I also don't understand that kind of information. What I think about it is that Russia has tried to shift to a war time economy while not admitting to their people that they are in a war. Without mobilizing the entire population to a war footing.

I think that is the secret to shifting to a war production economy, making partners of the citizens who will think about and then save to invest in their country willingly. When that is done, a war can be good for business, a country at war can have a booming war time economy.

We talk a lot about the US setting red lines to prevent escalation of this war. Russia is doing that as well, they have not mobilized their population to a war footing to avoid escalation to an all out war. But without doing that they are going to go broke as a county.

The Important part of this is to get the citizens to save, and then get them to invest that savings to the war effort.

What can help is for the government to limit folks from spending their money on luxury items, like new cars, fuel for cars, tires, sugar, coffee, ect. That frees up money, as well as manufacturing production capacity, for them to spend it as a nation on a war effort. Gets citizens to spend it on war bonds.

What I've laid out here is similar to what the US did to get on a war footing for WWII. It caused our economy to boom during the war and for years after that war.

It also helped that our post-WWII economic expansion (largest in human history) was due to the Marshall Plan economic revitalization/recovery plan for rebuilding the entire economic/civil infrastructure of war-damaged Western European countries following the cessation of hostilities in European theatre in May 1945. Interestingly, we offered massive funds, resources to Eastern/Central European nations liberated and occupied by Soviet troops like Poland, Hungary, even East Germany in immediate aftermath years following WWII, but under intense pressure from Soviet military and civilian authorities, they declined.

But, the post-WWII economic boom lasted for over 3 decades and didnt start showing some cracks until stagflation, wage restraints, rising consumer prices related to the OPEC oil shocks of the 1970's caused it to all come to an end, and in conjunction with the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979-81, Operation Eagle Claw's failure, it factored massively into Jimmy Carter not being elected for a second term.

He said, "Happy Halloween, my dear friends! This is how I celebrated it in Krasnohorivka, 2015."

This timing of a major assault could also be influenced by the US election.

Today I saw this. I'm still on the fence on this issue being real. Seeing this didn't help the N Korean troops fighting in Ukraine story line.



It's like someone showing me a photo of Utes and telling me that they are Navajos.

Here are some N Korean troops:

Do you notice something, they don't look the same. That photo of supposedly N Korean troops look like they are Yakuts to me. Yakuts are a northern Siberia native people.

When I was on the Bering sea between Siberia and Alaska I met and spoke with some Yakuts. They kind of look like Koreans, (who are also a Siberian group), however they are from a different language group. They're body builds are a bit different.

Basically Koreans are a bit thinner as a general rule, Yakuts are a bit taller and carry more weight on their face.

Your post reminds me of this…

It doesn't remind me of that. What it suggests to me is that you are perhaps trying to ride on a high horse.

I was speaking of a groups appearance, that Nazi smere you have added here is focused on a lone individual's appearance.


One cannot view one lone individual and say with any degree of accuracy of what ethnic tribe they are from, however when viewing a group of individuals who are maneuvering together as a military unit one can use their average characteristics to identify the entire group by their race or ethnicity.

In our society we do this all the time. We have armies who fight other armies and the very important endeavour to identify the enemy before shooting them is just that. We identify them by the look of them.

To put this another way I'm a Jew who can pass as a white man, one cannot look at me and tell that I'm a Jew.

However if I were standing amoung a group of my Jewish fellows the whole group of us could be accurately identified as being Jewish by our overall appearance.

I've forgotten which thread I was in a few times. Put Israel posts in Ukraine and vice versa. It's nice to see Baarbogast make that same mistake.

I found this from the Ukraine Ministry of Foreign Affairs:



Now I know who's been waging the dog. I'm not adverse to their goal in mind. What I take away from this is that Ukraine is now asking us and all of Europe to join the war with them.

That certainly signals that there is a sense of desperation they are feeling. What they're doing might work, it does seem to be getting people in other countries to push their governments to join the war because those scary unpredictable North Koreans are coming.

Who knows maybe there will be some North Koreans.

I just noticed that, I actually once put a Ukrainian post in the cute dog thread, not sure how I did that.
