Why was US not sanction by UN for invading Iraq Afganistan Yemen Syria Somalia etc etc??

[ethereal]

Just to clarify something most media gets wrong is what "out of ammunition" really means. Armed forces hardly if ever get to a point they have no ammo left. What happens is that they adjust consumption, and the floor for that is the current production. For instance, aproving only fire missions that meets a certain importance threshold, or reducing scope. So low ammo just means decreased effectiveness.

The Pentagon has been running haywire, even after the all the sanctions that the US has placed on North Korea, Moscow has welcomed them with/for “ open arms “. It prompts us to contemplate how this geopolitical development might reverberate through the intricate web of the US economy.

As if Kim gives a F to what US thinks.

US: Don’t you dare give Russia weapons.
North Korea: Or else what?
US: Hmmm. Never mind.

We knew Russia would break an arms sanction with North Korea, we just assumed weapons going the other way. 😂😂

[samsanyang]

Who is United States to tell N.Korea what to do?😂

[MusondaMulenga-rijj]

That's a good step by both countries

[cleusiocabinda]

Question: what will US do to DPRK that they haven't done yet?

[numberphile]

Russia and North Korea are two great friends and neighbors who fought together against aggression in the Korean war

[forehfilms]

North Korea and Russia will do whatever they want, and just as you have done to many other countries with impunity, no one can stop them.

The journalist from SK looks very competent in her field

[menya]

How many times have they said that Russia is out of ammo? I remeber last fall they said they ran out of weapons too.. they could only give mobilized soldier rusty weapons and shovels.

Us+nato 😮
RUSSIA + NORTH KORIA + CHAINA + IRAN + PAKISTAN + IRAQ + SYRIA + AFGANISTAN 😈

[ucaiko]

What an amazing reporter. Facts, confidence. assurance.

[DarkVader-jjdt]

Kim Jong Un wouldn't give a flying f#$% about what America thinks.

[johnbrown-hmrj]

The analyst from Korea is so well spoken

[apex]

What a great analyst.
Well done on that report and excellent presentation.

[s.c.]

I don't think this is only about North Korea and Russia. China also should have been involved here. China cannot send weapons to Russia directly and can send to North Korea as a way to give weapons to Russia. So, now China, North Korea and Russia may have an agreement for weapons.

I like the random analysts analyzing from their kitchens and bedrooms😂
