Russia getting ready to deploy North Korean troops to Ukraine:
NK troops will fight just to stay alive.

I wouldn’t be surprise if they are sent to get a real exposure to a battlefield and then use it back home.

They could be used to guard the equipment sent to the frontline.

I would be very surprised if they are sent to fight the Ukrainian. This would have a very big impact on the military strategy of NATO

Around the corner
What should have happened is a united Europe should have sent in troops to Ukraine and sent Russia packing.
They have more than enough fire power and Russia wouldn’t start a nuclear war in its own backyard.

This shouldn’t be a US fight a united Europe should once and for all keep Russian aggression in check with the full force available to them.
Russia would have backed off and run home.

I agree and I find deeply offensive (as do many Americans) the notion (by some Canadians and foreigners) that the US is the world's policeman with a moral duty to intervene, despite not getting paid by any foreign governments in taxes or remunerations for doing so. This seems to have been a lingering mentality since WWII which, until Pearl Harbor occurred, many American leaders did not want to enter.

That being said, at the outset of this conflict my personal belief was that the US should intervene and assist Ukraine in defending itself against Russian aggression. I was not wild about the idea of assisting Ukraine in offensive operations. However, in this case, based on what I have read, the lines between defense and offense are somewhat blurred. This is not like hockey or football or soccer where one team is distinctly on offense and the other is on defense when in one team's defensive zone.

Ukraine Assassinates Russian General:
Hmmm... from the yahoo reuters article above:

"MOSCOW (Reuters) -A top Russian general accused by Ukraine of being responsible for the use of chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops was assassinated in Moscow by Ukraine's SBU intelligence service"

Quite the opposite view from Igor Kirillov from 2022:
Funny I specifically remember this briefing.
Good thing cause most won't find it.

Igor Kirillov briefing 2022

"We are considering the possibility that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was involved in the emergence of the new coronavirus
Since 2009, the agency has funded the Predict programme, which has investigated new species of coronaviruses by capturing bats that carry the viruses.
One of the contractors for the project was Metabiota, a company known for its military-biological activities in Ukraine."

Reuters and yahoo is pulling the oldest tactic "Blame others on what you are doing"
Oldest leftist gaslighting trick in the book "Rules for Radicals"
The report link posted in coronavirus thread post#5870 references these claims made by Igor Kirillov.
I doubt Igor Kirillov was assassinated for the reasons we are told by mainstream.
Even crazy RFK was on it. He gonna be assasinated next?

Kennedy on US biolabs in Ukraine

Maybe just Russian propaganda.

When two countries are at war, it is totally fair and within the rules of engagement to kill military personnel, wherever they happen to be, especially high ranking officers. I did not think it necessary for the Ukrainians to attempt to justify the killing of Kirillov by casting him as "Chemical Ali". Whether he was or was not a war criminal, he was a military commander, and that alone justified him being targeted. This is what all the military personnel on both sides sign up for in a war - to some day get shot, or blown up. I am just wondering if after that blast there was anything left for the guy's family to bury. It looked like he may have been blown to smithereens.

I wouldn't call the invasion of a neighbor a war ! How many innocent Ukrainian women and children have been killed or injured by Russia ?
I have no sympathy or respect for any Russian officers killed by any means neither for their remains. Do you think that general family care for the families of his victims ?

Simple ! An invasion ! Was there a declaration of war ?
I never saw or heard of one !
An invasion by an armed militia ? Shooting , killing and kidnapping civilians is not an act of war ? Wars are declared through actions , not words. I suppose if this happened to your family you would be ok with it and go on with your life.

I was responding to the post 1394 suggesting respect for Russian general killed or his family.
Russian generals don't deserve any respect in this invasion, no more if they are killed by any means.
