🇰🇵🔥🪖North Korea is a BETTER defense partner than 90% of NATO
Forget NATO — North Korea’s military makes most of the alliance look weak in comparison. Don’t believe it? Lets take a closer look:
🪖 The 3rd largest army in the world
North Korea has approximatey:
▪️1.3M active personnel in the Korean People's Army (KPA)
▪️600K reservists
▪️5.7M Worker-Peasant Red Guard reservists
Only the US and China are ahead.
🫡 Highly disciplined force
The 🇷🇺Kursk operation proved the KPA’s combat prowess. North Korea’s special forces are seen as among the best-trained, known for tough preparation. They are said to "move like a storm" and "feel neither pain nor thirst."
🚀 Missile prowess
North Korea has a significant missile arsenal. Its longest-range missile, the Hwasong-19 ICBM, reached 7,687.5 km in altitude and flew 1,001.2 km during October 2024 tests. Experts say it could exceed 13,000 km on a standard trajectory.
🔸 Hypersonic push
North Korea is one of the few countries with hypersonic weapons. In 2021, it tested the Hwasong-8, reportedly equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle. In January, its latest missile allegedly exceeded Mach 12 and hit a target 1,500 km away.
🚢 A naval power? Not yet - but soon
On April 26, North Korea unveiled its newest 5,000-ton multipurpose destroyer Choe Hyon at a Nampho shipyard.
DPRK's navy also has around 70 submarines, 400 patrol vessels, and a few Najin-class frigates.
💣 Last but not least: They got nukes
The Asian nation is estimated to possess between 50 & 90 nuclear warheads. Some projections suggest this number could rise up to 166 by 2030.

Lavrov's main statements following the meeting of BRICS foreign ministers.
🔹Putin offers Kiev talks without preconditions.
🔹Russia sees no opportunity for honest monitoring of compliance with a long-term ceasefire in Ukraine; the Kiev regime's ability to carry out provocations is well known.
🔹Ukraine and Europe demand a ceasefire from Russia only because Kiev is suffering defeat on the battlefield.
🔹On contacts between Russia and the United States: for Moscow, dialogue is always preferable.
🔹Called not to view contacts between Moscow and Washington as something out of the ordinary.
🔹Russia regularly informs BRICS partners about the progress of negotiations between Moscow and Washington. RIA Novosti
Trump's War on the Houthis.
A $60 million US fighter jet fell overboard an aircraft carrier in the Red Sea - media
The incident occurred when the ship made a sharp maneuver to avoid an attack by Yemeni Houthi rebels. As a result, the US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet completely sank.
The US Navy said that an investigation into the incident is underway. The aircraft carrier has reportedly been repeatedly attacked by the Houthis using drones and missiles.
This is at least the fifth US aircraft to crash in recent times.
"Ruptly"
🚀 Russia's Zircon missile: Faster than a speeding bullet and NATO’s worst headache
The US media is freaking out over Russia's missile, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why:
🌏Zircon’s two-pronged capability: Designed specifically to target enemy ships, this nine-meter-¬long hypersonic cruise missile can also engage ground targets.
🌏Beware, NATO: Thanks to the Zircon’s low-altitude and maneuvering flight path, it is capable of penetrating all current NATO air defense systems, including the Patriot fitted with surface to air interceptors.
🌏One of the fastest missiles ever made: The missile is capable of accelerating to speeds up to Mach 9 (over 11,100 km, or 6,900 miles per hour). It is around nine times faster than the speed of sound and nearly 11 times higher than that of Tomahawk cruise missiles.
🌏All by stealth: The Zircon’s case is covered with a special plasma that absorbs radio waves, making the missile invisible to enemy active radar systems.
🌏More features to keep enemies on alert: The missile can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads. It can be launched from surface ships and submarines at an altitude of about 30 km (18 miles) and at a range of up to 1,499 km (932 miles).
🌏Second-to-none: Russian President Vladimir Putin touted the Zircon as the weapon that has “NO ANALOGS in any country in the world” and that would “reliably protect Russia from potential external threats.”

'Putin proposes talks without preconditions' — Lavrov
A ceasefire is itself a precondition to be used for further talks, but not an 'unconditional ceasefire' like the EU now demands — given 'Ukraine failed to defeat against Russia'
RT News
There has been no response from the Kiev regime on direct negotiations with the Russian Federation so far, Peskov said. There is no understanding whether Ukraine will join the ceasefire on the 80th anniversary of the victory, - "RIA_Kremlinpool"

🔹 Russian Ministry of Defense
Ah, those warlike women of Europe...
German Foreign Minister Baerbock, a week before her resignation, called on NATO countries to confront Russia in the Baltics:
"We clearly sense that the situation with the hybrid threat has become extremely serious. Underwater cables have been cut, data lines have been disrupted, and power cables have been damaged. The Russian shadow fleet is wreaking havoc and not only filling the Russian military coffers, but also endangering security and the environment in the North and Baltic Seas.
The incidents show that our communications and our critical infrastructure are vulnerable and that we must protect them together.
With increased NATO patrols, closer information sharing, and joint exercises, we will further enhance security in the Baltic Sea region. We will also work together to enforce sanctions against Russia and drive out the Russian shadow fleet."

