Russia Evacuates Most Personnel from Their Embassy in North Korea

Russia has withdrawn most of its embassy staff in North Korea, a Seoul official said Thursday, as pandemic-driven shortages of everyday commodities and anti-virus restrictions have driven many foreign diplomats out of the impoverished country.
NK News, a media outlet on the North, reported earlier dozens of Russia’s embassy personnel left Pyongyang on Wednesday via train, leaving behind only two diplomats, including Ambassador Alexander Matsegora, and other technicians.
“Russia used to have a large embassy that could originally station around 100 people, but the government understands that most of them have left,” the official at the unification ministry told reporters on the customary condition of anonymity.

The American military will offer a strong response by declaring a standdown for Black Transsexual Lives Matter Day which will give everyone time to get their booster.
The EU will debate if they should send a strongly worded letter and decide not to because the pipeline delivering Russian gas has an oddly moderating effect on their attitudes.
Hopefully someone drops something loud and bright on Taiwan’s semiconductor factories right as the Chinese army reaches the parking lot… but probably wishful optimism in the competence of anyone.
