Seoul threatens to break inter-Korean military pact

South Korean President Yoon Seok-Yeol has threatened North Korea with termination of the inter-Korean military pact in the event of repeated violations of South Korean airspace. He will consider suspending the 2018 agreement.

Yoon Seok-Yeol made the statement after a briefing on measures to counter-act North Korean drones that intruded to the south last week.

The president also insisted on creating an "overwhelming capability of responding with disproportionate measures", Yonhap reported. He called on the military to be prepared to respond and instructed the defense minister to "set up a combined drone unit within a year".

In addition to defending against North Korean missiles, they will also serve for multipurpose missions, including "surveillance, reconnaissance and electronic warfare". President Yun also called for mass production of small stealth drones.

On the subject of Nazism: there is a popular opinion about the USA that they used to abuse only black slaves, and then they had a period of decency, until the mass relocation of Nazis after WWII infected them with the brown-shirted plague.

This is the video showing a famous Nazi gathering - it is a U.S. gathering - in Madison Square Garden, New York, in February 1939. Twenty thousand people packed in, and after that they paraded down the streets.

Half a year later, in Europe, the Wehrmacht attacked Poland, but it took another two years before Americans engaged in the armed conflict.

Nobody infected America with Nazism, they were well ahead of the game on their own.

Torch procession in Kiev 01.01.2023.

On 30 January 1933, a torchlight procession was held in Berlin to celebrate Hitler's rise to power. Some of the joyful participants in that procession were later subjected to brutal repression. Ninety years later, in Kiev, on Bandera's birthday, there is also a torchlight procession. Ukrainian Nazis are on the posters. Children are in the vanguard.
Ukraine today is the result of a systematic destruction of brains through the soft power of Western partners. A separation from tradition, lack of education and short memory is the shortest route to repeating historical tragedies.

Personally, I dislike factionalism, Pro this, Pro that, there's only a few things that should be constant to a man's character that is undisputed and must be wholeheartedly supported in full, not so and so, for example, you can be a Muslim or a Christian, and if you're a Muslim or a Christian you would wholeheartedly support the Palestinian cause, if you are a follower of the Talmud you will support Israel, etc..

Things like religion, political allegiance, the citizenship listed in your passport, etc, are not subject to leanings, but there are a few causes when leaning into a cause that is foreign to you is necessary.

I am an Egyptian, the sole question I have that comes from a practical point of view is how this war will affect my economy and my tourism industry, what will happen? Russians and Ukrainians together make up the largest number of tourists, etc..

But God gave us a mind and free will to have opinions on material and ideological affairs, and yes, I am not Russian, but I ideologically support the Russian side of the conflict from a question of morality and practicality.

Funny enough, when all of this went down in 2014, I was originally leaning into the Ukrainian side, the seizure of Crimea at first made me naturally make an analogy when Sinai was seized by Israel, and when the popular vote happened, I didn't think it was legitimate, because I also drew an analogy when the Israelis tried to get the locals to vote to secede from Egypt.

My viewpoint really only changed after the whole Donbass lit up, to me, a national army will never fight it's own citizens, it will only fight armed formations and only if attacked first, if a government orders it's armed forces to attack the citizens, then the government is illegitimate, what happened in Donbass really only clarified that to me.

Then, I talked to Crimeans, I talked to Russians and Ukrainians, work, travels, the internet, personal interactions, and I listened to all of their viewpoints, and so on.

I ideologically support the Russian federation in this conflict because as far as I'm concerned, the Russian federation, unlike Nancy Pelosi, did not go on record and say that even if the Kremlin burned down, their support to Israel will not perish, I believe in something called a national will, and even after 8 long years we still see people yearning for it in Ukraine, and over 70 in Palestine, and Afghanistan, then the mainstream media can't be really correct on this issue.

I also support the Russian federation from a practical point of view, afterall, 3 superpowers is better than 2, Russia is a great investor in Egypt in the economic and cultural sphere, so why would I want it gone? Ukraine barely contributed anything here.

