Well I am sure there is one or more YouTube "expert" that has a different view from the IMF (what do they know about international finance?)

The IMF first reported that this was likely a few months ago - now official.
NOTE: Russian sources off IMF (actual report behind paywall) posted today by IMF
NOTE2: PPP is the only way to compare economies - GDP is more affected by currency exchange rates which distorts the comparison between nations. While GDP can be and is valid only for internal economic changes and measures

IMF upgrades Russia to world’s fourth-largest economy​

The country is outperforming Japan in terms of purchasing power parity, according to the Washington-based organization
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has ranked Russia as the world’s fourth-largest economy based on purchasing power parity (PPP).

PPP compares economic productivity and standards of living between countries by adjusting for differences in the cost of goods and services.

In its World Economic Outlook published on Tuesday, the IMF said Russia’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024 amounts to 3.55% of global GDP in terms of PPP, outperforming Japan, which has 3.38%.

According to the report, Russia ranks fourth in terms of PPP after China (18.8%), the US (15%), and India (7.9%).

The latest figures show that the world’s leading economies by PPP now include three BRICS countries – China, India, and Russia – the report authors noted, pointing out that Russia’s upgrade has been driven by Western sanctions.

The big "trick" with our MIC - it is not wat is projected to be built but what is actually built.
Money for items in todays prices - THEN - cost overruns cut the number of items built as the price for each goes up.
Across all branches - money is approved for a set number of items - what is output YEARS later are much more expensive and a lot fewer of them.
The Tomahawks being delivered in 2025 were budgeted in 2023. It takes 2 years from contract to product.

South Korea warns it may send Ukraine weapons after North Korea sent troops to Russia​

October 24, 202411:48 AM ET

Anthony Kuhn

SEOUL — South Korea’s president vowed on Thursday to respond to North Korea’s deployment of troops to Russia, including by potentially supplying offensive weapons to Ukraine.

Seoul will not “sit idle” in the face of a North Korean “provocation that threatens global security beyond the Korean Peninsula and Europe,” South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol told reporters in Seoul, after a summit meeting with visiting Polish President Andrzej Duda.

Yoon’s remarks follow Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s assertion Wednesday that the United States has evidence of North Korea’s deployment of troops to Russia.

Austin did not specify what the evidence was, but said if North Korean troops were to fight for Russia, it would be a “very, very serious issue.”

South Korea’s intelligence chief told lawmakers Wednesday that North Korea has sent 3,000 troops, including special forces, to Russia for training, and that the North plans to increase that number to 10,000 by December.

The deployment of North Korean troops could add to concerns that the war risks spilling over and affecting tensions in Asia, from the Korean Peninsula to the Taiwan Strait.

South Korea's intelligence agency said last week that North Korea had sent more than 13,000 containers of artillery, missiles and other conventional weapons to Russia since August 2023. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned earlier this month that North Korea is "no longer just about transferring weapons" but personnel too to help Russian forces.

President Yoon pledged support for additional South Korean weapons sales to Poland, including the sale of $7 billion worth of K2 tanks. So far, South Korea has helped Ukraine by providing arms to the United States and Ukraine’s neighbors, but he said that could change.

“We have had a principle of not directly supplying lethal weapons” to combatants, he told reporters, “but we can be more flexible and review the policy depending on North Korea’s military activities.”

Even if they do fight on the front lines, analysts believe North Korean troops will be relegated to a supporting role in the war.

Lee Ho-ryung, a researcher at the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses, a government think tank in Seoul, says North Korean troops could be sent to wear down Ukraine’s offensive into Russia’s Kursk region.

The North Koreans will likely be put “in charge of security and such at first. But as time goes by, and with training, they may be able to support Russian operations,” Lee says. “Then, it is expected that there will be many casualties during that process.”

South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun told lawmakers Thursday that North Korean troops “are assessed to be mere cannon fodder mercenaries." North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, he added, “has sold his people's army for an illegal war of aggression."

North Korean state media have made no mention of deploying troops to Russia, and the South’s intelligence agency says North Korea may be sequestering family members of troops sent to Russia, possibly to quell domestic discontent at the deployment.

Even if the North Korean deployment has limited military value, analysts say it sends important messages to major powers.

North Korea has named Russia as its top foreign policy priority, and in June, signed a treaty, ratified by Russia’s parliament on Thursday, which allows for mutual assistance if either country comes under attack. Deploying troops could be seen as cementing that deal.

