🇺🇸🇺🇦 "Current American strategy is not working well."
▪️ "The conflict is developing into a war of attrition, and...that favors Russia. Moscow has more people, more resources and more territory than Ukraine."
▪️ "Worse, Ukrainian forces can make progress only by attacking prepared Russian defenses. If you are in a war of attrition but you have to keep hurling your forces at well-entrenched, well-defended enemy positions, you will burn through your reserves faster than your opponent."
▪️”If Americans conclude that Mr. Biden’s Ukraine strategy will produce what political scientist Max Abrams calls a forever war with a side order of nation building, support for Mr. Biden’s war policy is likely to collapse well before Russia throws in the towel."

🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦 Slowly by slowly realism steps back in. 'The West must prepare for humiliation' - Richard
🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦 “Now, polls in both Europe and the US show public support for military aid to Kyiv dropping away, with one recent survey indicating that less than 50 per cent of Americans are in favour of additional funding. This at least partially reflects sluggish progress in Ukraine’s counter-offensive, which has seen only limited gains so far.
Western military analysts and the media built expectations that, this summer, Kyiv would repeat its striking victories of last autumn at Kharkiv and Kherson. Now, people are wondering how much bang they are getting for their buck, and whether the significant investment made by their countries will ever achieve anything concrete.”

🇰🇵🇷🇺 North Korea has officially confirmed Kim Jong-un's visit to Russia.
The leader of the DPRK traveled to our country on the famous armored train.
In Vladivostok he will meet with Putin, who arrived in the Far East by plane today.
The meeting is expected to seriously expand Russian-Korean economic and military-technical cooperation.
What interests us:
1. Ammunition and deployment of the North Korean military-industrial complex.
2. Development and strengthening of trade relations, as well as access to the North Korean domestic market.
3. North Korean pressure on South Korea to limit arms supplies to Europe in the interests of the war in Ukraine.
What interests them:
1. Admission of North Korean workers to work in the Far East.
2. Russia’s profanation of UN sanctions against the DPRK.
3. Access to modern military technologies.
For those who loved to make fun of North Korea, these are difficult times. The Juche Songun ideology is based on the principle of “self-reliant development.” For Russia, after acquiring full military-political and economic subjectivity, this is a more than urgent issue.
