WASHINGTON — Russia is buying millions of artillery shells and rockets from North Korea, according to newly declassified American intelligence, a sign that global sanctions have severely restricted its supply chains and forced Moscow to turn to pariah states for military supplies.

The disclosure comes days after Russia received initial shipments of Iranian-made drones, some of which American officials said had mechanical problems. U.S. government officials said Russia’s decision to turn to Iran, and now North Korea, was a sign that sanctions and export controls imposed by the United States and Europe were hurting Moscow’s ability to obtain supplies for its army.

The United States provided few details from the declassified intelligence about the exact weaponry, timing or size of the shipment, and there is no way yet to independently verify the sale. A U.S. official said that, beyond short-range rockets and artillery shells, Russia was expected to try to purchase additional North Korean equipment going forward.

“The Kremlin should be alarmed that it has to buy anything at all from North Korea,” said Mason Clark, who leads the Russia team at the Institute for the Study of War.

Mr brainlessexcel,

Tell me which Special master that Criminal trump will call out that will get top clearance from the DOJ to access ANOTHER COUNTRIES NUCLEAR SECRETS not to talk of the United States nuclear details!

You must be one daft dodo to think it will just be a breeze for the Criminal trump.

Obrigardo:
Criminal trump needs to be arrested right now! I don't understand why he is still a free man holding hate rallies and attacking the Government!

budaatum:
Russia is doing very well, Ben?

A special master is not going to save Criminal trump. Why do you gloat over a scheme by the Criminal to delay the investigation and you call it a win?
Who can be so dumb to think that?

Judge Cannon's decision was very flawed and it will be strucked out in the Court of Appeals.

Why? Because you don't need a Special master when this happens...

obixcel:
I wonder why you had to reply this single post like how many times now? Panic time hahahahahaha

California went heavily into green , Now they are begging people to conserve power as renewables are fluctuating

Propose to ban sale of gas powered engines 2035.
The climate crisis just like the COVID-19 crates tyrants making orders right left and center.
It more looks like saddism to me. Nothing stops them from ordering smart thermostats that can be remotely managed if people floit this advice

Steve Bannon will be indicted in NY state court Thursday, turning himself in.

Charges are being brought by the Manhattan DA and are expected to parallel the federal charges for which Trump pardoned Bannon — around the “Build the Wall” fraudulent scam.

*Grifters Unite*

Obrigardo:
Criminal trump cabinet meetings was so dull and full of self praises, and clickbaits.

But this is the brightest Government Cabinet you've ever seen in recent times. They are beaming with legislative achievements.

This sound like propaganda for you to feed on. Russia has always done business with the Tyrants in Asia. Nothing new. They buy artillery from North Korea, so what? It shows the Sanctions are not really stopping them.

Russia selling them stuff, yes. But Russia buying shells and renting armies from tyrants who are struggling to buy what they need? That's struggling.

Russia will be buying food from starving NK soon and it would indicate sanctions not working, to you.

---clearly Trump is going to put these perfect nuclear documents in his library---perfectly innocent---wonder why 'they' are picking on him---

---The former head of the CIA said the nuclear documents (include info about other countries nuke) found at Trump’s resort are so secretive they are kept in a safe inside the SCIF---not just in the SCIF---in a safe inside the SCIF---

feedthenation:
---Let’s remind ourselves of what 'Vlad the Bad' had achieved---when he decided to start his 'Special Operation' since Feb 24 with the illegal invasion of a Sovereign State ---

* A decimated and humiliated Russian army, that can’t even conquer Ukraine, let alone NATO

* Cultural isolation for Russia, who are now no longer welcome anywhere in the civilised world while his warmongering continues.

* An expanded and united NATO right on your front doorstep - Sweden and Finland

* Turning to the likes of North Korea, Syria, Pakistan for relevance

---Sanctions indeed wrecks lives (majority of ordinary Russian lives), while Putin's oligarchs feeds on plenty--- so does invading and starting a war while committing genocide and war crimes---during war everyone suffers---

---Try to read about the impacts of WW1 and WW2 in Europe---you will understand that sanctions on Russia is one of the best deterrent in the short-term---

Laurence Fox’s embarrassing Hunter Biden movie is a fate worse than ‘cancellation’.
https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/hunter-biden-movie-breitbart-laurence-fox-gina-carano-b2160240.html

Like when one cancels oneself with one's own stupidity and ignorance.

Till today, the MAGA crowd have failed to quote the actual crime Hunter Biden committed. What statutes of the US criminal code are they him accusing of breaking? Sitting on a board of a foreign company is not against US laws. Being a drug addict is not a criminal offence. Patronising prostitutes is also not a crime and definite having an affair with your dead brothers wife is certainly not a crime. What exactly do they want FBI to investigate?
They tried to blackmail Ukraine to investigate Biden (for a crime they did not even specify) Zelensky refused, as he was not interested in getting involved with US politics. They are now blackmailing the FBI to investigate his laptop. A laptop allegedly stolen from his repairer.

These MAGAs are something else. They behave like mindless demons.

I don't see the sense in what you and budaatum is going on for.

Russia has been struggling to gain grounds in UKraine, they have taken some land but its not without serious cost.

He makes it sound like Russia buying artillery from N. Korea is a sign of sanctions working or is a sign that sanctions are not working?

They can always easily bypass sanctions these days.

saxywale2:
Whether they jail Hunter or not, we did not vote for Hunter in 2020 and definitely not voting for hunter in th future.

basilico:
Its not the question of Hunter being on the ballot. If he got illegal proceeds which he shared with Joe, it would make Joe highly compromised by the china man I think.
Later I wil list all favours Joe has offered to China - Looks like he is compromised. A simple example he severely reduces fossil fuels over a non existent climate crisis and want people to use solar panels. Made in China.

Crude Oil is at $85 today after China demand slowed 9% YoY in August

Most commodities are slowing down

Those predicting $300 crude may end up defending $50 with the way the world is tightening

He is under tax fraud investigation.

Hunter Biden may face charges for transporting hookkers across state lines.

Foreign lobbying without registering
150 of his foreign transactions were flagged by the bank - specifically from Ukraine, China and Russia.

saxywale2:
Countries that rely solely on crude are in for some wotowoto.

basilico:
Do you ever see Trump supporters dwelling 24/7 on Joe Biden and his corruption? If Trump is indicted how does that help you?

Does this sound like a patriot or a villain?
