This could get very interesting.
By the way, the K2 tanks purchased by Poland are beginning to arrive (have been since February).

Forgive the minor injection of American politics here, but it's germane to the thread, and bipartisan to boot. If it is afoul moderator views, delete it as you will. No partisanship is intended with this, nor will I engage in any:
Two days after Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a new defense agreement, Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) introduced a bill to declare Russia a state sponsor of terror.
Holding up a photo of Kim and Putin to start off the press conference unveiling the bill, Blumenthal said, "Exhibit A. I rest my case."
Blumenthal described the photo of Putin and Kim as depicting "two of the most autocratic, atrocity-committing leaders in the world standing together."
He also said the message sent by the U.S. labeling Russia a state sponsor of terrorism was as important as increased sanctions from the designation.
"This message to the world is as important in a moral sense as any practical consequence. Russia deserves to be in this small selective club of atrocity-committing killers," the Democrat said.
Graham introduced a Senate resolution during the last Congress to declare Russia a state sponsor of terrorism. That resolution passed the Senate, but it was nonbinding, only calling on the secretary of State to make the distinction himself.
The bill introduced Thursday would require the State Department to classify Russia as a state sponsor of terror, which would unlock a new set of sanctions, restrict any U.S.-based foreign aid, and severely curtail immunity for Russia from suits in the U.S.
If the bill passes, U.S. nationals could sue a state sponsor of terror for offenses like torture, extrajudicial killing and hostage-taking.
If those lawsuits prevail, plaintiffs could get compensation from the sanctioned nation's seized assets.
I say it's past goddamned time, myself.

Hellova bold move by Washington.
And it's not all that far fetched, since Russia has been committing acts of terrorism since 2022 and there's a warrant out for Putin.

Not a good choice but maybe unavoidable:

Uncle Vlad is unhappy with that new and may could stir some problems for the RoK from the north. Maybe the timing for the heated rethoric from Kim is no coincidence. We are a couple of days away from the 74th aniversary from the start of the korean War.

The bold move to divert missiles planned to foreign buyers is great for Ukraine, but it may not be viewed as positively by some customers.

South Korean Arms For Ukraine Would Be A Huge Deal And Putin Knows It
There are signs that South Korea might overturn its ban on weapons deliveries to Ukraine, which has prompted a dark warning from Putin.

It's completely appropriate after the massacre at Buchin and the other murderous violations visited upon Ukrainian civilians. I just wish we had done this earlier in order to underline the butchery the Russian forces have visited upon their victims.
I don't see it as bold. I see it as belated. Anyone with one working eye could see that what the Russians are doing is replete with war-crime operations. I'm just glad that our Congress may actually have to take up the matter, though I'm sure there are a few useful idiots who will try to plug the path.

DPRK, while flying 35 MiG-29s, is still flying MiG-21s and -23s, MiG-19 and -17 derivatives, Sukhoi Su-7s, and Ilyushin I-28s.
I haven't checked into DPRK's army order of battle, but I can say with some certainty that they will lose control of the air in a day or two of combat. If Kim is going to stir the pot, he's gonna need a bigger spoon.

I agree that it is very belated.
By me saying it's a bold move, is indicating that those assclowns are actually doing something constructive for the better good for all.
All Ukraine has ever asked, is that we support them while they're doing the heavy lifting. If we fail them, not only will their blood be on our hands, but we will eventually have to power-check the Putler with our own people and it will be a far messier affair.
