U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday there is evidence that North Korea has sent troops to Russia, as South Korea’s spy chief told lawmakers that 3,000 North Korean troops are in the country receiving training on drones and other equipment before being deployed to battlefields in Ukraine. Speaking to reporters during a visit to Rome, Austin said “What exactly they are doing? Left to be seen. These are things that we need to sort out,” according to a video posted by the Washington Post.

Why would North Korea send troops to Russia? Russia doesn't need them. According to Wikipedia, Russia has approximately 1.5 million active military personnel and 2 million reservists. Would they be there to invade Ukraine? Hardly. Russia doesn't need any help in that conflict. This sounds like more BS from our own government in order to gin up support for our entry into WW3. Our country doesn't need that now or ever.

Why don’t we in the US mind our own business and let the world sort out their own problems? We are no longer the good guys in the world, helping the little guys. Endless wars and conflicts only pick the US taxpayers’ pockets and never achieve a peaceful resolution…ever. (Exception, WW2) Let’s put our efforts into cleaning up our own disastrous mess, and ridding our nation of the enemy within.

Your numbers are all off base, #2. Russia has lost about 700,000 troops killed or wounded so far, and is having trouble filling recruiting quotas. These NorKs would be welcomed cannon fodder to reduce the flow of coffins back home to Russian mothers. Putin is afraid to order a full mobilization, which would be politically unpopular. Also, contract troops can legally only be used inside the borders of Russia, by law. This is why Putin wrote a law claiming two SE Ukrainian provinces as "officially part of Russia".....so, contract troops could legally be sent to fight there.

Nice information #5. What a bloody mess it is in Ukraine. I have read the Russians have mobile crematoriums right near the battle fields. Sounds totally gruesome. Now the Russians will have to replace the vodka with soju and beer.

The Russians are buying missles from the Norks. Norks are there to run them. More Norks are in the Ukraine in a "troops for food" exchange. The floods that hit china didn't just hit China. The Norks are starving.

Farcical! Talk about shoveling excrement onto the mushrooms. And as far as casualties, give me a break. Any numbers are just being dragged out of fundamental orifices just to paper over the complete disaster that is Ukraine and NATO's policy. UK says 465K Russian casualties, Politico 600K Ukraine says 470K and #5 wins with 700K. Z must be doing great, let's give him more of our money. Rearrange these words into a well-known phrase or saying: "Off Eff!"

Putin wanted more soldiers, North Korea needed some more money. Putin just used his oil money to rent a few thousand extra NK soldiers for his Ukraine adventures. They are expendable and they are probably happy to get out of NK. If Zelensky were smart, he would offer them all asylum in Ukraine if they surrender.

Simple: Kim is selling slaves to Putin. This eliminates thousands of mouths he has to feed, puts much needed money in his pocket, and provides Putin with meat to throw at the Ukrainians.

Why would the NORKS send troops to Ukraine? The reasons mentioned above are all reasonable. However, unless a nation has something like the National Training Center out at Ft. Irwin with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment as the opposition force against which to train, the only way to get invaluable combat experience is to go into combat. The NORKS have never given up on the idea of uniting the Korean peninsula under the rule of the Kims. . . with the use of force if necessary. Vietnam vet, 11th Armored Cav, 1967, Purple Heart. Allons!

Kamala Harris’ Favorability Plummets
Two Weeks Before Election Day

With Election Day less than two weeks away, Americans are souring on Vice President Kamala Harris in the final stretch of the race for the White House. According to an aggregate of favorability ratings maintained by RealClearPolitics, the Democrats’ presidential nominee has remained underwater for more than a week with unfavourability scores rising to their highest levels since the party’s August convention. Harris is now entering the last few days of the election with a net-negative favorability rating of more than 2.5 percent as of Friday afternoon.

Vice presidential candidate Tim Walz “says” he wants to destroy America — not expressly; nonetheless with perfect clarity. Walz’s mouthpiece and education guru, Brian Lozenski, actually did say it expressly. In the embedded video, Lozenski, whom Walz appointed to craft an “ethnic studies” curriculum for Minnesota children, calls for the overthrow of the United States. (Ethnic studies, despite its harmless-sounding name, is founded on critical race theory and, like CRT, is aimed at overthrowing America.)

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just delivered a win for election integrity and a blow to the Democrat rigging machine, a sign of hope not long before Election Day 2024. On Oct. 25, the Fifth Circuit Court ruling in Republican National Committee v. Wetzel reversed a former judgment and affirmed that Mississippi’s statute allowing the state to receive ballots up to five days after federal Election Day is not consistent with the Constitution or federal law. It is not even consistent with Mississippi’s own law, the ruling states!

As we've learned over the years watching tight presidential races, each state holds its own election and has its own set of rules as to how it is administered. This makes for some stark differences in, for instance, deadlines set by states for accepting absentee or mail-in ballots. Mississippi allows ballot receipt up to five days after Election Day. Until now, that is. On Friday afternoon, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision holding that ballots must be both cast and received by Election Day and that Mississippi's law is preempted by federal law.

President Biden appeared to suggest Friday that former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.) is either dead or divorced— and no longer his friend — in an apparent gaffe shortly after he told members of a Native American community that there is “nothing wrong with me.” “Thank you to Sen. Mark Kelly, a great friend — who also was married to an incredible woman who was my friend,” the 81-year-old president told the Gila River Indian Community, just south of Phoenix. Kelly, a Democratic senator from Arizona, has been married to Giffords — who is very much alive — since 2007.

While families everywhere are struggling with inflation at the grocery store, Vice President Kamala Harris continues celebrating the broken promises of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA.)

The leak of high-classified U.S. intelligence documents to the Iranian regime last week has triggered a much-needed counter-intelligence investigation to identify the source -- either a mole who has betrayed their country, or a cyber-hack. The documents, which bore Top Secret/NOFORN and compartmented intelligence headers, described U.S. satellite spying on Israeli airfields as the IDF conducted exercises believed to foreshadow a massive airstrike on Iran. The NOFORN designation means that the document cannot be shared with foreign nationals other than members of the "Five Eyes" intelligence-sharing arrangement the United States has crafted with the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.
