North Korean Troops In Russia – Moscow ‘Checkmates’ The U.S. Just Like 1971 India-Pakistan War?
The National Intelligence Service of South Korea released satellite imagery showing North Korean troops in training grounds in Russia's Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk. The troops were trained in North Korea under Kim Jong-un's supervision before being deployed to Russia. Approximately 1,500 North Korean special forces were initially sent to Russia, with reports suggesting a total of 12,000 soldiers prepared for deployment.
The strategic partnership between Russia and North Korea has serious implications, with allegations that the troops are being equipped with Russian military gear to blend in with Russian forces. If North Korean troops are integrated with Russian forces, it could significantly impact the ongoing conflict.
Russia may use the North Korean troops to release Russian troops for combat duties without mobilizing additional forces, which could strain its economy. The deployment of North Korean troops across Russia could allow Russia to secure its extensive borders while deterring NATO intervention.
The troops will likely undergo long and rigorous combat training to prepare for direct engagement with Ukrainian and NATO forces. The deployment of North Korean troops is not considered escalatory at this point, as they play a less provocative role compared to US and NATO personnel in Ukraine. Russia's motive for deploying North Korean troops is likely deterrence against NATO intervention.
The strategic partnership between Russia and North Korea resembles the friendship treaty between India and the Soviet Union ahead of the 1971 India-Pakistan war. This treaty aims to deter external intervention in conflict zones. The deployment of North Korean troops may serve as a deterrent to escalation of the conflict in Ukraine.

"Russia will not allow Ukraine to acquire nuclear weapons under any circumstances"
Vladimir Putin meets with heads of leading media from BRICS member countries. The forum is taking place in Moscow. Key points:
— The creation of a single BRICS currency is not currently being considered. The BRICS countries are working on their own analogue of SWIFT;
— The President expects positive economic growth in Russia, China and India, but faster growth in the countries of Africa and Southeast Asia;
— BRICS already covers 33% of the land and 45% of the planet's population. BRICS is "not an anti-Western association, but simply not Western";
— The US will not be able to stop China’s development; they are 15 years too late. At the same time, the US is dragging Europeans and NATO into a conflict with China like little dogs;
— Russian-Chinese cooperation is one of the key factors of stability in the world. Unique trusting relations have developed between the countries, and the volume of trade confirms this. Russia's share in China's trade turnover is growing and has already reached fourth place;
— It is impossible to solve the Palestinian problem based solely on economic issues. And "the Palestinians will not leave there, this is their land, we must understand this";
- Any step towards creating nuclear weapons in Ukraine will be met with "an appropriate response". At the same time, Russia is interested in ending the conflict in Ukraine as quickly as possible. But setting deadlines for ending the conflict is counterproductive;
— Russia is ready to conduct a dialogue on a peaceful end to the conflict in Ukraine, but only on the basis of the Istanbul agreements.
— Victory will be ours!

WSJ: Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in Chasov Yar are weakening
For six months, the Russians were held back behind the canal, but this week they managed to break through in two areas, the publication writes, citing Ukrainian military personnel.
“It only takes one mistake, and Chasov Yar could fall in a matter of days,” the newspaper quotes one of them as saying.
The advance "could represent a significant step toward Russia's position in the city." And the loss of Chasy Yar, along with Pokrovsk, "is key to Moscow's efforts" to retake Donetsk Oblast.
Analysts believe the Russians want to retake both cities before the leaves fall, depriving troops of vital shelters, and before the winter rains and mud set in.

UK authorities will study the possibility of prescribing anti-obesity injections to unemployed people in a bid to improve the labour market and healthcare.
The country's health minister said the idea was not a 'dystopia'
On October 15, in his article for the Daily Telegraph, the head of the department, Wes Streeting, said that the British are eating more and more, consuming unhealthy food and doing less and less sports. According to the official, this reduces the quality and duration of life, increases the burden on the health care system, and also negatively affects the labor market. To solve the problem, the British Minister of Health proposed a scheme with injections for the unemployed who are diagnosed with obesity (we are talking about Mounjaro, an analogue of the popular drug Ozempic). The pharmaceutical company Lilly has already announced that it will conduct the first real-life trial of the effects of drugs on the unemployed, labor productivity and their dependence on the National Health Service. As part of the agreement, the manufacturer of the weight loss drug Mounjaro will invest 280 million pounds sterling in the country's economy.
Following the news, a debate has erupted in the British media, with social media users discussing the morality of the issue and comparing the reality to dystopian books. Today, Wes Streeting appeared on the BBC to defend the anti-obesity shots. He also stressed that Mounjaro is not the only solution to the problem, noting that he does not want to create a “culture of dependence” on the drug. “I’m also not interested in some dystopian future where I wander around forcibly injecting overweight unemployed people – that’s not my plan,” the official said. According to Streeting, the researchers will study the “real-world effectiveness” of the drug, also known as tirzepatide, in treating obesity over the course of five years. The head of the ministry noted that he is “very excited” about the upcoming study and believes that ultimately the demand for this solution will be greater than the country’s authorities can offer.
