In Need of Munitions, Putin to Visit North Korea
In Need of Munitions, Putin to Visit North Korea
Seeking more weapons for the war in Ukraine, the Russian president plans to return to the country on Tuesday for the first time in nearly a quarter-century.
Russia is a North Korean client state now.
15I'd do the "are we the baddies?" thing, but I think Putin and Kim know they are already.
7Kim inherited his mess. Putin made his own.
That's not to say that Kim isn't allowing things to continue mostly as they were, but it could be beyond his ability to change things even if he wanted to.
Putin, on the other hand, only needs to call off the "special military exercise" and most of his immediate problems will go away.

Why? Cant they make their own? I thought if Russia was producing anything useful, it would be ammo at this point.
6North Koreans, this is your chance to be world heroes
5Wouldn't it be funny if the western powers bought all of north Korea's armory out and gave it to Ukraine for defense against Russia
4How funny would it be if Putin went to North Korea, and then was stuck inside? They say North Korea is inescapable. I don't know how true that is, but it would be funny if Kim Jong Un was just like Ariel Castro, like "GOTCHA BITCH!"
Except unlike Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight, I won't feel sorry for the captive.
3I had to reread that, because I thought Knight Rider had been trapped in North Korea.

This another 'war is days from being over, Russia on verge of defeat,' propaganda piece?
In 2 years we've had 'Putin nearly dead,' 'fighting with WWII shovels,' 'Russia out of weapons,' 'using WWII equipment and tanks,' 'lost 87% of troops,' 'sanctioned killed their economy' This list is endless.
-28There has never been a shortage of quality equipment for elite units but in the early stages of the conscription people where issued everything stored in bunkers and depots at hand including personal weapons from late WWII/early Cold War.
And if you look at confirmed vehicle losses there is a clear trend towards older and older albeit to various degrees modernized platforms. So yeah, Russia IS running out of modern weapons for the average unit in the field.
The issue at hand though is the longer the conflict draggs on the more Russia is able to adapt. Evading sanctions by laundering oil in India. Importing vital electronic components through China. And now securing more ammo in North Korea. Which btw the west is doing in South Korea and other places around the world as well.
12Lmfao i mean when you cherry pick the shit ones it sounds crazy but..
Russia genuinely had soldiers with cosplay tier helmets and body armor, Russia genuinely had a coup attempt, Russia genuinely is using equipment they pulled out of museums literally go look at the turtle tank that was captured, Russian economy is doing very bad and Russia does have more casualties than Ukraine.
War was supposed to be a special weekend operation, and look where we are.
Russia is losing bro lmfao
7Yeah this sounds weird I thought Russia was producing ammo at like 10 times the rate of all of NATO combined
6The amount of artillery shells being used is astronomical. Paired with a low production capacity in the west as a baseline, it is not unimaginable that the ongoing demand outweighs production.

Dont forget that putin has AIDS and cancer and secretly is dying this week at any moment
