President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that it was Russia's business whether or not it decided to use North Korean troops and said that if Ukraine wanted to join NATO then Moscow could do what it wanted to ensure its own security.

The United States said on Wednesday that it had seen evidence that North Korea has sent 3,000 troops to Russia for possible deployment in Ukraine, a move that the West is casting as a significant escalation of the Ukraine war.

Ukraine's military intelligence service said that the first North Korean units trained in Russia had been deployed in the Kursk region, a Russian border area where Ukrainian forces took a chunk of Russian land in August.

It’s not media: In International Relations circles nobody believed Russia would attack Ukraine even when they were doing it.

That is a complete joke. US provoked war with no other option for Russia. The US risks collapse if you can't walk out whatever bubble made you say that absurdity.

If we managed that, then we are amazing. Triggering a war that guarantees the utter destruction, nay, desolation of your enemy?

That's the ultimate foreign relations coup.

We don't have that kind of skill, thankfully our opponent is a moron.

Wait? How?

We're ... comfortable. We aren't dying in mud for someone else's fight. We wrote a few checks, sent some old gear.

We just get to sit back and watch friendly things like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihVkpbXu3Qo

Think about it this way: 60% of Americans don't give the slightest shit about Russia either way, and they're still getting brutally fucked to death :)
