I'm sure you could find information on his foreign visits if that's what you mean. He visited China in May of this year and Iran sometime in 2022
I'm not sure, I'd doubt anyone being too confident in a number like that. I think it's generally accepted though that russia bought some single digit number of millions of shells from dprk previously.
My mistake, you're right. This is the other episode I was thinking of https://pca.st/episode/8517b6fc-7872-4e6c-b3d7-38efb340ab31
They’re only doing this because they have been forced to do that, not because they have any natural affinity or ideological compatibility with the DPRK.
This seems a bit odd to say considering that dprk will be one of the major players in any war in the South China sea. It'll be US, Japan, RoK, Taiwan, Philippines vs China, DPRK. The natural affinity is being enemies with the US, setting aside any other economic ties, potential or otherwise.
RF does have a significant advantage over the west in terms of munitions production, but nevertheless large scale Russian style advances take an absolutely tremendous amount of munitions. Firing 50-60,000 shells per day during an offensive outstrips even Russia's production rate of 10-12000 per day. The west collectively makes a third of that give or take.
All four of these episodes are really good, I learned a lot. There is also a 5th one about the boxer rebellion specifically with the same guest
So noted.

When I was much younger I did some summers of manual labor and the crew I worked with had a habit of taking in a mouthful of warm water, a spoonful of instant coffee, then shaking your head vigorously before swallowing. I think that focus on coffee as a caffeine delivery drug stuck with me. I enjoy a good cup of coffee but I will drink just about anything as coffee. If I want something that tastes good I prefer tea.
There was a western news story recently(last couple weeks) about a journalist going with a ukrainian unit and seeing a bunch of pensioners and old men. There were several good photographs of the soldiers. Does anyone have the link?
Who knows, but the answer isn't cheering for global nuclear war.
This is psychotic sentiment. Get a grip.
Thank you comrade, slava disinformatski

I'd like to see some corroboration of this from a source that isn't an unnamed spy confessing to Yemeni security forces.
The irony is that since zelensky is the hardline anti Russia guy, he might still do fine in an election of just the territory they control. The eastern regions that russia has taken would almost certainly vote for more conciliatory politicians than the west of the country. In other words, the part of the country that would be most challenging to poll is also the part that's probably least supportive of zelensky's current policies.
