North Korean missile used in Russia's Kyiv attack contained US components, Zelensky says

The North Korean ballistic missile that Russia fired at Kyiv during its April 24 mass strike contained at least 116 components sourced from multiple countries — most of them made by U.S. companies — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on April 25.

Russia launched 215 missiles and drones across Ukraine during the assault. Many of the weapons targeted Kyiv, killing at least 12 civilians and injuring 87.

The president also warned that modern warfare rapidly implicates broader international networks, saying that no victim of aggression faces a single enemy.

"Any war can quickly involve many different actors… That is why it is so important for defense to be based on collective efforts as well," Zelensky said.

Kyiv has consistently called for increased sanctions on Moscow and its partners and for expedited deliveries of Western air defense systems.

"Ukraine is grateful to everyone around the world who is helping us protect the lives of our people, supplying us with air defense systems and missiles for them," Zelensky added.

It's not hard to believe. It doesn't imply anyone in the USA was selling DIRECT to Russia.

Components can be bought and sold and then re-bought and sold. Its why sanctions will only ever be partially successful.

Oh well, back to my life in America. Not my problem.

It would not terribly surprise me if Zelensky was right. For a long time, certainly these past four years, the military seemed rather lax and opportunistic. Look at the Afghan pullout--- Joe Biden left something like 30-80 billion dollars in brand new military gear of all kinds. Who knows what has been abandoned, lost, stolen, given away or resold and where it all ends up.

Oh he is right, little bits of US tech were found....Thing is everything found can be sourced all over the world.

In World War 1 we Germans delivered grenade igniters to England. Howelse to finance our war against their war on us?

... Joe Biden left something like 30-80 billion dollars in brand new military gear of all kinds. Who knows what has been abandoned, lost, stolen, given away or resold and where it all ends up.

Incidentally, I still don't understand this hasty retreat. We had - and still have - great difficulties with it. I thought at some point there would be an explanation for this hasty withdrawal, but that explanation never came.

... Not my problem.

If god so wills, future attacker of Greenland. And also not the problem of China the future attacker of Taiwan. And all three of you are nuclear superpowers who do not accept the international court. ... Okay forget it. Not your problem. No one's problem. Also not mine. In the future, we will flatten Russia while the world falls upon us. We've already practiced that somehow. Who cares? Everything will end one day - the one or the other way.



The contracts are made
And there was a lot of laughter
And something sweet for dessert

Freedom, freedom

The band [plays] rum-ta-ta
And the Pope was already there
And my neighbor in front

Freedom, freedom
Is the only one missing
Freedom, freedom
Is the only thing that's missing

Unfortunately, man is not naive
Man is unfortunately primitive

Freedom, freedom
Has been canceled again

All who dream of freedom
Should not miss out on celebrating
Should also dance on graves

Freedom, freedom
Is the only thing that counts
Freedom, freedom
Is the only thing that counts

The INTERNATIONAL COURT?

Don't tell me you did not understand what I - and Immanuel Kant - said about this theme up to now, superasshole. Very very short: You have the choice between a peace of the graveyards and a peace in dispute. For a fruitful dispute you need at least for a minimum of political function a kind of referee who decides what's right and who's wrong. Indeed George W. Bush had earned also to be arrested as Putin and other state leaders have earned to be arrested and to be judged. Many leading politicians are mass murderers for vain and evil motives.

Your idea of the future is: Russia, China and the USA are dividing the world among themselves. And what will happen afterwards? Very short and unclear: "farebad mankind".

What is funny in this context? That you like to be a criminal without any risk to be a criminal? What do you think how criminals live and let live? I tell you: like rats. The only difference: Rats live on a higher level of moral.

What is funny?

The idea of people like you, picking a "judge" that could be considered reasonable.

If he was still alive that clown would pick Judge Roland Freisler.

Yep.

Weirdo. The rule of law goes back to the Roman Empire and guaranteed Roman peace. The Babylonian Codex Hammurapi exists since the 18th century BC. What do you want to reinvent? The wheel?

Freisler was no judge and the so called "Volksgerichtshöfe" no courts. This had been terror instruments of the Nazis. It was the exact opposite of the "rule of law" what did happen there.

You laugh yourselve to death, superidiot. The characteristics of the modern rule of law is it that the judiciary is independent of the executive. Freisler and the so called "Volksgerichtshöfe" (="People's Courts") had to do what Hitler said - independent from any law. You can call Freisler "Mr. Lynching".

Try telling his victims he was not a judge.
