What a sad state your country must be in to take weapons from fucking North Korea. That's like getting a busted slingshot from the kid who eats his own boogers.

Or maybe

Maybe

Maybe

It didn’t actually happen because NK doesn’t have the facilities to manufacture meaningful levels of weapons to one of the greatest military powers in the world right now

Could be western propaganda who knows

TachyonTele ,

Because everyone should trust what this lady says, right?

No. Because North Korean is fucking poor. Their military shit is from the 50's. I'd be very much surprised if they actually provided anything to Russia other than old Soviet era weapons.

A simple explosive shell from the 50s and one made today are not that different. It gets launched and goes boom, doesn't take a genius to manufacture

You mean... Like Russia? I'm not joking... I'm being 100% serious.

Wasn't shrapnel found with NK markings? Yeah sure that could be planted if we reach far. Meh everything is conspicuous propaganda in these post-truth times

bits of ballistic missiles with NK markings and there's some complaining by russians about low accuracy of NK 152mm propellant charges (variable amount of propellant, sometimes missing decoppering wire, decomposition etc)

Yes sure and all the increased train traffic that the satellites are recording are just empty trains

A country that devotes most of its budget to the military is certainly unable to make ammunitions.

Go to watch the recording of their military parades to see how many weapons they're showing.

They're not just parading with a sad little tank from the 40s like that "greatest military power in the world"

NK manufactures and stores empty artillery shells and fills them as needed, because scaling up manufacture of filling plant is easy but scaling up steelworks is hard. This way shell forged in 70s but filled in 2023 is still pretty useful

Lol, wait... Russia is "one of the greatest superpowers in the world right now"?

Are you for real? Russia is a paper tiger. Yes, they do have nukes... But let's not blow air up their asshole.

But let’s not blow air up [Russia's] asshole.

That seems to be the favorite pastime of a concerning number of people on here, though.

Russia

Greatest military power in the world

Lmfao Russia isn't even the greatest military power in Ukraine.

I dont blame Russia though, I'd also buy anything vaguely pointy from North Korea if local farmers towed away half my tanks with their tractors

Yeah, remember how they rolled over the Ukrainian military and took Kyiv in two weeks like Putin said they would?

North Korea is such a let down for humanity, a sad disappointment. They'd be so much better off if they worked together with the world. I firmly believe the US military has a complete view of their imports/exports through spy satellites.

let down for humanity

My brother in christ, have you seen what we’ve done to the Palestinians?

In 2024 if you’re not a misanthrope you’re naive.

She added that the recently tested weapons are designed to attack Seoul, the South Korean capital

What a great neighbourhood to be in

robocall OP ,
@robocall@lemmy.world avatar

Is there any incentive for her to say NK did supply weapons to Russia?

boredtortoise ,

Almost all politicians lie but what's the deal with a certain subsection of them doing the bit so blatantly?

jeffw ,

Well, if she said it, it MUST be true!
