@@andresausecha9553 ⁠Someone has a low IQ and didn’t pay attention in math class. Russia’s entire budget for 2025 is 445 billion with an astronomical 145 million dedicated toward the war in Ukraine. Thirty percent is the highest since the Cold War we all know what happened then. Also, Russia is spending ten percent of GDP which is pretty insane. Not only that but these numbers are diluted because well that’s what authoritarian regimes do division heads hide the reality to keep putin and his simps from behaving irrationally.

Stopp this North Korea nonsense. This claim came initially from Budanov, the head of ukranian intelligence and there is no proof of that anywhere. It makes absolutly no sense to assume that those troops would ever be used to fight against Ukraine and the internationalisation of the conflict is the only hope of Ukraine, keep that in mind. First, there are no troops needed for help as we see on the frontline and even if, they would ask belorussia for a division, not North Korea. Second, its the completly wrong theatre, north korean troops would be used in the pacific theatre. Third, it takes months of mutual training and cooperation to even think about involving a foreign speaking division into a complex offensive operation of the army. Everybody falls into this bogus and expose the lack of knowledge of many socalled experts.

In 1945 it marched to Vienna and Berlin and took Berlin in April 1945. Now it will march to the Dnepr and liberate Zaparozhe and Dneprpetrovsk and Odessa, but will it march all the way to Moldova and even Warsaw and punish the Baltics? That will be the question. Donetsk Oblast will be liberated by XMAS and Zaparozhe by January latest. The Dnepr will be reached in April and Odessa freed in May..but what then. Will NATO still aggress ?
