Pyongyang plans to send 6,000 troops, up to 100 tanks and APCs to Russia, and is already supplying 40% of its artillery ammo and weapons used in the war against Ukraine, Budanov says.

    We should go back to the days when leaders fought one-on-one. Instead, they send minions to die. Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd both said something or other about this. Oh well, guess a bunch of people have to die.

      Wasn’t this what the whole David vs Goliath thing was about? Except they weren’t two leaders but just subjects

        I could be wrong, but I think Goliath challenged the Jews to one-on-one combat because he was a giant (he was def a “giant;” the part I could be wrong about is whether he challenged or his leader / master challenged). I couldn’t say for sure; I’m an atheist and primarily study the first two centuries of christianity (it’s a fascinating topic).
