Protecting Russian Sovereignty from Ukraine Invasion!! hahahah What a load of crap
North Korea Labels Ukrainian Attacks on Russia as "Unforgivable Terrorism"
North Korea has condemned Ukraine's recent incursions into Russian territory as an "unforgivable act of terrorism," blaming the United States and Western nations for backing these actions.
Denounces Attacks
In a statement released by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), North Korea declared its unwavering support for Russia in its efforts to protect its sovereignty, according to DIGI24.The KCNA report accused the U.S. of supplying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with "astronomical" amounts of lethal aid, framing the Ukrainian actions as part of a broader U.S. policy of anti-Russian confrontation that is pushing global tensions towards the brink of World War III.
North Korea's Foreign Ministry denounced the attacks, calling them an act of aggression supported by the West.
Russian Allies
Over the past year, North Korea has strengthened its ties with Russia, holding two summits between leader Kim Jong Un and President Vladimir Putin. These meetings culminated in a "comprehensive strategic partnership" agreement in June, which includes a mutual defense pact.Accusations have arisen from South Korea, Ukraine, and the United States alleging that North Korea has supplied Russia with artillery and missiles for use in its conflict with Ukraine. Both North Korea and Russia have denied these allegations.
Ukraine Orders 50,000+ Civilians to Evacuate Pokrovsk

We need to send in the U.S. Army to free those people. Besides, if we don't stop the Russians in Ukraine they'll be on American doorstep next.

So he's calling for Putun to turn this into WW3? No more proxy just direct nuclear confrontation with NATO. Seems like the WORST possible option for everyone on the planet.
He's a nobody. There is nothing to take seriously with him.

Oh I know. It's just people don't think things like this through and comments like his only make it worse.
When dealing with major nuclear powers (US, Russia, China and maybe India) you've got to be very careful to not trip that line.
Open conflict between them will probably lead to nuclear war and billions dead across the globe. No one should ever want any two in open conflict but you also can't let a rogue country go invading it's neighbors.
I'm worried about the people of Russia and what they think as Russian state TV drags these "nobody's" out and they spout these outrageous ideas.....I just don't want the people of Russia to start to buy in as this is an option
Its part of their propaganda technique. They have a number of people spew contradicting accounts on purpose, and then craft a state narrative with the ones that gain the most traction. There does not appear to be any serious nuclear threat at this point.
Hold up, lets get this straight.
Russia Attacks Ukraine
Russia remains in Ukraine Territory for over a year and continues to attck
Ukraine finally fights back and goes on the offensive against Russia.
And if the United States doesn't stop the Ukraine offensive while IGNORING RUSSIA already year long occupation of Ukraine Territory , then Putin has the Green Light to start World War 3??
And somehow this all the Fault of US Democrats and Joe Biden..
What in the actual hell kinda Mental Gymnastics is going on here ?
A close ally of Vladimir Putin, Sergei Chemezov, has issued a stark warning to the West, stating that it risks sparking a third World War if Ukraine's assault on Russian territory continues. Chemezov, who is also the CEO of Rostec corporation, a major supplier of Russia's arms for the war, expressed confidence in Russia's position more than two years into its brutal invasion of Ukraine.
The former KGB general echoed the Kremlin's stance that the conflict is essentially a battle between the West and Russia. He criticized the US for fuelling the conflict by supplying weapons to Kyiv and allowing strikes deep into Russia, and warned of the increasing risk of a global conflict.
Putin declared last week that Russian forces would drive Ukrainian troops out of Russian sovereign territory, but they remain within Russia's borders.
The autocrat asserts that the invasion of Ukraine is part of an existential struggle against a declining and decadent West, which he accuses of humiliating Russia after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 by encroaching on what he views as Moscow's sphere of influence, including Ukraine.
Moscow alleges that the West was complicit in planning for Ukraine's assault on the Kursk region. Western powers, keen to avoid direct military conflict with Russia, have refuted this and accuse Russia of fuelling the war.
Chemezov, 71, found himself under American and EU sanctions following Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. He dismissed as a 'myth' the notion that Russian shop shelves were empty due to sanctions and increased defense spending. "Go to any Russian hypermarket and see for yourself - everything is fine," he said.
"We have weathered the main storm. We've managed to turn the situation to our advantage and draw necessary conclusions. One of them being: no more joint ventures based on trust with Western countries," stated Chemezov.
Russia ranks third in the world for arms exports, trailing behind the US and France. However, its global market share dipped in 2023 due to the conflict in Ukraine, as reported by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

