They started the war in Ukraine with the aim of "strategically defeating Russia" and breaking it into small countries.

@observerug@solomonkibz These people are aware that Museveni’s brain stopped functioning immediately after 2021 polls. That as of today, the state is run by drinking General. Museveni is senile and the wife is half dead.
Gagging a publicly listed media company like NMG triggers severe financial, regulatory, and constitutional consequences.
While the erratic general might care less about the direct crippling of its editorial mandate … there are implications on investor confidence. Regulatory rules for publicly traded assets mandate public disclosures that can result in delisting, shareholder lawsuits, and capital flight.

Visitors to DPRK 🇰🇵 from the West and Russia describe the amazing changes in that country thanks, in part, to China and Russia, despite Western sanctions:
“Restaurants there serve up brick-oven pizza and chicken wings. Diners can pay through a mobile QR-code system. Chinese electric vehicles whiz through the streets. Pyongyang has new pet stores, an internet-gaming cafe and car dealerships selling BMWs.
Kim has initiated a nationwide construction boom. Last year, North Korea built 10,000 new homes in Pyongyang—more than either Los Angeles or Chicago.”
I had to do a double-take when I saw this surprising piece about Kim’s successes in the WSJ.
