Re-authorize? It was ever unauthorised?

And house ants

Not putting mosquitos in D? We will have some words, comrade

In totalitären RuZZia you get five years for embezzlement of government funds.

I'm free, democratic Japan you get five years for modding a game and minor scamming

Jfc they're going to kill us with a software error on something nuclear aren't they

Tbh I don't think it wasn't done early out of goodness of the heart. I'm sure you remember strikes at substations around Kiev before winter. Frankly I suspect it was for the same reason that railways, bridges and resource extraction infrastructure (such as ammonia pipelines) weren't targeted - Russian capital wanted them. Now it's clear western "partners" would rather it all burns, so they go ahead

"Decommunisation" continues

My layman ass is imagining that if the shells are of the same calibre, it should work out.

See, my layman ass thought much the same, but then AFU began reporting issues with using nato shells with nato guns, despite calibre being standardised.

DPRK is sending old soviet shells to the Russians who are then using old soviet surplus artillery to fire them

This I would be more inclined to believe. However this implies:

1. That DPRK is confident enough in their ability to either replenish their stocks or obtain new weapons quick enough so as it doesn't become a problem

2. That Russian military has either ran out of their own soviet made shells or can't replenish them quick enough (the latter I could believe tbh, given how much damage has been and is still being done to our industrial capacity)

3. Those shells and weapons, despite being 30+ years old, are still not only functional, but quite effective

There are just so many factors here that if it somehow turns out to be true, I'll have no choice but to eat my hat. Because boi!

Sure, could be. Except the article is specifically talking about ballistic missiles. And again - are we supposed to believe that shells, made in DPRK nowadays are compatible with the guns and launchers used by Russia? Solely because they're based off of the same soviet mould?

You really think that they read Mein Kampf

Doubt it, but possible. Most likely they were told an "abridged version", so to speak.

felt that Lebensraum was a good idea

Sure. How do you think Russia got so big?

felt elated at being described as subhuman?

Just like the modern nazis in Ukraine, they likely thought it wasn't about them. Blamed it on the Jews and godless commies (who were either Jews or manipulated by Jews). Here you'll say it's just supposition, but here's the thing, I live in Russia, and I had the displeasure of knowing a number of Neonazis personally. Classmates and such, you know how it is with groups you can't leave. That was basically their shtick. And those historical collaborators that weren't actual, fervent nazis, they thought they were liberating ol Vaterland from the ebil judeobolsheviks. Just look at the amount of "former" tsarist officers and aristocrats that had gone on to collaborate with the nazis.

Yeeeeaaah that shit sounds like a whole lot of projection.

sprawling US Army Garrison Humphreys

First: screw this style of journalist writing. Second: who tf hears "sprawling foreign army garrison" and thinks "Oh yes it's great and totally not weird"?

The US will be deploying missile systems with mid-range capability to the Indo-Pacific region soon,

Toldja, projection.

The North Korean missiles sent so far are similar in size and flight dynamics to Russia’s Iskander series, weapons experts have said

Could it be that gasp those WERE iskander missiles?! Nah, can't be. Must be perfidious Axis of Evil somehow making their weapon systems more interchangeable and easier to mix than the vaunted NATO "standardisation".

showed that the US Patriot air defense system has so far been largely effective in countering Russia’s missiles

"The enemy is both weak and strong", etc. If your "patriot" system is soo good and effective, why are you afraid? Surely they'd just shoot down whatever inferior garage junk them orcs cobbled together from pipes and houseware chips?

sending massive amounts of munitions to Russia, which are interoperable with the Soviet-era systems being used in Ukraine.

See my earlier point. There hasn't been a soviet union for over thirty years. Iskander system was developed after USSR was destroyed. The fuck kinda "interoperability" you are babbling about? Heck, if they said it was magically interoperable with the Tochka-U system, I still would call bs, but would at least have an area of plausibility. Heck, they could have even done some further smearing and claim that was the missile used to strike the market in Donetsk - since that one was a Tochka-U, and was blamed on Russia (despite, ya know, all the evidence).

Garbage article. You should feel bad for hurting my eyes with it, Yogthos

Does it make them any less nazi?