Chemezov asserted that defense companies would continue to significantly contribute to Russia's economy, even post-Ukraine conflict. While weapons exports have seen a decline, Chemezov noted signs of substantial deferred demand from overseas. This is partly attributed to the battlefield-proven effectiveness of Russian weapons in Ukraine.
"Our partners are understanding and prepared to wait," Chemezov said, without disclosing their identities. "There's already a considerable queue on the waiting list."

Have you seen any word that Washington is taking off all limits on American offensive weapon use? That our weapons can now be used throughout Russia?
I’m seeing it in foreign press that is about half right of the time. Still don’t see it our press.
This is the fault of the entire crew. Both houses. Both sides. I believe if Trump won, we would be doing the same things, just closer to China.
I'm reading US has opened a few but not all..and I'm also reading the US is preventing Ukraine from deploying some UK systems as well that UK gave them permission to use

What changed? We went to war in Vietnam to free those people and make sure there wouldn't be a communist falling domino effect ending up at our doorstep. Yet, we gave up and left Vietnam to go communist, but communism never got here. It didn't go to much of anywhere else. Anyway, with your kind of thinking, I'm glad I'm not 21. Back when I was 21, nuclear war getting set off was a bad enough worry.
Can't user the Dollar and NOW they can't use the Yuan...the two largest currencies in the world. RUSSIA's ECONOMY IS FU@@ed
According to Reuters, lenders ured Russia's central bank to address a yuan liquidity shortage in the nation, with insiders stating that access to the Chinese currency was running dry.
Russia's ruble dropped nearly 5% against the yuan earlier this week, Retuers noted. The drop came shortly after Russia's finance ministry suggested the Central Bank of Russia would shrink its daily yuan sales, with central bankers selling just $200 million a day, down from the $7.3 billion sold daily in the last month.
Sberbank, a large state-owned lender in Russia, told Reuters it could no longer lend in yuan due to having "nothing to cover" the trade.
VTB, the second-largest lender in Russia, said it urged the central bank to counter the yuan liquidity shortage through currency drops, and added that exporters to the nation should sell yuan to Russia as well.
The shortage has stemmed from Chinese banks, who are more hesitant to trade currency in Russia after the US threatened to impose secondary sanctions on those doing business with Russia while it continues its war against Ukraine.
Payment scuffles between Russian companies and Chinese banks have escalated in recent weeks, with nearly all Chinese banks stopping transactions with Russia. Some banks have even returned payments for goods that had already been sent to Russia, out of fear of being targeted by sanctions, a Russian media outlet reported.
Russian businesses, meanwhile, have been locked out of billions in recent months, mainly due to payment issues at foreign banks, according to data from Russia's central bank.
The payment difficulties are a problem for Russia's economy, which has grown more isolated from global markets, and consequently, more reliant on China's yuan after being targeted by Western sanction in 2022.
Russia's central bank said the yuan had become its main exchange currency this year, accounting for more than half of all currency trades in the nation.
Russian banks say they've run out of yuan as Chinese firms pull away from the nation
- Russia's yuan reserves are nearly depleted due to Chinese banks' fear of US sanctions.
- Russian banks urged the country's central bank to address the yuan liquidity deficit, causing the ruble to drop.
- China's hesitance stems from US threats of secondary sanctions over Russia's Ukraine war financing.
