Sure, if you don't really understand what's going on. Meanwhile, I feel an urge to make a donation to "sign my rocket".

Wankery squared.

The problem is that these things are weapons of war and they are designed to kill people. This exercise is childish and pointless because, if the recipient is close enough to read the signature, they are probably going to be killed by the shell. And they won't be the people responsible for the mess. Putin will be hundreds of miles away, in a bunker if there is any sign of incoming munitions.

Most of the people who are killed by these things are conscripts who have been herded together and then force to run at the Ukrainian positions with little chance of survival. They had families and friends and they would rather be there with them than being killed by shells with amusing artwork.

Wankery indeed.

they're conscripts of a corrupt state. They have no choice. As so often your attitude mirrors that which you despise.

They had a choice. They could have refused. Not an easy choice but the choice was there. Instead, they chose to loot, rape and murder Ukrainians. Now I get to watch drone footage of them being blown up. No sympathy!

No.

They really couldn't.

What part of the word conscript do you not understand?

And gone to prison - or to the front anyway.

Most of them don't get that far. They die in meat wave attacks.

One of Orban's top aides, also called Orban but no relation, says that if in Ukraine's shoes Hungary wouldn't resist a russian invasion. Couldn't make it up!🤡 At least it means Nato soldiers don't have to risk their lives for Hungary. Someone tell me why Hungary is in Nato again?

surely being in NATO is a de facto declaration that you will resist an invasion by Russia.

No. They just ran out of Buryats to send into meat grinder.

Given their displays so far, the immediate question is help who?

'their' meaning the Russians, pr North Koreans?
Someone on YouTube speculated that the Koreans would help Russia to recapture Kursk. Iirc the two countries have a defence agreement which was in place before Ukraine's incursion into Kursk.

Equally applicable to either, from what I can tell.

I'm not sure, at this point, the North Koreans could help Putin recapture Moscow, and they haven't lost that yet.

So presumably you're about to start ripping into Kim Jong Un for prolonging the bloodshed and sending troops to a pointless combat zone, suggesting that Putin should just give up Kursk and sue for peace to avoid anyone else dying?

Indeed. Kursk was once Ukraine according to some maps, including Bryansk, Bilhorod and most of the east coast of the Sea of Azov. Putin loves old maps.
