Along with predictions that we're set to have the coldest winter since 1983 this year, we have unsettling reports of Israel getting ready to destroy the Iranian regime once and for all, and North Korean troops being sent to fight alongside the Russians in the Ukraine. :(

Is the day of reckoning for the Islamic Republic of Iran finally here?​


North Korea joins war in Ukraine​

On another message board, far far away, a longtime friend of mine posted that his grandson's National Guard Unit has been deployed to Israel for the next year.

North Korean troops take selfies with Russians as they join frontline to fight for Putin​


North Korean soldiers were caught on camera striking poses with Russian forces, joining the fray to support Vladimir Putin's military efforts.

Recently surfaced footage shows members of the Russian military using selfie sticks to capture cheerful moments alongside North Korean servicemen.

This visual evidence emerged just hours after US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin disclosed signs that troops from the DPRK have been dispatched to assist Russia, reports the Mirror UK.

He labeled the situation a "very, very serious issue" and hinted at potential repercussions if they were to enter the Ukrainian conflict on the side of Moscow.

Because this article was written by Gordon Chang, I share it:

China is preparing a direct attack to destroy America​


There has been a marked increase in Chinese nationals attempting to enter American military facilities in recent years. This month, federal authorities announced that they had charged five for allegedly misleading investigators and conspiring to clear their phones after they had been confronted in the dark near Michigan’s remote Camp Grayling in August 2023. Last year, it was reported that Chinese citizens intruded into the Army’s Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska. There, they drove past a base gate and were later apprehended with a drone inside their car. In 2020, several Chinese nationals were sentenced for illegally surveilling the naval air station in Key West, Florida.

But the problem could get considerably worse. “Tens of thousands of military-age men have come across our border and are now in America,” Blaine Holt, a retired Air Force general, told me in February. Among them, he believes, will be state actors, including from China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

Indeed, representative Mark Green (R-Tenn), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said at a press conference in June last year that, based on his conversation with a Border Patrol sector chief, some of the Chinese migrants at the southern border have “known ties to the PLA”. “We have no idea who these people are, and it’s very likely, using Russia’s template of sending military personnel into Ukraine, China is doing the same into the United States,” said Green.

There can surely be little question that China’s PLA is exploiting the southern border crisis, in an attempt to insert its agents through Mexico. And perhaps Canada as well. In February, Border Patrol apprehended three Chinese nationals attempting to enter the United States under the cover of darkness. A fourth Chinese national was arrested on the US side, apparently there to pick them up by prearrangement.

Once here, China’s military-age men would be able to link up with those already in place. The concern must be that, on the first day of war in Asia, Chinese agents will attempt to take down America’s power lines, poison reservoirs, assassinate officials, start wildfires, and create terror by bombing shopping malls and supermarkets.

And perhaps even worse than that. In March 2023, federal and state agencies raided an “unlicensed laboratory” in the city of Reedley, California and found evidence suggesting a biological warfare campaign. A congressional committee later established that the lab had ties to the People’s Republic of China.

The facility contained lab mice – 773 live and more than 175 dead – that were genetically engineered to mimic the human immune system. Authorities also found chemical, viral, and biological agents. There were on site at least 20 potentially infectious pathogens including those causing coronavirus, HIV, and herpes. Investigators also found what appeared to be the pathogen for Ebola.

North Korean troops enter Ukraine in 'dangerous expansion' of war, NATO says​


North Korean troops have been dispatched to help Russia in its war against Ukraine, NATO confirmed Monday.

Kim Jong-un's soldiers have been deployed to Russia's Kursk region, where it is fighting a Ukrainian incursion, which has surged fears about global war.

"Today, I can confirm that North Korean troops have been sent to Russia, and that North Korean military units have been deployed to the Kursk region," NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte told the press.

Rutte said the move is "a significant escalation" and marks "a dangerous expansion of Russia's war."

The warning came after a high-level South Korean delegation, including top intelligence and military officials as well as senior diplomats, briefed the alliance's 32 national ambassadors at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

The Democrats did all of this.

Taking Trump out and trying to undermine him has had consequences world wide.
If Trump doesn't win, they're going to continue marching us right into WWIII ...

Ukraine attacks North Koreans​


For the first time, Ukrainian troops are confronted by North Korean soldiers. The battle took place in Russia, in the area of the Kursk Oblast, under Ukrainian control.

Andri Kovalenko, a member of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, announced on Telegram that Ukrainian soldiers had attacked North Korean troops. This is the first time that a confrontation has taken place with soldiers from North Korea. The operation took place at the Kursk border. We have no further details on possible losses and the outcome of the attack. To help Russia, North Korea sent about 10,000 soldiers to Russia and began taking action this weekend. For the time being, this army remains on Russian territory, near the border with Ukraine.

