This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm Gaius Dramaticus is here. We turn to the war in Eurasia.

Ukraine. Russia attacks elements of its old empire, wants it back. Now Russia is reaching out for troops from the Koreas.

Those troops are said to be either en route or possibly en route.

There are a lot of rumors.

We don't have to fix it so much as we're just talking about.

The Ukraine war is changing.

It's no longer just hold off the Russians or they'll be in Keefe.

It's about the map, the Eurasian map, the World Island.

Germanicus, you've read the Ukraine War as futile for some time. The introduction of

North Korean troops, does it give us any indication where the Kremlin is going? What's next on the shopping list? There's been a vote

in Georgia said to be manipulated by Russia. Of course, every vote is manipulated by someone. There's

been a vote in Moldova, and that is said to be manipulated by Russia. Something to do with the

EU. It's all very complicated. However, Russia clearly has plans, and does it include more than the old empire?

Are they looking to build a bigger buffer state?

How do you read this North Korean news?

There's only one way to read it. And that is the determination of Russia and its leader, Mr. Putin,

to achieve victory in this war and to essentially hold back and push off the aggressive forces of NATO,

which, quite frankly, as the most insightful analysts have authoritatively presented was what the U.S. and NATO were up to. They were

engaged in an aggressive push against Russia. Russia after responding fitfully and hesitantly finally did so decisively.

Even that didn't work.

And now you have immobilized Russia allied to China, Iran, and with a reinvigorated alliance with North Korea,

which of course goes back to the Korean War and the relationship between Kim Il-sung and Stalin. and so this is an old relationship.
