Kremlin Shock Over North Korean Defections - Jason Jay Smart [View all]

[TexasTowelie]

Ukraine has successfully blinded the Black Sea Fleet by destroying the sensors and patrol systems that guard Russian naval bases. This systematic dismantling of maritime defenses leaves Russian submarines and high-value assets exposed to drone strikes. The destruction of these electronic eyes forces the Russian Navy into a defensive posture.

The war has simultaneously breached the internal security of Moscow. Attacks on police vehicles and senior officials prove that the Russian capital is no longer a safe zone. Kremlin resources are being diverted from the front lines to protect domestic infrastructure and government parking lots.

North Korean troops in Ukraine are breaking the coalition by attempting to defect to South Korea. These defections undermine the perceived strength of the alliance Vladimir Putin built for manpower. The psychological collapse of these proxy forces signals a failure of Russian military logistics.

Kyiv is attacking the capacity and legitimacy of the Russian Federation on multiple fronts. A government unable to secure its fleet or the loyalty of its allies is losing control of the geopolitical narrative. The initiative has shifted as Russia reacts to existential threats at home.
