WASHINGTON — North Korea has delivered thousands of weapons and other military equipment to Russia for use in Moscow’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, US officials said Friday.

“Our information indicates that in recent weeks, North Korea has provided Russia with more than 1,000 containers of military equipment and munitions,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters on a call.

It’s unclear exactly how much materiel and munitions each container holds, but photos released Friday indicate the vessels are full-sized shipping containers of the type often seen on rail cars or cargo ships.

How far Russia has fallen if THEY have to get munitions from North Korea. Some "superpower" -- relying on a third world failed nation for support.

What's joe diapers to do?

As usual, find a way to screw things up...

“North Korea has shipped thousands of weapons to Russia: White House”

So has Biden, via Ukraine. So what’s the point here?

If the White House says it it probably is something that probably isn’t true or they have a motive for bringing this up now.

Gee, I wonder what?

Unlike the USA and its parasitic “allies”, Russia’s “low tech” allies can actually produce weapons on their own.

You are under the impression that American allies don’t make weapons and some of the best and most advanced on earth?

Is there any nation on earth that wouldn’t prefer the weapons made by American allies to Russian allies?

Depends if they want them now, rather than promises for the future that will never happen.

These “allies” are decadent clowns.

You ignored my correction to what you said.

Vegetable Head Joe has to demonize Russia and its Allies. You can see this with demonizing China, Iran, the Norkies, the Chechnyans, the African nations supporting Vlad, etc…..standard playbook.

That said, the entire collective West is supplying the Ukies with money and arms, and lots of each. All okay when the entire West does it, but when a few nations supply Vlad it’s a crime? ….I love the hypocrisy.

They promise and never produce. Just like their promises of defence spending.

The USA is pulling a wagon full of parasites.

Here is just one of our allies, would Russia prefer these weapons to what they can get from their allies?

“According to Morgan Stanley, South Korea has become a major exporter of military and defense equipment and supplies, with 2022 exports totaling 22.9 trillion South Korean won ($17.9 billion). That’s more than double the figure of 9.5 trillion won in 2021.

“Rising demand from Europe and Asia for Korean manufacturers to provide military/defense equipment, including tanks, artillery, and airplanes, are pushing up export volumes,” said bank’s second half outlook investment report on South Korea.

Some notable weapons systems out from South Korea’s defense industry include the K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzer from Hanhwa, the K2 main battle tank from Hyundai Rotem, and the FA-50 light attack aircraft, manufactured by Korea Aerospace Industries.”

Yes, many. 45 countries, they get much, much more “ bang” for their bucks. India and China comes to mind…..many more:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/9/infographic-which-countries-buy-the-most-russian-weapons

…after the Ukies Patriot missile debacle, we haven’t heard much more about the glorious Patriots.( fail). Of course we won’t mention Poland, ( tons of Russian equipment even when in NATO) or the countless other TCN’s.

Hint: You really need to pull up what the Ukie soldiers say about our Bradley’s M113’s and Strykers….they didn’t name the Zaparhoznia salient “ Bradley Square” for their stellar performance.

Korea is an ally. They are not in NATO.

They are also one of the few industrialized countries that retain a manufacturing base.

What’s happening right now is all the NATO clowns like Germany, Canada and all the rest of them are backtracking on promised defence spending and defence production increases, just like they did after 2014.
