The Biden administration believes that everyone is stupid enough to eat the bullshit it produces.

Consider this latest nonsense:

North Korea has secretly shipped munitions to Russia through the Middle East and North Africa, the U.S. says. - NYT

The United States on Wednesday accused North Korea of covertly shipping a “significant number” of artillery shells to Russia to aid its war effort in Ukraine, a sign that Moscow is increasingly turning to pariah states for military supplies as the grinding conflict persists. The White House’s national security spokesman, John Kirby, said that it was unclear if the artillery munitions, which are being transferred through the Middle East and North Africa, had reached Russia. The United States does not believe that the additional weapons will alter the trajectory of the war.

“Our indications are the DPRK is covertly supplying and we’re going to monitor to see whether shipments are received,” Mr. Kirby told reporters on Wednesday, referring to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. “Our information indicates that they’re trying to obscure the method of supply by funneling them through other countries in the Middle East and North Africa.”

Russia and North Korea have a common border. Artillery ammunition is heavy and one needs lots of it. That is why it is preferable to transport it in bulk - by ship or railway.

Russia's and North Korea's railways are connected.
