current estimate $285 million possibly headed straight into the #DPRK or #IRGC nuclear weapons program, including $71.5 million from the "regulated" #stablecoin #USDC that could have stopped at least that much of this heist at any moment in the last 4 hours and just... chose not to do so.

remember that the goal of the #GeniusAct etc. is to make companies like Circle USDC *your* bank.

This month in 2012: Kim Jong Un was named chairman of the Central Military Commission — completing his grip on the DPRK's military just months after his father's death. The world wondered if he'd last. He's still there.

Between IT contractor fraud and NPM pipeline poisoning it would be nice if North Korea could take a break for a few months.

Google links axios supply chain attack to North Korean group

Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) joined several other researchers in attributing the attack to a North Korean threat actor they call UNC1069. SentinelOne found the same group using macOS-based malware in attacks dating back to 2023.

A U.S. strike on Kim is conceivable but effectively off the table, says defector diplomat Ryu Hyun-woo. Remove Kim and there's no successor, no opposition, no transition — just instant chaos and refugees.

Kim's fourth-term strategy rests on five pillars: nuclear weapons, self-reliance, ideological tightening, hostility toward Seoul, and bloc-aligned diplomacy.

That is a theory, whether an extension of a conspiracy theory where the US (the state) is controlled by Zionist or Russian interest groups ... and the mindless hierarchy in DC is making a mistake and trying to escape from it... or just a-historical mindless speculation with high popularity in social media ... WHO KNOWS!

There may be another theory that all this and the background theater is part of a staged plan and the acts (both Biden's and Trump's wars) are precise and well executed acts within the sequence.

The US will NOT pull out till the dynamics are such where the Saudi states and Iran engage in an endless war between them, Israel controls pretty much everything West and North of Iran and South of Turkey.

The vast majority of oil and gas sold to the industrialized world is controlled by a handful of US/EU/UK/NO based corporations while Russia solely caters the needs of China at a discount from global market.

A weakened Iran against SauAr Ku Qa UAE buying weapons constantly and unable to produce adequate amounts, diminishing selling capacity, endless reconstruction of facilities in more protected harbors of export ... it is an economic development plan to weaken ALL of them involved and benefit the "west".

It is the only way out of bankrupsy for US/UK as their debt has gone unimaginably larger than their true production capacity. Oil and gas are quick fixes for everything else falling apart.

A single vial of penicillin costs 160,000 NK won in Hyesan's jangmadang. A packet of paracetamol runs 130,000. For most North Koreans, getting sick means suffering through it alone.

North Korean high schoolers are dining out multiple times a week — and splitting the bill evenly. Elders are baffled. "How can they call each other comrades after that?"

North Korea youth embrace “going Dutch”

North Korean students are increasingly splitting restaurant bills, a shift that older generations say upends traditional notions of collective generosity.
