Ukrainian officials expect a counteroffensive in western Russia to begin in the coming days as North Korea’s troops train with Russian forces.
-snip-
The Russian military has assembled a force of 50,000 soldiers, including North Korean troops, as it prepares to begin an assault aimed at reclaiming territory seized by Ukraine in the Kursk region of Russia, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials.

North Korea has sent more than 10,000 troops to fight with Russia in Kursk, American officials say. The troops are wearing Russian uniforms and have been equipped by Moscow, but they will probably fight in their own discrete units, U.S. defense officials said.
Ukrainian officials said Moscow had supplied the North Korean forces with machine guns, sniper rifles, antitank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades.
Russia has been training the North Koreans in artillery fire, basic infantry tactics and, critically, trench clearing, American officials said. That training suggests that at least some of the North Korean forces will be involved in frontal assaults on Ukraine’s dug-in defensive positions.

A Ukrainian official said the North Korean forces had been divided into two groups, an assault unit and a support unit, which will help provide security inside the territory recaptured from Ukrainian forces.

The Ukrainian invaders are about to die!
So far there are reported to be about 7000 KIA on the Russian side in Kursk and 30,000 KIA on the Ukrainian side. Which is a bit better for the Ukrainians than the overall average of a 6:1 ratio.
If we play our cards right, perhaps we could exile our rabid leftists to the freshly depopulated Ukraine?
Better yet, let them self-exile!
You Putinista boys are crazy. Russia invaded. Russia wanted war for fake Tsar Putin to be in the history books. As the Redeemer of Mother Russia. What a joke, with so many Russians getting killed and maimed for life in Ukraine.
When in history has Ukraine ever invaded Russia? It is always partly Mongol blooded Russians invading Ukraine. Partly over jealousy that Ukrainians are more European blooded than Russians. Ukrainians are higher-IQ too. They were responsible for much of Russia’s defense industries during the Cold War.
The Nork military is most assuredly not “well fed”. Certainly not to a point that their soldiers have chubby faces.
Hunter Biden began getting income in Ukraine in 2013.It is a thing a beauty that comment on stories such as these sometimes argue history -- the above goes back to the Bidens in Ukraine in 2013 -- and sometimes with Twitter graphics, and sometimes with misdirection.Analysis of Hunter Biden's hard drive shows he, his firm took in about $11 million from 2013 to 2018, spent it fast NBC News, 19 May 2022
" 'Between 2016 and Oct. 15, 2020, the defendant spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes,' he [ Weiss ] added."
Hunter Biden Charged With Evading Taxes on Millions From Foreign Firms NY Times, 7 December 2023
"Former President Barack Obama's administration ignored 'glaring warning signs' when then-Vice President Joe Biden's son joined the board of a Ukrainian energy company owned by a corrupt oligarch, according to a report released by Republican senators on Wednesday. Hunter Biden's position with the Burisma natural-gas firm — which paid him 'as much as $50,000 per month' — 'created an immediate potential conflict of interest' because his dad, now President Trump's Democratic opponent in the Nov. 3 election, was involved in US policy toward Ukraine, the report says."

"Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden flatly denied at Tuesday night's debate that his lawyer son took huge sums of money from corrupt oligarchs and Chinese communists during his vice presidency, but Treasury Department reports show that Hunter Biden did receive the money."

One can source back the Pelosi, Kerry and Romney family and friends operating in Ukraine from 2013. Perhaps detailing that would help some perspective.
What is certain is that war is horrid for most -- excepting the war materiel manufacturers. What is also certain that this has interesting back stories of corruption and American politicians' involvement from 2013 which the current media wish we would forget.
What's Hunter doink?
Maybe another unsourced graphic would help.....

Meanwhile the US Debt clock races towards $36 trillion USD as this nation flounders under unsustainable spending.
US Debt Clock $35.987 trillion in the moment.It is assured that those who throw around "Putinista boys" and the like are economically uninformed. Maybe yet more billions for the Zelensky government will make them feel better. Liberally better.
Yet another Ukraine thread has devolved into mindless “football hooligan” lobbing of insults and “my Ukrainians are gonna whup your Russians” vs “my Russians are gonna whup your Ukrainians”. Okay, waste of bandwidth, none of the thoughtful discussion for which some of us prized FR.
But here you have crossed a line. I don’t care whether it’s a Ukrainian city or a Russian city — exulting in death and destruction is beyond disgusting. It’s plain evil. Shame on you. Stop embarrassing us and FR. Just stop. This is a Christian site.

That's assuming you believe the numbers coming out of Washington and the media. There's so much lying coming out of both sides that I don't know who to believe.
