China is deporting all of the NK labor as their visas expire. Guess we know where Putin will be getting his NK volunteers from.. China demands North Korean workers return, income hit for Kim's regime (msn.com) China has demanded that North Korean authorities take back all of their citizens working in China, reported the South Korean agency Yonhap, citing anonymous sources. This decision means a reduction in the income of Kim Jong Un's regime. While the North Korean authorities wanted to withdraw their citizens gradually, Beijing demanded that Pyongyang take back all workers whose visas are expiring, claims an anonymous Yonhap source. The agency notes that China is seen as the main "cash cow" for the North Korean regime, which is struggling to obtain foreign currency due to international sanctions. The UN Security Council obligated all member states in 2017 to send back North Korean workers by the end of 2019 to cut off the regime from hard currency income. However, it is estimated that tens of thousands, and perhaps even hundreds of thousands, of such individuals remain in China and Russia.

Used to be they would take you into an almost dark room, strap you into a single wooden chair. One KGB would start talking while a second walks up from behind and shoots you in the back of the head. If I recall correctly the weapon of choice was the Russian version of the 22. I guess they want to save ammo for Ukraine, as you mention, a free fall off a high balcony seems to be the method of choice lately. Is this not correct Duggar?

First F-16 Jet Fighters on Their Way to Ukraine, U.S. and Allies Say - WSJ WASHINGTON—The first of more than 60 American-made F-16 jet fighters are on their way to Ukraine and will be flying later this summer, the U.S., Dutch and Danish governments said Wednesday.
Let the Falcons fly, and let the Felons fall where they may. (Not likely, since the Russians are afraid to field their Felons for fear of fortuitous failure.)
As a Putin bot, I just don’t want the U.S. to deploy the venerable F-22 to Ukraine. It can shoot down a weather balloon and it only takes two tries.
they desperately need them, hopefully Ukraine initially slow-rolls them. it would be awful PR if they get knocked out the first few days. Especially for future deliveries. F16s can help with air defense if nothing else. Expensive use of them but better that than Russia blowing up children’s hospitals.

The plot was one of a series of Russian plans to assassinate defense industry executives across Europe who were supporting Ukraine’s war effort, these sources said. The plan to kill Armin Papperger, a white-haired goliath who has led the German manufacturing charge in support of Kyiv, was the most mature. ....... The series of plots, not previously reported, helps explain the increasingly strident warnings from NATO officials about the seriousness of the sabotage campaign — one that some senior officials believe risks crossing the threshold into armed conflict in eastern Europe ........ We’re seeing sabotage, we’re seeing assassination plots, we’re seeing arson. We’re seeing things that have a cost in human lives,” a senior NATO official told reporters on Tuesday. “I believe very much that we’re seeing a campaign of covert sabotage activities from Russia that have strategic consequences.”
