China has some obligations and also profits to have from Russia but it sees this connection as toxic so it uses it’s NK subsidiary. They don’t want to smear their reputation for nothing when they already face challenges in foreign tariffs against it’s products like cars. And they also see benefits in keeping Russia under perpetual stress from the West because it leads to this country becoming integrated into chinese market and sphere of influence.

Wasn’t it destroyed by mold once or whatever? I heard it was once recontructed after it was built and the guy himself haven’t his time here yet. So probs not a great target.

These aren’t probably news by itself, these were news when these laws and guidelines themselves appeared around 2021 when it was suggested by everyone but wasn’t clear if Russia starts things and it was used as a proof it would. I’m yet to hear this specific law getting used though, and article kinda shoulders that.

The Kremlin has begun distributing an updated instruction manual to military units engaged in its war in Ukraine on the preparation and maintenance of mass graves.

That contradicts what written on the cover - last paragraph dedicates it to (probably) law students becoming candidates of science, a step before becoming doctors and after getting bachelor’s and master’s degree. But I suppose it’s formal and doesn’t mean much. I just wonder who the fuck would waste small amount of hours at that level of education on that niche subject that no one but lawyers specified in military cases gonna use. As a practical guide with all the beaurocratic measures to dig graves in the legal, specific way - yeah, they are mostly needed on the frontlines. But I have my doubts anyone would care to do such things by the book and am surprised there’s no moss-covered standard from the soviet 70s to cover that like it usually happens.

I was optimistic about that before and now I want to believe you.

NK importing rice from Russia is funny as it is. The depressing part comes in whenever Kim would like to challenge South Korea’s statehood, EU and US would not want to get involved, just like they do with Ukraine, because NK is a chinese proxy and they don’t want to offend China too much. Although NK’s army is outdated and idiotic, they can still cause a lot of harm, especially if supported by other states.

Hey, Tony, is there something to come from it? Like, some answer.

And Lvova-Belova, who acted as a face of this program from the russian side and actually said they do so and gave numbers, is wanted in Geneve, yet there’s no one to take her there yet. She’s betting hard on never being charged. She’d be turned over once it gets hot for her and other henchmen, but when would this moment come?

There’s a lot to say about how NK troops are designed to be inept in the warzone, but as long as they dig trenches or carry ammo, they still put additional stress on ukrainian army. They keep endure more than what they asked for and don’t seem to have means to end the war without being supported accordingly to a new threat that took place. Let’s assume these koreans are warfare masterminds, everyone of them, instead of writing them off, and call it like it is: two countries and unknown amount of mercs are fighting against one country, and this country needs a blank check on mil spending for they take it themselves and hasn’t yet called for official military intevention from any other state.

Thanks for supplying me with further info. Yeah, it’s very young and doesn’t have it’s roots in paegan traditions like Масленица that is widely celebrated. So, probably, it doesn’t exist for anyone except these orgs.

What’s this Bread Day about? I’m from here and for all my years I haven’t heard about it, and the Father’s day isn’t mentioned anywhere (sadly) and is not celebrated at all. They picked what they saw closest in the calendar to invite soldiers and use it as an angle of pressure their fathers and older siblings, making kids ask: why are you not on the war? Is daddy\bro a coward like that soldier told me? That’s said, it’s probably not that thought through and gets done just to tick boxes in the reports and probably get some coverage\funding to said kindergardens.

I hope we’d fucking stop before he’d cry once more at the ruins of Piter. This town still has historical markings about what side of the street to follow and where to hide from the WW2, and still…

If I’d outlive the gramps sending us to kill and die, it’d be a pleasure for me to show you and other lemmings around. Russia has many sight to see and adore, to fall in love even, mostly in St. Petes as I’m biased against Moscow. If at any point I’d not be persecuted for printing that comment, I’d gladly do it on the house.

Peterhoff is one of the most popular tourist destinations there if you want to google some photos. A mansion where every room is designed in it’s own royal-tier style to cringe at. And that complex is surrounded with a huge walking park with old trees, marble statues and beatiful fontains, some of them are made to shoot at random from the ground to confuse visitors, all of that sitting right at the shore.

If only he did something to pursue that in 24+ years he held the office… He only cares now because indebted newlyweds with kids are a target demographic for service. And it doesn’t work that well either.

Theoretically yes, but these were previously imported for reasons and if pre-war Russia didn’t cover that, I guess the modern one wouldn’t too.

Partially, but most goes through grey channels and would do so. Intel 13k, nVidia 4k, they all happen to get there from China but with more and more variable locations on the way.

Russia doesn’t export high tech into China if I read you right. And it doesn’t produce much for it’s authonomy in spite for the move for импортозамещение or replacing exports. It still depends on things they import, including chips for military production and some casual things like home devices, ingredients for brewing etc.

They also sent garbage to SK to no repsonse and no purpose.

I have a hard time remembering it from the time I’ve seen it in cinema in late 00s I think. It was something about alien concentration camps? I can’t remember much now.

These processes are slow and they put their heads on the table to make sure some gray alternative channel still works. If something, these measures would take effect somewhere in 2030s for the big players. Yet, Gazprom reported negative balance recently, and other resource-oriented conpanies too, so some effect already took place.
