So the BRICS summit was really the "RICS summit". I think we can lure the North Koreans to defect to us by droning them tons of Choco Pies with a note in Korean to surrender to Ukraine if they want more. I am not being flippant, it might actually work. Google this headline below....
North Korean soldier who defected has been granted Choco Pies for life — a snack Kim Jong Un hates
With the West v Eastern Ukraine thing, I've lived here for a decade, my wife and I have been displaced twice & lost 2 homes in Donetsk Oblast (Makiivka in 2014 and Pokrovsk). For starters, there were a lot of people with bad attitudes to Ukraine even back in 2014 when I was in the DNR in Makiivka, re-integrating these people will not be a walk in the park. Some are just ambivalent, even one of my wife's own cousins & friends still stuck there. I'd like my Pokrovsk home back TBH. But I am not Ukrainian , only a permanent resident. A lot of the soldiers are just tired and want the war to stop, other's think the fight must go on. Rotation is a huge problem. Look, everyone, all the pundits on our side say the same thing (even Jake) - "A pause will let Russia re-arm and try again". - but maybe it's time to see it the other way around, maybe our tired soldiers who are sick of fighting need a pause and Ukraine can re-arm and be ready. It really should be up to the heroes and defenders here doing the fighting not those of us sitting at home. Anyway that's my 2c worth based on being here a decade mostly near the war zone.
