Kim's sister denies North Korea has supplied weapons to Russia
The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has again denied that her country has exported weapons to Russia.
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
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"
of the greatest military powers in the world right now
Yeah, remember how they rolled over the Ukrainian military and took Kyiv in two weeks like Putin said they would?
You are spreading Kremlin talking points. Spreading influence for a regime illegally trying to annex it's neighbor, razing cities, murdering civilians and kidnapping children.
You understand that is not Okay, right?
Russian's current military doctrine involves overwhelming its opponent with larger amount of fire over precision. This means that they give preference to dumb munitions (this is, projectiles which trajectory you cannot change once they've been fired) over precise munitions, and North Korea is pretty much capable of providing a bunch of the former. Given North Korea's current economy and the fact that not many countries would be interested in that kind of armament, it would make perfect sense for Russia and North Korea to make that trade. Nothing of this are judgements of value over any country, just facts and analysis.
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
She added that the recently tested weapons are designed to attack Seoul, the South Korean capital
What a great neighbourhood to be in
Well, if she said it, it MUST be true!
Almost all politicians lie but what's the deal with a certain subsection of them doing the bit so blatantly?
I guess it is helped that nobody will call out their lies (and lives).
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.
This statement makes sense if you know literally nothing about North Korea or the Korean war.
If you do know anything about it you realize why they might be a little hesitant to trust America.
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.
And WW3 is only getting started...lots of powder kegs loaded and everyone is juggling lit matches...
She don’t look like she’s eating her annual rice ball.
Please stop sharing lies.
The highly esteemed Kim family does not require food, so your point is entirely redundant.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Foreign experts believe North Korea’s recent series of artillery and short-range missile tests were meant to examine or advertise the weapons it was planning to sell to Russia.
Kim Yo Jong called outside assessments on the North Korean-Russian dealings “the most absurd paradox which is not worth making any evaluation or interpretation.”
She said North Korea’s recent weapons tests were purely performed as parts of the country’s five-year arms buildup plan launched in 2021.
In March, South Korean Defense Minister Shin Wonsik said North Korea had shipped about 7,000 containers filled with munitions and other military equipment to Russia since last year.
At the time, Ukraine officials also said an investigation of the debris of a missile found in its northeastern Kharkiv region showed the weapon likely was from North Korea.
Foreign experts say North Korea likely thinks an enlarged weapons arsenal would boost its leverage in future diplomacy with the United States.
The original article contains 504 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 70%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Is there any incentive for her to say NK did supply weapons to Russia?
Kim is such a hungry boy he cant even feed his sister.
Well that's a relief
