reports that POTUS says: 'I’m disappointed with my talk with Putin. I don’t see that he wants to end the war. On Friday, I’ll speak with Zelensky.” It’s time to let UKR defend its skies and defeat the invader.

Visited Pier 21 in Halifax today, this time with my kids. It's a great museum and even more impactful if your family sailed to Canada here like my Mom and her parents did. I looked up their departure records, then, asked gpt to tell me a little about how it would have been for them, the conditions and processing, in the 50s.

My Baba and all my moms side of the family is Ukrainian. So I backtracked a little and mentioned in the prompts she was seized during the war, and, in Dusseldorf in an ammunition factory as slave labour for the Nazis. Gpt indicated I could look up those records online, the Arolsen archives, were a free search tool. And holy #### I found several records for her. I always wondered why she had Poland listed as her nation of birth on her southampton depature record, as I was under the impression she was born in Ukraine since she was... Ukrainian. The nazis record keeping answered this for me, she was born in ethnically Ukrainian Poland, in a town called Leshaniwka in Galicia. Modern day Ukraine, at the time ethnically mixed but primarily Ukrainian (Ruthenian) and some Poles.

It's disturbing going through these records and imagining my Baba, as a teenager, being in Dusseldorf and forced to build shells etc. She would tell us how they'd feed them soup they'd find worms in, and, one lady told her after the war she would be her slave working in her house for her. I sometimes wonder what happened to that woman. I hope she was killed by allied shelling.

And now, there are thousands of refugees again fleeing Ukraine due to war, with Russia again being Russia. What an evil country.

I dunno where else to post this. This seems as good a place as any.

Canada should step up their Ukrainian aid. I am all for it.

Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov told Bloomberg that North Korea now supplies up to 40% of Russia’s ammunition for the war in Ukraine. Pyongyang is also sending ballistic missiles and artillery systems.

I hope Ukraine carries out some type of operation targeting military sites in Korea. This can't go unchecked.

There's only two rail lines connecting western Russia to the Kamchatka region, and only one spur connecting to North Korea over a railway bridge. Maybe they launch some drones from a cargo ship in the Sea of Japan and take out that bridge?

I believe Ukraine made a few attempts on trestle bridges or tunnels on these railway lines last year. If they can manage to take them out that would go a long ways to stopping the arms shipments from North Korea.

They should ask South Korea for support. They would likely be interested.

Direct support from South Korea is dicey. They have the largest population in the world with artillery sitting directly targeted at it.

Russia’s summer offensive in Ukraine is the bloodiest yet. Satellite data shows heavy strikes in Kherson, a major assault on Sumy, and brutal battles around Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka.

It would be violent and bloody, but North Korean couldn't take on South Korea and support Russia, IMO.

They absolutely are not interested. They are content to sit back and watch the NK army deplete themselves and not a single SK soldier lost. This has been discussed on the SK subreddit fairly often. Obviously redditors are not reflective of SK policy as a whole, but from what I understood it seems that there was some spat a while ago between SK and UA diplomats and some names were called, or something dumb like that. The UA diplomat to this day has refused to apologize for the comments and it left a sour taste on the SK end. As well, supposedly some missile tech from UA was illegally sold on the black market some years back to some NK officials, which helped NK to advance their missile program.

If ever there was a time for the south to smack the north in the face, this is it. But SK obviously isn't interested in a war that is being fought on another continent, that is resulting in their enemy having their stocks depleted. This is a big win for them. Other than the occasional humanitarian aid, nobody should expect SK to start sending any kind of military aid.

This is on Europe to do something drastic. The coalition of the unwilling is still kicking the can down the road. As we speak, the NK army is gearing itself to possibly play a role in directly attacking a European country. They've restricted themselves to Kursk to as to not be directly involved, but I have a feeling that will change at some point.

This absolute pussyfooting by the west for years now is pathetic. ####ing stop Russia already.
