They want to poke the bear. Fuck around and find out. Russia is not a beast to mess with. All we can do now is pray we won’t have a world war 3 on our hands to prevent Trump taking office. 🙏 As mad as this looks we knew the cornered rats would pull the trigger on this once they ran out of options.
My thoughts exactly. This is the easiest way to create a problem that they hope Americans will accept to keep the puppet in office.
Though they also are openly discussing a shadow government & violating the Hatch Act (IIRC that the the name of the act).
Another outcome they might be hoping for is to make things so bad when Trump is demanded to take office by the voters, that he will need to wast his first year or two to clean up the messes these lame ducks are making.
And what happens when the power goes out? If there’s no electricity for an extended period of time, even back up energy sources will run out of power. The servers will shut down. Will the blockchain still exist?
Um, Ukraine invaded Russia 3.months ago without causing WWIII.
Putin gave his military until Oct 1st to kick them out.
That didn't work so he now has given them until Jan 20th. Yup inauguration day.
Russia has masses forces including North Korean soldiers for this offensive in Kursk. Reports say up to 50,000
US officials are saying it's this escalation they are responding to.
The weapons are likely to be initially employed against Russian and North Korean troops in defense of Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region of western Russia, the officials said.
It appears other long range missiles have been approved. From Twitter.

France and Britain also allowed Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory with their SCALP/Storm Shadow missiles, — Le Figaro
Putin isn't too worried about the 10 miles of land the Ukrainians are barely holding. While these forces are occupied there, they aren't available to reinforce Ukraine's forces elsewhere, which is why Russia is making moves and breaking Ukrainian lines elsewhere.
This is more likely a response to the breakthrough in western Ukraine via Moldova. But gotta keep the moral up by reinforcing this idea that a small group of Ukrainians are going to make a difference in Kursk.
He is not importing North Koreans though. They are there as a way of gaining experience in supply roles, most likely for the upcoming offensive in Taiwan alongside China.
Another way to look at is Putin making sure Nkorea has some skin in the game if it wants to be a trade partner. We use allies and proxies all the time. It's no different.
As for interest rates, you assume that Russia and China are still playing by Western rules. Sun Tzu.
You think 47 western countries are the target buyers for Russia's exports? No, it's the other 148 2nd and 3rd world countries that require all the things that Russia produces in spades. Food-Fuel-Fertalizer.
If I remember correctly, Putin gave them the date of January 1st 2025.
Even so, a lot of Russian generals have been trying to convince him not to close the Kursk pocket, since that whole area is an open field where drones and artillery are wreaking havoc on the ukie supply lines. They've lost a ton of experienced fighters and much needed vehicles while fighting mostly with Russian reserves other there.
Meanwhile the Russians have accelerated their gains in Donbass. They're now taking a couple of villages every day and are threatening to take their main supply base in Pokrovsk. If that town falls, I expect most of the front to collapse in that area.

"Americans will accept to keep the puppet in office."
That's not the plan. WWIII and martial law, "There will be no transition of power while in a war time footing". I can hear their bullshit already.
I kinda suspect the generals are gonna tell Biden et al to pound sand though
I hope not true. But Kamala and Joe kept saying Trump's gonna give Ukraine to Russia.
The warmongers want to keep the wars going no matter what. They don't want peace.
the same generals trump is threatening? yeah, i'm sure they'll side with him
Fren Trump is already going to be spending years cleaning up the mess they made, with or without Ukraine bombing Russia.
Not to mention the debt we are in. Firing 80 percent of government not enough.
We almost need to go back to gold and silver. I don't know how crypto will work when hackers can steal it.
And what happens when the power goes out? If there’s no electricity for an extended period of time, even back up energy sources will run out of power. The servers will shut down. Will the blockchain still exist?

Someone tell Putin "not to play Someone tell Xi" "not to play" and watch it all melt away.

Be wary of where your information is coming from.
Putin's actions belie this.
Putin wouldn't have to be importing North Koreans if all was going well.
Russia just raised its interest rates to 21% because the economy is having problems.
Putin is throwing what he can at this problem.
He is not importing North Koreans though. They are there as a way of gaining experience in supply roles, most likely for the upcoming offensive in Taiwan alongside China.
This guy did a very good breakdown as to why the Russians are crushing Ukraine and the west in the attrition war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QRRZuKuhLo

Would love to see a source for rhis
Why don’t you watch the video he linked, when you couldn’t get past the “silly” opening. It’s informative.