For Ukraine, pointing to North Korean intervention strengthens the Ukrainian government's appeals for Western military aid. South Korea’s suggestion that it could arm Ukraine is music to Kyiv’s ears, argues Yoon Sukjoon, a senior research fellow at the Korea Institute for Maritime Strategy, and a retired South Korean navy captain.

"South Korea saying: 'We will now stand on the U.S. side and sell offensive weapons to Ukraine' helps Ukraine,” he says, “and I think that's ultimately what Ukraine wanted to get from President Zelenskyy's disclosure” of the North Korean deployment.

That said, Yoon and other analysts believe South Korea will respond cautiously to any North Korean troop deployment, to keep Russia from giving North Korea the military assistance that it seeks as a reward for sending troops.

Moscow has warned Seoul not to get involved in Ukraine. "It is necessary to think about the consequences for the security of South Korea" if it entered the conflict in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Wednesday. "The Russian Federation will react harshly to any steps that may pose a threat to the security of the country and its citizens."

Se Eun Gong contributed to this report from Seoul.

Japan says North Korean troops in Russia of 'serious concern'
AFP
2–3 minutes

Japan said Friday it was following with “serious concern” indications that North Korean troops are in Russia ahead of their possible deployment in Ukraine.

“The Japanese government is… monitoring the deployment of soldiers by North Korea to Russia with serious concern, including the possibility that they may join in Russia’s aggression against Ukraine,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said.

“The recent development of military cooperation between Russia and the DPRK (North Korea), including with this development, not only invites the further deterioration of the situation in Ukraine, but it is seriously worrisome also from the perspective of its impact on the security of the region surrounding Japan,” Hayashi told reporters.

“Japan will continue to collect and analyse relevant information and continue to work with the international community for the full implementation of relevant Security Council resolutions and the realisation of a just and lasting peace in Ukraine as soon as possible,” he said.

He added: “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is an outrageous act that shakes the very foundations of the international order.”

Seoul’s spy agency has said that around 3,000 North Korean soldiers are currently in Russia training, likely to deploy to the frontlines against Ukraine soon, with thousands more troops to be sent by December.

NATO and Washington have confirmed that Pyongyang’s soldiers are now training in Russia, warning that if they were to join the fight against Kyiv, it could mark a dangerous escalation of the grinding war

Ukraine said Thursday that North Korean troops have arrived in the “combat zone” in Russia’s Kursk border region, where Moscow has struggled to push back Ukrainian forces for months.

North Korea — with whom Russia signed a mutual defence pact — is already widely believed to be arming Moscow for its invasion but troops on the ground would mark a new escalation in the conflict.

With Propaganda dressed up as News - it is what is NOT covered that is often the most significant
Latest from Larry Johnson

West Ignores BRICS and Ukrainian Retreats, While Israel Struggles with Resilient Hezbollah​


At 8pm eastern time, I did a quick survey of the web-front pages of the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, POLITICO and the Financial Times. Not one word about the BRICS summit, which ended today in Kazan, Russia. Total crickets. And these clowns claim status as “news organizations.”

Guess what? Nothing on Ukraine’s military situation either. Why report on activities that will respectively change the international economic order and threaten the continued existence of NATO? No news here. Move along. Nothing to see.

This is journalistic malpractice on a staggering scale. And the owners of these various rags wonder why people under the age of 40 are not lining up to subscribe to their tabloid bullshit. The Washington Post is more concerned about the possible resentencing of the murdering Menendez brothers — two “nice” boys who whacked their parents 35 years ago. And the Post can’t let a day go by without smearing Donald Trump with the nonsensical claim from two former failed generals — Mark Milley and John Kelly — that Trump is just itching to order American troops to start rounding up Americans. That story lingered about as long as a fart in a hurricane.

Sending North Korean soldiers to Russia complies with international law (c) DPRK MFA

I think that if what the world media is making a fuss about took place, it would comply with international law (c) DPRK Deputy Foreign Minister Kim Jong Gyu

1. There are no obstacles to the presence of DPRK troops on the territory of the Russian Federation after the conclusion of the interstate treaty between the Russian Federation and the DPRK.

2. These troops have not been and are not being deployed on the territory of third countries.

3. DPRK troops have not been recorded at the front, including on the territory of the former Ukraine, at the moment. There is no objective control data on their presence.

4. In the event of the deployment of DPRK troops on the territory of the Kursk region (if this happens), DPRK troops will operate on the territory of the Russian Federation within the framework of the concluded defensive alliance.

However, the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions are now also the territory of the Russian Federation.

