Russian invasion of Ukraine

I imagine that it's a way to get their hands on Chinese weapons thorough a third party pariah state whilst allowing China some sort of deniability ?

Good point, and beggers can't be choosers.

I’m just suggesting waving a flag whose predecessors assisted the Nazis isn’t a good look. Especially when you are being accused of being Nazis, hypocritically by a nation who were allied to the actual Nazis for 2 years.

True, I agree on that point. The look isn't great.

Imagine the so called mighty Russia, the supposed second or third mightiest military in the world having to go begging to the tin pot North Korea for weapons. What a shambles. What a come down.

This isn't the 1st time. they have already done deals for weapons with NK. got loads of Artillery from them before now.

Although searching for it now says it didn't happen, although somewhere in this thread there are photo's of said weapons being captured by Ukrainain forces.

More likely, Russia will use North Korean amunition stock originally made in Russia and North Korea and China will back fill North Korean stock.
This has been going on for months on a small scale, I'm just surprised it hasn't happened on a bigger scale.

No name, no credible source imo. Reads like deliberate misinformation in parts. The stuff you would want to hear if you were part of the Russian government?

Track two talks are common in this type of situation.

This x 100%
We have pussyfooted about for too long. We shouldn’t even be talking to them let alone trading with them or playing sport with them. We should have absolutely nothing to do with them as if they don’t exist. We should also do likewise with Iran, Syria, India, N Korea and any nonce nation who are helping to prop up the Russian fascist regime. Once Putin has gone and put before the courts for war crimes along with his cronies then maybe we can talk.

UAE?
