The Russian war economy’s days are numbered

Russia Is on a Slow Path to Bankruptcy, But How Slow?

Hate to mention this but US debt is in the trillions , I think right now. And are currency is suffering from lots of inflation . And its our current gov. way of making the books look like they are balanced..
Russia will probably be doing the same quantatative easing ( inflation thing) too. As they are working with 4 other countries to undermine the "Dollar" as the Worlds reserve currency ..... Not a good circumstance for the US Dollar.
just a FYI .

Kim Jong Un to send Putin 12,000 soldiers, South Korea says; U.S. warns they'll be 'fair game'

Quote:
Some 12,000 North Korean troops will be sent to Russia, a key United States ally said Thursday, vowing it “will not stand by and do nothing” in the face of this significant “provocation.”

The new estimate, shared with NBC News by South Korea’s defense ministry, comes after the United States joined Seoul and Kyiv in confirming the development and said any troops deployed against Ukraine will be “fair game.”

Pyongyang is expected to augment Russia’s military with its own sizable contingent of special forces, military engineers, and artillery troops, South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun reported to lawmakers Thursday, his office told NBC News. The total number is expected to reach 12,000, he said, with 3,000 deployed already.

That matches Washington’s assessment.

“They’re fair game” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters Wednesday, saying that the U.S. believes at least 3,000 North Korean soldiers have already arrived in eastern Russia by sea. The soldiers moved earlier this month and are receiving training at multiple Russian military bases, Kirby said.

“They're fair targets and the Ukrainian military will defend themselves against North Korean soldiers the same way they’re defending themselves against Russian soldiers,” he said. “There could be dead and wounded North Korean soldiers fighting against Ukraine.”

What exactly they’re doing is left to be seen,” Austin told reporters in Rome.

But U.S. allies were in little doubt.

North Korean soldiers were being disguised as Russians and were acting under the Kremlin’s command instead of their own, the South Korean defense minister told lawmakers Thursday, which he said suggested “Kim Jong Un is selling North Korean soldiers as cannon fodder mercenaries.”

Still, integrating the two militaries will not be easy and will likely be complicated by their different languages, experts say, though the prospect of North Korea’s inexperienced military bringing back critical battleground experience has worried officials in Seoul.

“North Korea’s dispatch of the troops to Russia is a provocation that is threatening the security of the Korean peninsula,” South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said Thursday. “South Korea will not stand by and do nothing,” Yoon’s office said in a statement.

For more than two years, South Korea has only provided non-lethal assistance to Ukraine, but Yoon on Wednesday said Seoul would now consider providing Kyiv with both defensive and offensive weapons.

Meanwhile, China, which borders both Russia and North Korea and has developed increasingly close ties with both amid its rivalry with the West, has called for a peaceful settlement of the war.

What I find more disturbing is that Trump being a candidate for POTUS is friends with both Kim and Putin and there are alot of Americans that this doesn't seem to bother

I hope Europe has a plan for what happens when the USA switches sides in the war in Ukraine. They need to start treating this like there's a major war in Europe, because there is a major war in Europe, and the USA isn't going to be on their side in this one.