South Korea has decided to openly fight with Russia?!​

By Marat Khairullin​

Oct 24, 2024

Now it has become clear why the North Korea issue is being actively stirred up during the SMO. South Korea is sending its soldiers and officers to fight in Ukraine. Let me remind you that South Korea is a passionate, evil six of the USA (slang for "lackey"- in Russia, 6 is the lowest numbered card in a deck of cards). They are not as smart as Japan, but not as dumb as the Ukraine. Most importantly, they are high-tech.

Southerners, starting from the time of the first Korean War, participated in all military conflicts of the USA, including the Vietnam War. And everywhere they distinguished themselves by cruelty and ruthlessness. In the first months of the SMO, South Korea sent the widest range of military products to the Ukrainians - from shells (almost a million units) to dry rations. Also, of course, they sent materials for assembling UAVs. The direct participation of the South Korean military in operations in Ukraine was only a matter of time.

Last week, the first 16 pilots from South Korea's 19th Air Wing arrived at NATO's Romanian air base near Mihail Kogalniceanu. Apparently, South Korea sent the first squadron of the air wing, the most prepared and combat-ready, to the war in full force. This means they are planning to throw them into battle immediately.

Currently, the F-16 fighters allocated to Ukraine are also in Romania - at the Fetești air base on the border with Moldova. As soon as the South Korean pilots go there, this will be an indicator of the imminent use of these aircraft in Ukraine. In addition to the F-16 pilots, pilots of South Korean T-50 combat training aircraft, which are used in the southern army as light attack aircraft, have arrived at the air base in the commune of Mikhail Kogalniceanu. It is assumed that these aircraft may be useful as hunters for "Geraniums" in the protection of the Odessa port.

In general, no matter how you look at it, it turns out that today in the entire conventional Western bloc, only South Korea has a real reserve of experienced pilots. This country is the only one that complies with current NATO standards for maintaining the combat readiness of its aircraft fleet. Currently, independent estimates suggest that the ROK Air Force has about 170 active pilots for its 140 F-16s. To this, you must also add another 100 or so for the two-seat F-15s. Also, there are about 400 pilots in close reserve.

Thus, the only country that is really capable of sending pilots to Ukraine now is South Korea. Considering that almost the entire 155th Fighter Squadron (and part of the 123rd Squadron - 20th Air Wing) has arrived in Romania, the Koreans are very serious about fighting. Therefore, I can assume that we will soon see another attempt at escalation on the Ukrainian front.

IMO, I think that Transnistria will be attacked because this would open up a new front in the Ukraine war.

Have to see how they plan to do this.

If trying to fly out of Ukraine the airfields will be easy hits - as has already happened.
If out of Romanian then we have the issue well covered in the past - that field becomes a valid target.

What is interesting is the US getting a NON NATO nation pulled in. Also one that is not in the local area.
NATO jets or just pilots entering the SMO places their home nations as valid targets - NONE want anything to so with that.

What is 100% - this whole plan is coming out of the US - no way SK jets arrive at a NATO base without it being well planned out in advance. What exactly the plan is or what the US expects to get out of this???

SK will get a lot of dead pilots and downed jets - wonder what the US promised them for this "contract" work.

The latest figures show that the world’s leading economies by PPP now include three BRICS countries – China, India, and Russia – the report authors noted, pointing out that Russia’s upgrade has been driven by Western sanctions.

Current observations from MoA

How Russia Is Overwhelming Ukrainian Frontlines​


There seems to be a bit of a panic along the Ukrainian front lines. Several units, for lack of men, have recently left positions they were supposed to hold. The daily progress of the Russian forces along the line is increasing.

The medium level of the Ukrainian military seems to understand that their defense is breaking down.


More in linked article -
It is more than high time for the Ukrainian military to concede that its has no way of winning and that it, moreover, has lost the ability to defend the country.

The Ukrainian military commander in chief must press the politicians to seek peace.

SITREP 10/26/24: Zelensky Begs Grid-Strike Trade as 'Dark Winter' Looms​


The most interesting Ukrainian news of the past week was Zelensky’s sudden floating of a ‘compromise’ wherein both Russia and Ukraine would stop attacking each other’s energy grids. What’s most eye-opening about this is it seems to reveal the actual true purpose behind Ukraine’s campaign of the past year or so of striking Russian oil refineries, etc. Rather than aimed at actually crippling Russia’s infrastructure—an unrealistic proposal—it seems the whole time to have been aimed at desperately stopping Russia from crippling Ukraine’s infrastructure and plunging the country into the stone age, as many have expected to happen this coming winter.