Also I have personal experiences with some Ukrainians, some of them were Azovites, even at Sharm I met one sporting the tattoo, some even in a half-drunk state discussing eugenics and how only a few types of people were fit to live.

Of course, I also met some Russians like this, and most Ukrainians I met weren't like this, but the fact that this category was encouraged on the state level by the authorities in Kiev sealed the deal for me.

Therefore, anyone who wishes to change the status quo in the world that is beneficial to anyone that's outside of Europe and North America, a world of multipolarity, should support the Russian federation.

Since the times of Adam and Eve there were always 2 equally strong opposite sides, Romans and Persians, Americans and Soviets, you name it, a unipolar world order is unnatural, and we can see it's societal effects in the cultural sphere of many developed countries, so no, thank you.

⚡️⚡️Happy Monday! Our regular morning updates are back after a long New Year break.
Here are the latest developments on Russia and #UkraineCrisis as on January 9

🔴Questionable revenge
Reuters found “no signs of casualties” after Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk aimed at dormitories where Ukrainian servicemen were allegedly hosted. Moscow claimed the strike killed at least 600 Ukrainian soldiers, however the figure was questioned even by pro-Kremlin bloggers in Russia.

A Reuters team visited two college dormitories that Moscow said had been temporarily housing Ukrainian personnel and which it had targeted as revenge for a New Year's attack that killed at least 89 Russian soldiers.

🇧🇾Up in arms
The Belarusian Ministry of Defense announced Sunday that joint air drills between Russia and Belarus would begin on January 16th. ”During the tactical flight exercise, all airfields and training grounds of the Air Force and Air Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Belarus will be involved,“ the statement reads.

The announcement comes few days after State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus Aleksandr Volfovich told BelTA that the deployment of the regional military force is “supposed to cool off hotheads in the West”. “Our neighbours are pursuing a policy, which is far from peace-loving. This is why the decision to deploy the regional military force was made. It has purely defensive goals. It is designed to protect primarily western borders of the Union State,” he added.

⚠️Bucha X?
Russian MOD accused Ukraine in blaming “a new large-scale anti-Russian provocation aimed at discrediting” the Russian army and accuse Russian servicemen of allegedly committing war crimes.

On the eve of the Orthodox Christmas, Ukraine law enforcement has dug out graves of civilians in cemeteries near Kazachya Lopan, Velikiy Burluk, Shypovatoye and Khatnoye (Kharkov region), the Interdepartmental Coordination Center of the Russian Federation for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine said in a statement on Sunday. The local citizens buried there died of natural causes during the deployment of Russian troops in these areas from February 24 to September 6, 2022, the statement said.

“After the exhumation, the bodies of Ukrainian citizens were further disfigured and dumped into specially prepared ‘pits’ on the outskirts of these settlements to create false ‘evidence’ of alleged ‘torture’ and ‘shootings’ of civilians by Russian servicemen,” it added.

🔫Help at any cost
Germany is frantically looking for the 40 infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) Marder promised to Ukraine, Der Spiegel reported. According to the publication, Rheinmetall defence corporation has 60 decommissioned vehicles in warehouses, but their modernization would take too much time. Therefore, Berlin is thinking of supplying Kyiv with BMPs from the reserves of the German army.

Earlier France and Germany announced they have finally decided to send armored vehicles to Ukraine, a move Kyiv’s leadership had long asked for.

⭕️Dividing Christmas
Politico publishes a report from The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, one of the first monasteries in Kyivan Rus and one of the key holy places for Orthodox Christians in Ukraine and Russia.

Till recently, the Dormition Cathedral, the main church of the Kyiv Pechersk Monastery, used to be the main headquarters of f the Russia-affiliated Ukrainian Orthodox Church, also known as the Moscow Patriarchate Church. But after Ukrainian government’s crackdown on Lavra and its priests (many of them are currently under investigation by the Security Service of Ukraine for alleged collaboration with Russian security forces), for the first time the Christmas service was conducted by the independent Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
