As the war in Ukraine lurches toward the 200-day mark, Russia is turning to global pariah state North Korea to purchase Soviet-era weapons, according to a newly declassified U.S. intelligence report.

Moscow is preparing to buy “millions of rockets and artillery shells” from Pyongyang, a U.S. official told The Washington Post on Tuesday, speaking on the condition of anonymity about the declassified intelligence, which was first reported by the New York Times.

The move by Russia’s Defense Ministry indicates that “the Russian military continues to suffer from severe supply shortages in Ukraine, due in part to export controls and sanctions,” the official said. “We expect Russia could try to purchase additional North Korean military equipment going forward.”

Already bunked.

Both WaPo and NYT have long been proven about as accurate as a broken clock.

Any longstanding FR members knows this.
And yet, bots don’t.

Thanks to Senile Joey, the Occupy White puppet, those weapons are probably the ones he left in Afghanistan.

“Ever used a keyword search before?”

What keyword should they use to find the debunk article?

I tried debunk and found White Privilege debunk, Facebook plans to flag and debunk, Hydroxychloroquine debunked, Flat earth etc etc. I did not see an article debunking Russia buying weapons from North Korea.

I tried Russia and did not find an article debunking.

I also tried North Korea with no luck.

Do you have a link to that debunking article?

I do not think North Korea would sell any surplus if they are really planning to invade South Korea.

Who do I believe less— the Bezos Blog or the Deep State apparatchiks in DC?

They both have zero credibility.

Sounds like an anonymous source via the Washington Post.

If it’s declassified, why can’t this anonymous official go on the record?

The fact the official quoted is still staying anonymous about DECLASSIFIED intelligence.

That’s damning enough.
