The end?

I hope nothing comes of this North Korea sending troops to Russia as things could escalate quickly. They have already blown up roads leading to South Korea in the past few days and seems to be on a war path. What worries me is if a war breaks out between North and South Korea(I believe officially they are still at war? So reignite would probably be a better description) with South Korea helping Ukraine in a larger capacity then China could get involved as North Korea is China's only official alliance. The US have been looking for an excuse to bump heads with China for a while now. It all seems to be getting very messy. That's without North Korea doing something crazy like officially declaring war on Ukraine if NK troops are killed in the Russian war.
It’s all very volatile but hard to weigh up.

I don’t think the US is capable of bumping heads with anyone but themselves at the moment. I don’t think there has been a more fractured society there since the 60s.

And China may be huge geographically and as a population, but their economy is tanking and India have repeatedly beaten them back militarily.

Strange times.

I think China is more likely to slap Kim down if he try's to start trouble in the region - the tail should not wag the Panda - & I think it would become quickly known to Kim & his sycophants that it's only NK's own people they can beat down upon - no dragging the peninsula into conflict.. esp not one of China's choosing..
 
I think he is saying to Macron, ‘all I did was give Brigitte a gentle squeeze to check they were real given the past rumours’

It isn’t in China’s interest to fall out with uncle Sam and vice verca, too many vested interests.

Actually it's Europe that China needs to stay onside with. We're their biggest market ... and their economy is in a fragile state.

According to my mate, the boots on the ground response would most likely come if the NK troops were deployed in Ukraine. But he thinks they will be sent to Kursk. It was discussed at length this week, in EU and in NATO.

Expect a missive later today.
 
This made me smile.

Lions stolen from Mariupol reportedly killed a Russian woman in occupied Crimea, according to Russian media. The woman, who was the manager of the local "Taigan" park, entered the enclosure to clean up after the animals. Her body was later found inside the cage.

It shouldn’t really, but Ruzzians and Vatniks, **** em
