Definitely. The thing to be scared about is what is Putin giving North Korea in return. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

Definitely guidance systems, better ground to air systems, cyberwarfare capabilities, etc. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

| DRich Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 57 Posts: 5896 | There are lots of whispers going around now that NATO is willing to let Ukraine apply for membership if they negotiate with Russia to call a stalemate with current borders as they are currently occupied. This might be the best case scenario for Ukraine at this point. Russia may also accept it because they want to get out of the war too and they could save a little face by saying look at the areas of Ukraine we have conquered.

I don’t see anything big happening until after our Presidential election. Ukrainians are probably following our election closer than some of our citizens. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

No way it happens before the election. Even the negotiating process will probably take months if it does happen. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

| DRich Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 57 Posts: 5896 | It appears North Korea is sending lots of troops to Russia presumably to fight in Ukraine. When this was first announced I assumed it was a rather small group of less than 10,000. Now it appears like it may be a lot more and this may finally get NATO directly involved. I can also envision South Korea getting involved. This is getting very exciting. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

That might be worse than being a Russian prisoner at the front lines. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |
