A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. 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. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be 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! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
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.

All those words and they didn't show us the before and after satellite photos? I feel cheated
Trump may be willing to show us cutting edge military satellite capabilities, but generally the rest of them try to avoid it.
They'd have to like, buy commercially available images just for us.
according to satellite imagery...made public on Friday.
Ah, so it was. Thank you for the correction.
It's linked in the article: https://beyondparallel.csis.org/dramatic-increase-in-dprk-russia-border-rail-traffic-after-kim-putin-summit/
Awesome, thank you!
Evil helping evil. No surprise.
They're probably making "extensive use of tarps" more out of embarrassment than anything else.
Or maybe, of all things Russia is running low on, North Korea is supporting them by supplying train loads of desperately needed tarps.
Maybe it's a the Sims situation again where someone higher up said they needed to set a lot of traps
North Korea does have huge stocks of artillery ammunition and they geared half their economy to military needs, they can absolutely supply a lot of shells.
Half of what economy?
On a serious note though I understand they can supply useful things this is just my cope. Hopefully whatever shells they are supplying have a high failure rate.
It's just plenty of extra spare tires
So 20 to 73 railcars. They could've written this alone to make a point.
This alone isn't important because NK isn't significant in any way. But it is a pocket state of China and I'd be worried of it being used as a node in China-Russia transfers. Was there an influx in China-NK import lately as well?
It IS important as it got huge stockpiles of soviet-compatible ammunition like artillery shells.
Yeah, I downplayed it too much.
Let's get some partisans along the rail track.
Also Iran, China and India.
Good