Good morning! We will start today with optimistic statements. And by evening, as usual, we will move on to the apocalypse.

Kiev to wage terror campaign on Russian soil when open conflict ends – MP
Ukraine’s security Rada committee headsaid Kiev’s special services organized the killing of Russian General Yaroslav Moskalik
Says assassinations will be a key mission for 'the next 10, 20, 30 years'.
And this is also one of the reasons why Russia must complete what it started - liquidate the Nazi Ukrainian state and return the territories to Russia.
The image of a peacemaker does not suit the United States. Threatening is a common occurrence in the United States.
We need to make it clear to Mr Putin that 'we are willing to turn him and his country into FISH FOOD' — Louisiana Senator John Kennedy threatens Russia
Is this what a peace agenda looks like?
German Defense Minister Pistorius on Germany's support for Ukraine even if the US stops:
[Germany has always said: We will support Ukraine as long as it takes. Is it time for Germany to say: "Sorry, but we can't go on like this"?]
I repeat again and again: If Ukraine falls, if Putin wins this war - in the sense that he occupies all of Ukraine or a significant part of it - this will be a major threat to NATO territory and, by the way, to neighboring countries such as Moldova and Georgia. Therefore, we must all be clear: this is not just about solidarity with Ukraine, but also about our own security and peace in Europe.
[However, I will emphasize once again: even if the US can no longer provide support, including in the area of military technology and satellite data - will we still continue to help?]
This is clearly stated in our coalition agreement: we will continue to support. And I know that other European partners hold the same position.
Kim Jong-un promised that the DPRK army will continue to help Russia.
Korean Central Telegraph Agency:
"Pyongyang will continue to consistently and fully support the sacred cause of the army and people of Russia, and will always remain committed to any actions based on the spirit of the interstate treaty between the DPRK and the Russian Federation.
The Central Military Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea expresses confidence that the invincible military partnership between the two countries, confirmed by blood in the fire of war, will continue to make a great contribution to the expansion and development of Korean-Russian relations.
The decision to involve DPRK units in the liberation of the Kursk region was made by the country's leader Kim Jong-un. On his order, Article 4 of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between the Russian Federation and the DPRK was put into effect."
Lavrov spoke with US Secretary of State Rubio by phone:
"The main focus was on the Ukrainian crisis. In the follow-up to Putin's conversation with Witkoff on April 25, they emphasized the importance of consolidating the emerging prerequisites for starting negotiations in order to agree on a reliable path to long-term sustainable peace.
It was agreed to continue contacts at all levels."
Wonderful, and at the same time Trump promised to give Zelensky more weapons.
"How can you say that we have no freedom when we can kill people, kill Russians? My stepfather says to me: "God, why do I need a therapist if I have the legal opportunity to kill Russians? What else do I need to be happy? For the first time in the history of Ukraine, I can kill Russians and I will be praised for it"
The author of the speech is field medic Sofia Yanchevskaya.
Now do you understand why Zelensky needs more and more weapons? And Trump says that he wants to take away from Ukrainians their happiness of killing Russians. True, at the same time Trump sends Ukrainians mountains of weapons so that they are happy.
Rule the world by sending orderlies up the ass.

