    Ghost Ships

    Juche necromancy works on ships?

    A dormant North Korean port near the border with Russia has sprung back to life

    and ports?

    the anemic economy managed by Kim Jong Un.

    all by himself?

    “Pyongyang’s decision to deliver munitions at scale once again underscores the grave threat that North Korea poses to international security, this time feeding a conflagration on European soil that has already cost the lives of tens of thousands of Ukrainians and consumed tens of billions of dollars in Western military support,” according to a report by the Royal United Services Institute, a UK security think tank.

    This is the racism and hypocrisy that no one can stand. Why is NATO sending weapons okay but not DPRK?

    “The give-and-take between the two countries is unlikely to be stopped so long as the international consequences — sanctions, reputational shaming — remain symbolic and largely insufficient to deter bad behavior,” she said.

    More racism and chauvinism. She is really high on her supply.

      consumed tens of billions of dollars in Western military support,

      The way this is phrased disturbs me. Consumed. The war simply consumed all the western money spent on it. Don’t think about who is funneling all this money or where it is coming from. The money simply is, and it is being consumed due to the actions of the enemy.

      The funniest thing about how the west claims that everything in the DPRK is done by Kim Jong Un is that if it were actually true, maybe he’d actually deserve the acclaim and praise that the west says he gets? If he is capable of running a country of millions entirely by himself, that’s pretty damn good effort.

        The logic only works because they ascribe the same power to Western leaders but (a) that’s okay because liberals don’t use their power in an ‘authoritarian’ or ‘totalitarian’ way and (b) they’re unwilling to self-crit.

    Oh darn, the clickbait is about transponders rather than the spectre of communism. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s made-up narrative flourish.

    While satellite imagery shows steady activity at Najin, the vessels docking there appear to have turned off international maritime transponders that give their location, effectively turning them into ghost ships as they make the relatively short trip between Najin and Dunay — also written as Dunai — about 180 kilometers (110 miles) away.

    Potemkin village, clearly. North Koreans are forbidden from even thinking about the ocean, lest it lead them to thoughts of escaping from their authoritorian regime!

    Ukraine is becoming the Russian version of China’s “but at what cost”.

    “Russian scientists find a cure to cancer, putting Ukraine cancer research in peril”
