"Russia's Foreign Relations in Last Chance Saloon?" Topic

Having to cozy up to NK is pretty much an admission that they have nowhere else to turn!

Somehow I am not surprised.

Though considering the state of NK economy, they probably are not able to contribute much material help. Even asking for "volunteers" to Ukraine might not work too well…

There has been previous chat about NK having large weapon and ammunition stocks. Not entirely sure I'd want to buy artillery shells that have been sitting a bunker just outside the DMZ for a couple of decades!

Maybe Putin should reclassify some of those burly, manly, security police he's had rounding up demonstrators as soldiers. I'm sure those placard grabbers have been aching for a chance to go be bullet stoppers.

I saw a YouTube video that suggested the Belorussian railway workers were dragging their feet and engaging in some light sabotage re trains routing from Russia, bound for Ukraine.

Maybe that's why we've seen so little from the Belorussian military. If they arm and deploy there's no telling what, if anything, they might do. Mass desertion?

I wonder how much ammunition and ordnance the Russians have?

Supposedly, there was some conjecture on a FB post that things were rather dire, since a late-model, naval missile/cruise missile was used in at least one attack (a Sizzler, or something named like that).

If Putin can get the NK to attack the South…