Sounds like the crazy little fat man in North Korea is itching for a fight, and so he sends proxy soldiers to fight in a war that has nothing to do with him, the same way that the Nazis sent troops to Spain in 1936.

If he actually does go to war with the West, however (providing the West is still in a condition to fight after the results of the American presidential election tomorrow) he may find that his two million-man armed forces will be more or less castrated in the face of a fullisade of ICBMs, SLBMs, drones, and high-altitude bombings from the United States and its allies.

Or, as the South Korean defense secretary said a few days ago, "The day that North Korea attacks South Korea will be the day that North Korea will cease to exist."

Following North Korea, another country wants to help Putin with 80,000 soldiers​

Chechen Republic President, Ramzan Kadyrov, to send volunteers to fight alongside Russian army.

A few days ago, Russian drones struck a Russian military school in Chechnya.

Chechen leader, Ramzam Kadyrov, responded to the attack with statements on his Telegram account. He said that he used Ukrainian prisoners of war as human shields, and said that up to ten Ukrainian detainees are being placed in every strategic facility in the republic, including the Russian Special Forces University. These allegations come as the Geneva Convention formally prohibits this practice.

As a result, Kadyrov announces that he will send 80,000 volunteers to the Ukrainian front to help Russia:

"In the near future, we will show the Ukrainians a response that will surpass their imagination. We will not let them joke with us. Today, I gave all front-line commanders the following orders. Do not take prisoners. Destroy them and give more than 100 percent in combat so that they understand how the Chechens can still show their military capability."

According to military experts, Kadyrov's troops are inexperienced and would only swell the ranks as "cannon fodder."

WWIII Watch: Biden Reportedly Approves Ukraine Long-Range Missile Strikes in Russia Before Trump Comes to Power​

Outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden has reportedly approved the use of long-range American missiles by Ukraine to strike within the Russian mainland, in a move which may escalate the conflict two months before President-Elect Donald Trump comes into office with a mandate to seek a peace settlement.

According to reports from the Democrat-aligned Washington Post and New York Times newspapers, both citing unnamed U.S. officials, lame-duck President Joe Biden has lifted restrictions barring Ukraine from using American Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles to strike targets within Russia.

The Biden White House previously approved the use of ATACMS by Kyiv to strike Russian targets within Ukrainian territory, including Russian-occupied lands such as Crimea, which was illegally annexed by Moscow under the Obama administration in 2014. The Biden administration had also approved the use of shorter-range American missiles for limited cross-border strikes within Russia.

However, President Biden had been hesitant to permit the Ukrainians to use ATACMS within Russia for fear of escalating the conflict, with reported concerns over the world’s largest nuclear power potentially using more powerful weapons within Ukraine, Moscow increasing assistance to American adversaries such as the Islamist regime in Iran or to the Houthi terrorists in Yemen in their quest to disrupt global shipping.

The apparent about-face from the Biden administration may be seen as an attempt to undermine peace efforts by incoming President Donald Trump, who has already embarked upon unofficial diplomatic efforts to fulfil his promise of negotiating an end to the war.

It's very hard for me not to share the concern that MTG and Don Jr. have about this latest 'Biden' move ...

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump Jr accuse Biden of trying to start WWIII with Ukraine missiles move​

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump Jr have accused President Joe Biden of trying to start World War III after he gave Ukraine the green light to use US-supplied long-range supersonic missiles to strike inside Russia for the first time.

The Biden administration’s granting of Kyiv’s request to use the ATACMS missiles outside of its own borders marks a change in stance in the president’s final days in office, before President-elect Donald Trump – who has indicated he will limit US support for Ukraine – returns to the White House in January.

The MAGA representative and Donald Trump’s eldest son lashed out at Biden’s decision in fiery posts on X.

“On his way out of office, Joe Biden is dangerously trying to start WWIII by authorizing Ukraine the use of U.S. long range missiles into Russia,” Greene, who is among the Republicans who want to cut US aid to Ukraine, posted on Sunday.

“The American people gave a mandate on Nov 5th against these exact America last decisions and do NOT want to fund or fight foreign wars.

She concluded: “We want to fix our own problems. Enough of this, it must stop.”

Trump Jr – who last week told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that his “allowance” is up now that Trump is returning to the White House – accused Biden of attempting to tarnish his father’s legacy by placing the US on the brink of conflict before he takes office.

“The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives,” Trump Jr said.
