50,000 Russian and North Korean Troops Mass Ahead of Attack, U.S. Says
NY Times ^ | 11/10/2024 | By Julian E. BarnesEric Schmitt and Michael Schwirtz

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.

-snip-

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.

-snip-

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.

BTW - Who started this war???

Russia would not have needed to invade the not so peaceful country of Ukraine if Neocons John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Senator Amy Klobuchar had not set Ukraine up as bait to goad President Putin into fighting back.

Our Deep State planned the fighting, orchestrated by Victoria Nuland for years, but President Trump stopped it when he got into office.   That is why they had to cheat to get President Trump out of office so they could restart it again six years later.

US senators praise Ukrainian marines, slam Putin

By David M. Herszenhorn

“I admire the fact that you will fight for your homeland,” Graham told Ukraine’s 36th Separate Marine Brigade (Nazi Azov Brigade) in the town of Shyrokyne, about four kilometers from the line of contact, according to a video released Monday by the Ukrainian presidency.

“Your fight is our fight,” Graham said during the visit on Saturday alongside President Petro Poroshenko. “2017 will be the year of offense,” he continued. “All of us will go back to Washington and we will push the case against Russia. Enough of a Russian aggression. It is time for them to pay a heavier price. Our fight is not with the Russian people but with Putin. Our promise to you is to take your cause to Washington, inform the American people of your bravery and make the case against Putin to the world.”

McCain, a former Republican presidential candidate and prisoner of war in Vietnam, said: “I believe you will win. I am convinced you will win and we will do everything we can to provide you with what you need to win. We have succeeded not because of equipment but because of your courage. So I thank you and the world is watching and the world is watching because we cannot allow Vladimir Putin to succeed here because if he succeeds here, he will succeed in other countries.”

Graham, McCain and Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, traveled throughout the former Soviet Union in recent days in an effort to reassure U.S. allies, particularly in the Baltics, that Congress remained committed to NATO and to protecting members of the Transatlantic alliance from Russian aggression.

A peace agreement brokered by Germany and France, called the Minsk 2 accord, has never been implemented and, though fighting and casualties have subsided, clashes continue on a constant basis.

Trump has expressed a desire to improve relations with Russia and praised Putin’s decision last week not to respond to a new round of sanctions imposed by the Obama administration over Russia’s alleged computer hacking and interference in the U.S. presidential election.

This whole Proxy war was at our instigation.

Again you dimwitted people are ignorant of the realities. I take no joy in admitting the truth, but I have an obligation to do so, because the truth is important, always.

Just as I will not take the lying by our leaders, from both political parties, I will not tolerate your stupidity either.

You might try it sometime. Fight against the lies. Problem is, you can distinguish the lies from the truth, because you blindly listen to those very same people who are trying to destroy this nation to usher her into a One World Government, because you are unable to think for yourselves, and do not want to believe what you wrongly assume are nothing more than irrational people uttering ridiculous conspiracy theories, apparently. Because you won't even believe your own eyes.

Those you are now supporting, are the same ones we have been trying to defeat for decades now, but you still refuse to see the truth.

Is it because you actually profit handsomely off of these perpetual wars?

We Putinista boys, as you so inaccurately label us as being, are actually warriors for the Lord who are tired of these endless useless wars that would have been solved without any bloodshed whatsoever if we had acted in good faith to diplomatically resolve this conflict. But the political arm of the military-industrial complex war machine saw a huge monetary opportunities to be had with a proxy war between Ukraine & Russia, and then making Ukraine a vassal state of the U.S., just as they have done to Europe since the end of WWII. which is why they blindly follow us into war, even though Afghanistan & Iraq had nothing to do with Europe, other than proximity to the Middle East.

MalPearce, are you so ignorant that you do not even see what has been done to Europe? As, the U.S. corrupt leadership has turned more tyrannical in nature, so has all of Europe's leadership. Heck, even British Bobbies are more likely to show up at your door and arresting you, for speaking the truth about your welcomed-in invaders on the internet, than they are to arrest then for actual crimes, like the groomers destroying the young British girls who for many years were ignored. Who do you think made them that way MalPearce? Start using your brain for critical thinking instead of ear separators. They have even brought in Middle Eastern men because there are no real men left in Europe, or so few as to not even register anymore. One of the few is Tommy Robinson who they continually throw in jail.

Which is why your men are so easily led around by their noses.

---- "A Russian state media outlet has sparked outrage for airing Melania Trump's nude photographs on live television."

And yet again "little mark" shows himself to be all to-o-o-o clever. This is old news, as proof with citations shows:

"Melania Trump posed nude in a photo spread for a French adult magazine in 1995, and now, more than two decades later, the revealing shots have resurfaced in the New York Post."

Melania Trump's Nude Modeling Pictures Surface: ‘Nothing to Be Embarrassed About,’ Says Donald Trump Adviser US Magazine, 31 July 2016

From the NY Post, itself.

Melania Trump like you've never seen her before NY Post, 30 July 2016

And mentioned still by Twitter/X and as posted to Twitter by NY Post:

Today's cover: Melania Trump like you've never seen her before

So the REAL story -- pushed by an Australian media company -- is that this OLD STORY is made new, because some Russian station posted pictures which have been posted in 1995 and thereafter in France, in the US and even on Elon Musk's X (since the post has not been removed).

See how the game works? Make old, when one thinks the public has forgotten, new again.

If Pelosi had run the scam, it would be called the "wrap up smear." Since "little mark" and some media in Australia are shrieking now, that photo spread in 1995 in France is now a Russian media scandal. Never mind about the NY Post and Twitter/X.....

That is true, but I tend to believe the number of dead and wounded Russians are closer to Ukraine numbers than Russian MOD

There are other reasons but I will leave it at that

Sadly, Putin doesn’t even care about his own more distant couontrymen as much as do some of our neighbors and FRiends.
