Kim Jong Un stops to see a fighter jet factory in Russia

The city and the factory are on the southwestern shore of Lake Baikal. The aircraft plant was built during WWII to place it out of reach of the Germans. There is a large hydroelectric dam immediately adjacent that actually raises the level of Lake Baikal above its natural elevation.

Putin February 2022: "I rule a superpower that will conquer Ukraine in days and re-establish the Russian empire in all its glory! Bow before me in fear, Western world!"

Putin September 2023: "OK, everybody listen up! Everything needs to be perfect for Kim's visit because if we are going to be able to hold onto the remaining 16% of Ukraine that we still have.....(aide whispers in ear)......14% of Ukraine that we still have we are going to need his help. Mmmmmkay? Everybody got that? No questions or....anything.....? OK great, thanks a lot team, and if you can work in subtle hints about us being willing to give him anything he wants in exchange for artillery shells without being, you know like too obvious about it then that would be um like much appreciated. Thanks, toodles."

only said In your imagination. Putin nor his generals have ever given a timeline or declared in terms of territory, what they want in victory. However, looking at the defensive lines they have made.... And the static battle lines since November. The smart money would be on pretty much where they are now.

Yup, that confusion on their part has been apparent since day one.

However, looking at the defensive lines they have made....

Yup, it really says something about how well an invasion is going when your main accomplishment is building defensive lines just a few miles from where you started out at.

And the static battle lines since November. 

Yes, the Russian winter offensive was pretty static. Been getting a lot more movement as of late though.

The smart money would be on pretty much where they are now.

The smart money is, as always, on Russia losing. Because it sucks at this.

If you ever wanted to know what one of the most pathologically dullest men in the world does on his first trip out of the country for years, now you know.

What a tiny man.

All you’d need would be Xi in the same picture to complete the “Trinity of Evil”. Unfortunate that they’re all nearby neighbors. I’d be in support of a small scale targeted nuke gps coordinated to the camera when it clicks.

Weird, I thought the SMO wasn't about territory. You have claimed in the past that Russia doesn't want territory, has no intention of staying in Ukraine. It's not even an invasion according to you.

Do you think that Putin may have lied to you yet again? You must be angry with him for putting you in a position where you look a bit silly for repeating his claims, only for them to be proven as lies yet again.

Not we just need to get you to claim that 2014 lines minus Crimea were the objective all along and you will be all caught up with reality.

the U.S. accused North Korea of providing ammunition, artillery shells and rockets to Russia, likely much of them copies of Soviet-era munitions. 

as a sovereign country, NK is free to support Russia

Very good!!! NK needs to be prepared against the Japanese threat to protect its sovereignty.

Yes the dreaded Japan with a pacifist constitution.

the U.S. accused North Korea of providing ammunition, artillery shells and rockets to Russia, likely much of them copies of Soviet-era munitions. 

as a sovereign country, NK is free to support Russia

And Russia, as a UNSC member with a veto no less, is supposed to be bound by the sanctions passed by it.

Question #1: Did Kim actually get anything other than the minimum payment for the ammo.

Question #2: Did Kim offer up any of NK elite soldiers to be used as cannon fodder and ground up by the Ukrainian war machine?

Question #2A: If so, will they be fighting alongside the Cuban and South American soldiers that Russia smuggled into the war?

Question #3: Did Kim sell Putin some of his Cobra Commander/GI Joe secret weapons?

indigo,

sure about that?

Maybe you know more than others do?

Japan threatening NK? Now wouldn't that be something?

And all Kim will get from PUTAin is promises, as always!

Because PUTAin never keeps what he promises, as history has shown!

Ukraine prevails!

Rainyday...

Yup, it really says something about how well an invasion is going when your main accomplishment is building defensive lines just a few miles from where you started out at.

Take a look at the Ukraine map. The Russian speaking industrial east is now Russia as is the south. Ukraine is now an agricultural state with one port..... just a few miles...LOL

clippity...

Sorry, you must be confusing me with someone else. The Minsk agreement would have left Ukraine whole but NATO and Ukrainian nationalists decided to break that agreement. Russia is not leaving the 4 Oblasts it has claimed.

To be honest, I don't read your nonsense.No article, no comments. But I paid attention to the word Baikal. Which Baikal are we talking about? The plant Kim visited is located in the Khabarovsky Kray, Baikal is in Buryatia. From Baikal to Komsomolsk on Amur in a straight line 2300 km, and on the highway - 3700, according to you - 2000 miles. In truth, geography is an incomprehensible science for you. This is Russia, baby!

Look, after all, at the map before you rant, you can find it on the net:))))

10 updates.. What for you are voting??? Oh, my lord! stupid stupidity

If I was Kim, I'd be nervous going anywhere that Russian jets are conglomerated right now. They seem to have a nasty habit of having explosive drones fall out of the sky on them recently for some reason.

Take a look at the Ukraine map. The Russian speaking industrial east is now Russia as is the south. Ukraine is now an agricultural state with one port..... just a few miles...LOL

Yup, look at that map! I have been enjoying watching that bit of Russian territory on it get smaller and smaller and smaller almost as much as I’ve enjoyed seeing the Russian army and Black Sea fleet being destroyed.

You're looking at the wrong map. Although geography is not your strong point . Local government elections were held on September 8-10 on the territory of the four regions that became part of Russia. The voter turnout in these regions was significantly higher than in other regions of Russia. If you watch the videos taken during the elections, it is clear that people are happy. Those who are not happy with Russia, they simply did not voted.

Those who are not happy with Russia, they simply disappeared.

Question #1: Did Kim actually get anything other than the minimum payment for the ammo

The expectation is that DPRK will now have access to Russian missile and rocket motor technology as well as be able to buy some of Russia's better military hardware.

Which Baikal are we talking about? 

Sorry. I confused it with the Irkutsk Aviation Plant and hydroelectric dam on the Angara River.
