The reason for DPRK soldiers fighting for Russia in Ukraine are now becoming more clear. Russia (Putin) is looking to expand the war because he's losing. His allies are preparing a reason to escalate. And now he has his American puppet to let it happen.

I should probably flesh this out a bit more. It may take 2 or 3 extra posts but hear me out.

I said, perhaps even here on #CounterSocial many moons ago, that Putin, Kim Jong-Un, Xi with Orban and Lukeachenko to a lesser degree, have played Trump like a cheap banjo. They are using his overblown ego and narcissism to their advantage.

They already have America at war with itself and when they make their play Trump won't see it coming. China and North Korea will turn on him.

They will have him isolate America from NATO and that's when they will strike.

Having weakened American resolve and isolating them it allows countries loyal to Putin to enter into the fray.

China and NK will make their moves in Asia, while Europe will become a larger battleground. Having NATO shunned by Trump means that America will have less support when they attempt to react to China and NK. They basically have taken America out of the equation.

This in turn will leave Israel vulnerable, at least in the short term, because Europe won't be able to fight on two fronts.

Very thought-provoking thread. Thank you!

@John_Ripley As I said, it's speculation, but I'm also a student of history and I have been paying attention to this for a long time.

Thank you for listening.🙏

@Tacitus_Kilgore I am 60 and my dad taught history in high school. I am glad there are still historians around!
