You are being LIED to about North Korean Soldiers



Jake Broe has a lot to say about those N. Korean soldiers. I'd add that the number of them we know about will allow Russia to keep the war going only an additional 10 days, at the most, going by the daily total of Russians killed and wounded at the front.

As for what North Koreans know about the "collapsing" west, consider this little gem: It's old, but I'll bet they still show it in the villages.

He is an ex USAF missile control officer and speaks fluent Korean. He has raised over TWO MILLION BUCKS to help Ukraine. Plain spoken and to the point...

4. He started out as a financial vlogger

but quickly turned himself into one of the best military vloggers out there. Artur Rehi (Estonian reservist) and Operator Starsky (lately a captain in the ukrainian military and now engaged in getting a counter disinformation company up and running) are all good. Most of the rest are talking through the holes their cake don't go into

Jake Broe is knowledgeable and seems like a good guy. You can't go far wrong watching his stuff.

That's why I believe what he says about the ruzzian economy. Yes, Artur and Op Starsky are good guys too. I like to listen to Perun who is a military economist from Oz..His vids are like Power Point presentations. Very thorough and sometimes boring. Always educational and he has a strange sense of humor which I like.

6. The best guy for Russian fianancial issues is Konstantin at Inside Russia

but unfortunately an episode of Bell's palsy has him knocked out for a few weeks. He'll be writing updates at his Patreon page, but his videos will be MIA for a while.

He's a trained economist from Moscow and when Putin made it illegal to publish Russian ecinimic data, he knew where to look for it. He's living in Tashkent these days, his response to Putin's war.
