The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!

-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Russia reminds me of the black knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. He has all his limbs cut off by Arthur, to the point where he's just a useless torso perched on the ground. But he's still defiantly insulting Arthur and looking for a fight.
Well, yeah, he only suffered a scratch.
tis but a flesh wound
Someone should make a meme with putins head on the torso :-)
"You'll regret it!!"
Probably icbm tech or something, it's pretty much all they have left.
Legitimate question, is Russia still able to get all the materials required to make nuclear ICBMs?
Yes. The have the material resources and china hasn’t said no the them yet, so they have the technical resources.
Or is North Korea if they just get the technology and not the parts?
I mean the first ICBM test was launched in 1957. This isn't exactly cutting-edge stuff and they still fuck it up at present.
ICBM is old tech but it has advanced a ton over the decades. It is insane how accurately the US can lob a nuke across the Pacific and hit a designated test target.
The new Russian ones are supposed to dodge interceptors at their final stage and fly crazy fast.

The war in Ukraine has proven that what they say they can do and what they can actually do, militarily speaking, is vastly different. I'd be surprised at this point if a russian ICBM isn't just a homing pidgeon with a grenade strapped to it.
The difference between what Russian tech is "supposed" to do and what it actually does has been, historically speaking, significant. I'll believe this if they manage to credibly get one single munition past a Patriot emplacement or past Aegis. Until then it's all talk.
North Korea can't even successfully launch satellites most of the time. I don't think they'll be able to do much with Russian ICBM technology if they can't do something that Russia has been able to do since 1957.
Yeah they could well do a tech transfer of some older models
Bro NK is currently Arming Russia they don't have shit.
Putin gave NK one fancy luxury Russian car. Does that count?
Omg! This will end the world XD
This is about nukes. Reading comprehension not your thing?
Its not just about nukes and NK already has nukes.
With what weapons asshole.... Are you going to give North Korea back the weapons that you just desperately needed from them.... Piss off you mental midget
Nuclear weapons...
They already have them and they already have ICBMs
I mean have them and have working "them" are entirely different monsters.
Russian nukes don't work either. They are over 50 years old and have been maintained almost exclusively by notorious black market scalpers. All of the rocket fuels, guidance system parts and detonation components on the black market in the last several decades have come from Russian systems.
If any of them would successfully launch, they would likely not make it to their target. If any of them made it to their target, they likely would not detonate. If any of them detonated, they would likely be duds.
Putin is a toothless saber rattler who needs to be Putdown.
Yes, please send those weapons back to NK lol
Kim be like "3 days to Seoul"
Saying things out in the open that have long been shadow policy. Remember it was Russia and China that helped push SK troops out of NK when the war was hot 70 years ago. The hermit kingdom continues to exist because of aid from those countries.
For a long time the world was mostly aligned that more nuclear armed countries added risk, slowing proliferation, but there’s a reason the great powers key allies somehow seemed to still implement successful nuclear programs.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A key U.S. ally fired warning shots Friday — live ones to repel North Korean soldiers and a diplomatic volley to counter Russian President Vladimir Putin, as tensions rise after his new mutual defense pact with Kim Jong Un.
South Korea, which has so far only provided non-lethal aid to Ukraine, said it was considering arming Kyiv in response to a newly forged alliance between Moscow and Pyongyang reminiscent of the Cold War that has alarmed officials in the West.
Seoul summoned the Russian ambassador Georgy Zinoviev on Friday, with South Korea's foreign ministry issuing a statement demanding that “Russia immediately stop military cooperation with North Korea.” The ministry added that the Kremlin’s support threatens its security and violates U.N. Security Council resolutions.
While Seoul has described the crossings as unintentional, commercial satellite imagery obtained by NBC News showed a new wall-like barrier being erected in the past months along portions of the North Korean side of the demarcation zone (DMZ), which is a 2.5 miles thick buffer zone, half on each side of the border line.
"North Koreans are building wall sections, not a continuous wall across the entire DMZ," Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul, told NBC News.Border tensions have been escalating for a while, with South Korea resuming aerial surveillance near the boundary and declaring null parts of the 2018 military accords.
Following that exchange, Kim suspended the accords altogether, restoring guard posts along and sending trash-filled balloons over the border.
