Russian military operation in Ukraine #64

We live in crazy times. North Korea has invested a large part of its potential in the development of ballistic missile weapons, similarly to Iran. Which provides them with adequate deterrence even against the US. Of course, not like in the case of Russia and China. I wonder who supplied them with technology. North Korea's leap is gigantic, it seems that they have better developed missile technology than India. In my opinion, they are behind Russia and China. I doubt that they received all this in Ukraine. Many solutions are quite new. I wonder if by any chance China or Russia did not also provide them with some technology? In the case of South Korea, Russia helped them develop their missile technology, but it is generally open. North Korea is working on advanced RVs, hypersonics, they have TEL carriers, mobile shock ICBMs, small SLBMs. This requires a huge industrial base, which in the past only very developed countries could afford.

I remember 2015 and the Minsk agreement. Everyone was aware that the West would not abide by the agreement, except Putin. Sometimes you can wonder what kind of advisors he had or has. Anyone who is a bit involved in geopolitics knew that the West would once again deceive Russia.
These were very strange actions of Russia. After a year or two it was known that Minsk was an illusion and a big mistake of Putin or his advisors.
And after only a few months from the first agreement, Ukraine tried to change the situation by force. Then, for 8 years, the West armed Ukraine and prepared fortifications.

First, you are linking something that can be clearly considered as a war crime documentary.
Now, mutilated bodies.
Are you on high or something?

Putin: The previous generation of politicians went to destroy the country, by Daria Grigorenko for VZGLYAD. 12.22.2024.

Putin: Russia has passed the period when previous politicians went to destroy the country.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an interview with VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin, stated that the previous generation of Russian politicians went to destroy the country in order to join the so-called civilized world.

"We have passed through a period in modern history when our previous generation of politicians, in my opinion, even went so far as to destroy their own country in the hope that Russia would become part of the so-called civilized world. And this is all that this civilized world needed," Putin said. According to him, "as soon as Russia's potential was reduced, it weakened, and they began to finish it off, instead of making it an equal partner and participant in this civilized world," TASS reports

"Unfortunately, this is how the world works, at least today. And if we build relations with someone, we will build them only on the basis of the interests of the Russian state," the president emphasized, speaking about the possibility of normalizing relations between the Russian Federation and the West.

Earlier, Putin stressed that there is no need to frighten people with the threat of a third world war.

On Thursday, Marine Le Pen, the leader of the right-wing National Rally party in the French parliament, said that the West is pushing Kiev into a war where victory is impossible without NATO.

The Kremlin has confirmed Russian President Vladimir Putin's readiness to contact US President-elect Donald Trump after the election. Trump himself has announced his intention to begin talks with Putin and Ukrainian representatives to resolve the current conflict in Ukraine.
