Un soldado ruso herido tira la bomba que le suelta un dron ucraniano (pagado por la OTAN) y se queda tan tranquilo mientras explota.

Dos preguntas:

1) ¿En qué momento hemos normalizado que un dron asesine a soldados heridos o rendidos?

2) ¿Esto no es un crimen de guerra?

Some journalist trying to get a scoop:

"In this context can you tell us how long it would take for Ukraine to build a nuclear bomb and a question to the Secretary General would you understand if Ukraine were to build a nuclear bomb if it cannot become a NATO member thank you."

Volodymyr Zelenskyy:

"Sometimes we create ourselves problems, now you began to do it."

If Russia uses a nuclear weapon against a NATO country, then this is what will happen to Russia in response. About 45 million Russians will be vaporized in the first hour. Not much of a life remaining for the other 100 million. Maybe the people of Russia should stop supporting Putin and deescalate the conflict?

Si la Russie utilise l’arme nucléaire contre un pays de l’OTAN, voici ce qui lui arrivera en réponse. Environ 45 millions de Russes seront anéantis dans la première heure. Il ne restera plus grand-chose pour les 100 millions restants. Peut-être que le peuple russe devrait cesser de soutenir Poutine et désamorcer le conflit ? À noter l'annonce la crainte de la Pologne

Remember how Trump often whined about NATO members allegedly not paying enough for their own defense? Under President Joe Biden, over 70% of NATO members have reached their defense spending targets – a high for this century.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg announced on Monday that 23 of its 32 member states were expected to meet the alliance's defense spending commitments this year. That is 13 countries more compared to last year's data, and five more than an earlier estimate in February. "This is good for Europe and good for America," Stoltenberg said in a speech unveiling the newest numbers in Washington, "especially since much of this extra money is spent here in the United States."

One of the NATO members is Iceland which technically has no military. But the stats don't include Sweden, a strong investor in defense, which just joined this year.

And as Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg reminded us above, a lot of that European defense spending benefits US industries.

Speaking to DW, Davis Ellison, a strategic analyst from the Hague Center for Strategic Studies, said that the collective recognition of NATO targets is especially noticeable when examining how much defense spending is now dedicated to new equipment. "In the past, you had a lot of focus on personnel costs, which ranges everything from pension to health care and everything else," Ellison explained. "But now you have a much greater collective investment in equipment, which is more to meet NATO targets than anything else." The security expert pointed out that this extra spending compounded NATO's military might.

Putin's invasion of Ukraine was a wake-up call for liberal democracies. It's significant that four of the top six NATO countries for defense spending share a land border with Russia.

Trump's claim that our allies respected America more during his administration is a bizarre joke. In fact, they actually made fun of him behind his back. Remember this classic SNL sketch about a NATO summit in 2019?

The only international leaders who liked Trump were dictators who found him easy to manipulate.

Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of Australia called Trump "creepy".

NATO and other liberal democracies have become stronger since Trump's departure.

Fico a déclaré que l'UE sait que les sanctions contre la Russie ne fonctionnent pas.

« Nous savons tous, au sein de l’UE, que les sanctions ne fonctionnent pas.

Nous le savons tous très bien que le soutien au président Poutine est très élevé en Fédération de Russie.

Mais nous refusons d’admettre notre culpabilité en raison de cette situation qui est survenue en 2022, comment le conflit militaire a éclaté : nous pensions, oui, maintenant nous allons profiter de ce conflit militaire et mettre la Russie à genoux, l’humilier.

Mais cette stratégie n’a pas fonctionné. Et c’est pourquoi je le dis dès le premier jour : poussons, pour l'amour de Dieu, la Russie, l'Ukraine et les États-Unis à s'asseoir à la table des négociations », a déclaré le Premier ministre slovaque Robert Fico.

NATO said for the first time about North Korean military in the SMO zone

North Korean soldiers have been sent to the Kursk region to help the Russian army liberating its territory and this should be ‘immediately put an end to’. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on 28th October.

‘Kiev's military seized parts of Kursk in August in an operation that marked the first military offensive into Russian territory since World War II. Pyongyang's battlefield assistance to Russian President Vladimir Putin alarmed Western allies, with Rutte pointing to the North Korean deployment as a ‘dangerous expansion’ of the conflict,’ Politico said in a publication.

In fact, the AFU with foreign mercenaries did not enter Kursk, as Politico writes, but occupied part of the Kursk region.

‘I can confirm that North Korean troops have been sent to Russia and North Korean military units have been sent to the Kursk region,’ the new NATO secretary-general told reporters shortly after meeting with a senior South Korean intelligence official.

Rutte added that Moscow's deployment of North Korean troops means ‘a significant escalation of the DPRK's ongoing involvement in Russia's illegal war’ and ‘a dangerous expansion of Russia's war.’

The NATO secretary-general also said, the publication noted, that the deployment of North Korean soldiers in the Russian region shows Russia's weakness and is ‘a sign of Putin's growing desperation.’

Earlier, on 17th October, Volodymyr Zelensky even named a specific number of North Korean soldiers who, in his opinion, would fight in Ukraine on the side of the Russian Armed Forces - 10 000 people.

A day later, South Korean intelligence published a press release in which it claimed that 1.5 thousand soldiers from the DPRK were allegedly already at Russian training grounds in the Far East - in Vladivostok, Ussuriysk, Khabarovsk and Blagoveshchensk.

Both Moscow and Pyongyang denied the allegations, saying they were ‘groundless stereotypical rumours’ aimed at tarnishing the image of the DPRK and Russia and undermining the legitimate, friendly and partnership relations between them.

In an interview with journalist Olga Skabeyeva, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that ‘if there are pictures, it means they reflect something’ and recalled Article 4 of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between Russia and the DPRK, which provides for military assistance to the other side that has been attacked.