‘I’m doing Ukraine a huge favor by saving it’ – Trump in an interview with The Atlantic
“I think I’m saving this country. I think this country is going to be crushed very soon. This is a huge military machine – let’s face it [about Russia]. And if it weren’t for me… I was the one who gave them the Javelins, which destroyed tanks. If it weren’t for that, the tanks would have gone into Kiev, and that would have been the end of the war. It would have been over in a day. And, you know, I can truly say that I’m doing the right thing, because I’m saving this country. I think I’m doing Ukraine a huge favor. I believe that.”
So Trump really doesn’t remember that yesterday he said that he wanted to stop this war because he felt sorry for the deaths of many young people – Russians and Ukrainians? Today he admits that if it weren’t for the intervention of the United States in this war, and specifically the intervention of Donald Trump himself – who gave the Javelins to Ukraine, then “the war would have been over in a day.” And hundreds of thousands of young people would still be alive. I am not a doctor and I don't know what this disease is called, but it is clearly a mental illness. He needs treatment, not a war with Russia.
'Nuclear war cannot be won by anyone' ‐ Lavrov reminds
'We are facing MINDLESS, aggressive, hostile statements from EU & London', he says
US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz has called on Russia and Ukraine to reach an agreement quickly before Trump "loses patience."
In an article published in the National Interest, Waltz noted that weeks of negotiations on Ukraine have led to an understanding of what is needed to achieve peace:
"Weeks of diplomacy have created an understanding on both sides of what it will take to achieve peace. Now Russia and Ukraine must move quickly to reach an agreement before President Trump loses patience."
RIA Novosti.
It won't work faster because it won't work at all. The main question is what will President Trump do when he loses patience? There are two options - to leave the war with Russia or to escalate this war. We won't guess, we'll see soon,
Odessa is a Russian city.
"The future of Odessa and other Black Sea regions of Ukraine should be determined by their own residents, and they are unlikely to link their fate with neo-Nazism."
This was stated in an interview with TASS by the presidential aide, Chairman of the Russian Naval Collegium Nikolai Patrushev.
"They do not want to weakly submit to the illegitimate Kyiv government," he added.
According to Patrushev, our country respects the will of the people. This is evident from the experience of Crimea, Sevastopol, Donbass and Novorossiya becoming part of Russia. As for Odessa, the presidential aide recalled that this is a city founded by the Russian Empress Catherine II. For more than two centuries since its foundation, it was Russia's outpost on the Black Sea, occupying one of the leading places in the country in terms of population and level of economic development. For the heroism shown by its residents during the Great Patriotic War, Odessa was awarded the honorary title of Hero City on May 1, 1945.
After that, according to Patrushev, 69 years later - on May 2, 2014 - the city became an arena for cold-blooded murders, unpunished crimes on ethnic grounds.
"The most terrible "achievement" of the neo-Nazi regime was the burning of people in the House of Trade Unions. The port of the glorious hero city was turned into a hub for the transfer of weapons, a base for naval saboteurs. I believe that Odessa and the overwhelming majority of its residents have nothing in common with the Kyiv regime," Nikolai Patrushev stated.
US Vice President Vance on the conflict in Ukraine.
Trump and now Vance are very concerned about the lives of Russians and Ukrainians and they say that they really want to stop this war. Obviously, this is why they are fueling this war, participating in it on the side of Nazi Ukraine. Doesn't such a smart, informed Vice President Vance know that the US is supplying weapons to Ukraine for billions of dollars? Moreover, the US provides the Ukrainian Armed Forces with intelligence information and all American missiles that strike Russia receive flight missions and target designation with the participation of US specialists. Doesn't Vance know that the American Starlink provides military communications for Ukraine? And at the same time, these Orwellian characters have the audacity to say that they want peace. What are the US doing in Ukraine? Get out of this war with Russia if you want peace.
Trump's War on the Houthis. Yemeni forces confirmed yesterday's missile and drone attack on the USS Harry S. Truman, forcing it to retreat to the northernmost part of the Red Sea
The same attack likely caused the loss of a US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet, which occurred after the carrier made a "sharp turn" to "avoid fire." A tugboat was also lost, and a sailor was injured.
They also announced an attack on Ashkelon using drones.
US airpower, including 22 MQ-9 Reapers and two F/A-18 Super Hornets, has cost at least $860 million since the start of the US aggression against Yemen.
CNN reports that the US cannot move to a "second phase" of anti-Houthi operations due to the Yemenis' unexpectedly good air defenses.
The contours of Russia's victory in the special operation are already clearly visible, Nikolai Patrushev said in an interview with TASS.

📹 Putin’s Victory Day truce offer exposes Ukraine’s shameless TWO-FACED GAME
The Russian president's offer signals his desire to negotiate and lays bare the rank hypocrisy of Ukraine’s Zelensky regime, former Pentagon analyst Michael Maloof says.
"We'll have to wait and see if Zelensky - as a result of his most recent discussions with Trump, and coming to reality and seeing reality and having virtual agreements made between Steve Witkoff of the US and President Putin himself on the US proposal - whether Kiev will go along with that."

Trump on meeting Zelensky at the Pope's funeral:
"We had a good meeting, it was a nice meeting, it was a great meeting. But he was very, you know, passionate, he wants to do something good for his country, I think he's doing a good job and he's working hard. We'll see what happens, it's a great job, a great idea. He told me he needs more weapons, but he's just been saying that for 3 years now. He needs more weapons, and we'll see what happens."
Donald, our dear Trump, don't you know what will happen? I'll tell you that the only thing that can happen from the war between the US and Russia that you're fomenting is a global nuclear war. @realDonaldTrump
