Sergei Shoigu's trip coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Korean War's end, which is referred to in Pyongyang as Victory Day. He is the first Russian defence minister to enter North Korea since the fall of the Soviet Union.
The North Korean leader was given a letter from Russian President Vladimir Putin - and according to state media, Kim "repeatedly expressed belief that the Russian army and people would achieve big successes in the struggle for building a powerful country."
Chinese officials were also part of the delegation, making them the first prominent visitors to the isolated state since the coronavirus pandemic.
All three countries are now pledging to boost ties, united by their rivalry with the US.
Kim's missiles were banned under UN Security Council resolutions that had initially been adopted with Chinese and Russian support.
While the KCNA news agency didn't explicitly refer to the war in Ukraine, North Korean defence minister Kang Sun Nam reportedly said he fully supported Moscow's "battle for justice".
Kim and Shoigu's tour of ballistic missiles is being regarded as a significant development by analysts, as it suggests that Russia is now accepting of North Korea's nuclear programme.
Ankit Panda from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace described the tour as "remarkable", adding:
"We've come a long way from when North Korea would avoid showing off its nuclear capabilities when senior foreign dignitaries from Russia and China were in town. The personal tour for Shoigu - and Shoigu's willingness to be photographed with Kim in the course of this tour - is evidence that Moscow is complacent with North Korea's ongoing nuclear modernisation."Other geopolitical experts believe Moscow may support Pyongyang more openly in the future.

The short little fat man stills reminds me of [Link]
He should get 1+c. kim-chi(cabbage+chili+garlic, at least) with all his rice and meat along with other pickled banchan. You'd think he'd eat well.. some dubbed him, "Little Panda". But he likely needs to lay off the Hennessey and cigarettes, probably nerfs his appetite and metabolism.
Neither did I know what you meant *and I read it over n over again loll -- but it felt right. I'm always fascinated by grasshoppers -- n always right behind you!! 🦗 🦗 🦗 🦗

Lâche pas Kim sounds a lot better than Lâche pas Brandon

You're great!! ❣️
My first class in circuits, the prof spoke of trickle currents in the ground and a case in WI where the HV Trans lines weren't grounded deep enough and caused the cows to produce less milk. The utility lost the case to the farmers whose cows were affected.
Thanks for the link!

It’s all very simple! And minimal cost! No wonder most do not know!

JTF Truth Great anecdote btw, that totally fits in with the premise. I wonder how many other farms are affected by it and not even know? I heard the other day under each cell tower there’s a huge copper base that’s underground, but this is only hearsay so I can’t clarify. I guess it would makes sense? I really don’t know enough.
LindaMay Oh I am glad to help out my wonderful Sis ❤️ You’re very welcome!

Glad to hear your not doing badly with the bugs.

If any "bug" thinks it can come into my home uninvited, then be aware bug, I will not only track you down, I will find your origin....just like all the dead ants around both my homes today at our "getaway" place.....one ant too many is one ant too much and defenses were put in place and now many ants are dead.
Yeah you know me too well mate I love that sort of thing. Woe betide any critter that dares cross your path
Haha you’re a legend Ken
Your pal,
Si
I'm telling you Si just here and now that not only do I know, I know we all know and truly the folks causing harm to the kids innocent - they have got some comeuppance coming and let me be the first to swipe the side of your face with hostility for all the harm you have caused to innocence. I mean, Si, I mean - we know. We know. I know. I play to win. That don't mean I play just for kicks - it means tis life and death decisions being made just now and Si.....I think you and I both know.....we both know those that harm innocence will get justice. Up close and personal, delivered directly, and in response to the harm caused...truly......we know and others do as well and so in that resides the resolution.
Oi mate I’m 💯% with you buddy I feel it in my bones. These people must pay… and pay dearly and eventually with their life.
All must go kenny ya old dawg with a sore arm I hope you’re still on top of them bugs 🐜
Keep being you my friend!

The Indians said the moon people had special skills and senses. Their hair must never be cut because it could feel the vibrations of the Earth making them excellent hunters and could forewarn of danger coming. And their eyes made it so they could move in the darkness without the moons assistance.
They were also said to have had cats that had lived with them in the caves that had the same characteristics: White fur and blue eyes and called them Sia-mese which means belonging to the darkness.
