Engineering/support was the pretext for all the Chinese, Cubans, Nepalese, etc. that have ended up as frontline cannon fodder. Both Russia and NK are incentivized to downplay it until the troops are already there so I’d remain weary.

But they do have adequate training time as well as a lifetime of experience blindly following the orders of piece of shit leaders so I don’t like where this is going. There needs to be consequences on the table for NK that avoid them flooding Ukraine with tens/hundreds of thousands of soldiers (which would be easy given they have over a million soldiers that don’t have shit to do).
One upshot is they are still gated by equipment requirements. But there is actually a vague possibility that NK just bleeds their army dry in exchange of Jong Un getting a reach around from Putin.
And why do we think they need more weapons to “defend” themselves if they’re threatening to obliterate multiple other countries?
Oh wow… you’re supposed to arrest the leader after a failed coup and not try to elect them as president? Very progressive.
Gotta find plenty of distractions less people wise up and realize Putin is the real enemy of Russians.

Modi not liking election results so now hes exploring his desire for eternal power with the supreme leader of fascist dictator outcasts

Putin pledged military aid to South Korea’s greatest enemy, but then throws a hissy fit when South Korea considers military aid fir Ukraine in response. I’m sick of seeing the world being run by idiotic toddlers.
Surely the appreciate the “authenticity” with which he told them to “go fuck yourselves” before flip-flopping and begging them to come back?
“Go fuck yourself.”
There are so many “annoying” protests that this logic can be applied to that would seem pretty short-sighted in retrospect.
It’s not these people that future generations will think poorly of.
A better way to propose your question is: out of all the millions of people on Earth who hear about these activities, will literally 0 of them take any meaningful action against climate change?
The likelihood of that quite small, suggesting a non-zero value. That non-zero value is likely to be smaller than the damages of water-washable paint.
I’m not advocating for anyone here, but I think that’s the calculus OP was suggesting, and it makes perfect sense to me.
If eye-rolling and annoyance produced greenhouse gases, then it might be a different story.
It’s all going to scammers anyway
Iran would be proud
How many times does Trump need to blatantly lie to people’s faces to convince people he’s a liar? How many porn stars does he need to bang before Christians stop thinking he was sent by Jesus?
The death throes of these regimes will only come when every child is taught critical thinking and can no longer be turned against each other through baseless/lazy manipulation tactics, but even education itself is under attack so none of this is a given.
