Putin reportedly paid Kim Jong Un up to $6 billion for weapons and North Korean soldiers, according to The New York Times.
The Hankuk Institute in Seoul estimates Pyongyang’s arms shipments were worth $1.72–$5.5 billion, partially paid in cash and the rest in oil and food.
For deploying 5,000–20,000 troops, North Korea could have earned $143–$572 million.
With 11,000 soldiers reportedly in Russia’s Kursk region, Pyongyang may have received about $315 million.

The Iranian Rial is at a new low - at a value of 777 thousand Rials to one US dollar. Since Trump won the election, the Iranian currency has lost about 10% of its value, when it stood at 703 thousand rials to one dollar.
.....
Bloomberg report: Iran is holding talks with the Sudanese army regarding the possibility of establishing a military port in Port Sudan on the Red Sea coast - in exchange for the extensive military support that Tehran is providing to the Sudanese army in the country's civil war. Russia is also working to renew contacts with the Sudanese army for a military port in the Red Sea, amid concerns about the loss of its large bases in Syria and the desire to maintain the air and sea bridge to its branches in Africa.
Can you think of a chapter in the Bible where Iran Russia and Sudan are mentioned?
.....
"People of Iran, do not miss this historic opportunity. Act now. The people of Israel stand with you," said Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon in a Security Council meeting on Wednesday. He said that the chance to end Iran's ambitions is within reach, calling the Islamic Republic a global threat.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian landed in Egypt - the first visit by an Iranian president to the country since 2013.
.....
Report in the Wall Street Journal: Russia has transferred a large arsenal of air defense systems and advanced weapons from Syria to Libya. In addition, the Russian military has transferred soldiers and fighter jets from Syria to Libya. At this time, it is unclear whether the Russian military will leave the forces in Libya or return them to Russia.
.....
The axis of evil has crumbled. Iran's influence in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon has diminished. The leaders of pro-Iranian militias have gone underground, and Hezbollah is incapable of acting.

Beth Tikvah synagogue in Montreal was targeted in an arson attack. Again.
This is the second time this synagogue was targeted.
.....
A piece of an interceptor from the interception of the Yemeni ballistic missile fell next to a school in Tel Aviv area. Thankfully it was the middle of the night and no one was hurt. You can only imagine if that missile would’ve been launched 4-5 hours later. Dozens of kids could’ve been killed.
We must strike Yemen forcefully and frequently! Once every 3-4 months isn’t deterring them at all.
.....
Full details about the attack last night in Yemen:
14 fighter jets participated in the attack - all returned to Israel safely.
Dozens of bombs were dropped on targets in the port of Hodeidah, the port of Ras Issa, and the port of Al-Salif. In the ports, the tugboats that bring the ships to the port were attacked, which cripples their ability to bring tankers and merchant ships to all their ports.
Two targets in Sana'a were also attacked - fuel and oil tanks, and a power plant.
A total of 5 targets were attacked throughout Yemen, each target including dozens of components.

The Houthis have fired more than 200 surface-to-surface (ballistic) missiles and another 170 drones since the beginning of the war. The vast majority of them did not reach Israel and were intercepted outside our territory by Israel or the US.

Israel Defense Minister warns:
Israel will start targeting the Houthi leaders soon!
.....
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "The Houthis are learning and will learn the hard way, that whoever attacks Israel pays a very heavy price for it."

"As of this morning, the Air Force attacked strategic Houthi targets in the port of Hodeidah and deep inside Yemen.

We did this in response to the Houthis' repeated attacks on civilian targets in Israel. Last night, they attacked a school in Ramat Gan.

They are not just attacking us - they are attacking the entire world. They are attacking international shipping and trade routes. Thus, when Israel acts against the Houthis, it is acting for the entire international community. The Americans understand this well, and so do many others.

After Hamas, Hezbollah and the Assad regime in Syria, the Houthis are almost the last remaining arm of Iran's evil axis. "They are learning, and they will learn the hard way, that whoever harms Israel pays a very heavy price for it."

.....
This [photo of a large swastika spray-painted over the park map] is what visitors to Shadmoor State Park in Long Island discovered today.  The degree to which Jew-hatred is out in the open is terrifying.
