, a command vehicle, 10 armoured vehicles and 11 other vehicles.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine also struck two Russian command posts – of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division and the 49th [Combined Arms] Army – in the village of Chornobaivka, the command and observation post of a Russian Battalion Tactical Group in the village of Brusynske, and a concentration of Russian weapons and equipment in the town of Oleshky.

How would 100,000 NK troops get to Ukraine with all of their equipment, artillery, food and other stuff?

How long would that take?

So far im pretty sure its just russian propaganda.

Russia cant support its troops in Ukraine, whats it gonna do with 100k koreans.

Are you trying to tell me NK can support its own logistics in Ukraine? Lmao.



As someone else mentioned above, the most likely and most helpful involvement of NK would be just to sell back some munitions to Russia since their ammo dumps seem to be having trouble not catching HIMARs

He never thinks, but instead reacts like it is the end of the world.

Dude is too ignorant to understand how that during several decades of potential nuclear war, the US and Russia were shooting each other's planes down.

Stopped offensives are prime for successful counterattacks.

Russia did this often to Germany in WWII

Even then it has to travel a long ways through foreign countries and fir some reason I doubt NK is sitting on a rail hub or there are major highways from NK to Ukraine.
Maybe via ship but even then the journey is a long one.

NK shares a border with Russia. Russia has extensive rail systems in the East.

Bus asking for Xi’s help is just pathetic.


One of Zelinski’s jobs a POU is to explore every option for winning the war or at least making peace on the most favorable terms possible for Ukraine. Russia will not negotiate with the USA on behalf of Ukraine or allow the USA to mediate talks between Russia and Ukraine. France and Germany have stabbed Ukraine in the back multiple times over the last decade. Russia attacked Odessa before the ink was dry on the grain deal mediated by Turkey. Israel is no longer in a position of political stability to serve as a mediator at this point. What does Ukraine have to lose by asking China to mediate talks between Russia and Ukraine? What does Ukraine have to lose by asking China for aid (Chine does have a large supply of soviet designed SAMs and other weapons)? The worst that can happen is China declines to mediate, or Ukraine and Russia are unable to come to agreement. So what exactly is pathetic about that?

Honestly I didn’t know that. I always thought China was between them.

Ukraine was literally getting help from SJW Reddit volunteers and y’all were praising. It!
