He's been asking for talks since May.
Isn't it good when leaders ask for talks with their neighbours rather than invading them?

Except Kim wont meet with him, and he will meet with Putin.
I did a search whoch shows it to be about 100,000. Not sure if that includes all armed forces or just army
I wonder where he got the 25k number from, have seen him mention that number a few times
I think our comrade drinks too much Vodka.
Respect for the absolute levels of nonsense you will go to to deny facts snd create fantasy, it is a skill in itself. You’ve literally never admitted one single incident of putin having failed
Bravo
That would be army, navy and raf I imagine, not too sure about reservists - there will be informed people on here to clarifyI did a search whoch shows it to be about 100,000. Not sure if that includes all armed forces or just army

Our armed forces have been absolutely decimated in recent years though

There seems to be a lot of confusion over the taking the village of Andriivka
Yesterday deputy defence minister Hanna Maliar suggested on her Telegram channel that Ukrainian forces had taken the village of Andriivka, which is in Donetsk.
There was then some suggestion that the announcement had been premature, and that Ukraine had not achieved its objective. However, this morning Suspilne reports that the general staff have again claimed to have taken the settlement. Suspilne writes:

The claims have not been independently verified.

It's a village here, a village there for these people. Thats what this counter offensive has been reduced to.

I think there's an unreliability about the official Ukrainian claims. Hanna Maliar comes across as a bit Comical Ali.

Hanna Maliar given a dressing down by the Ukrainian 3rd Assault Brigade re capture of Andriivka:
Ukraine's Third Assault Brigade, fighting around Bakhmut, denied an earlier report by Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar that the village of Andriivka, Donetsk Oblast, had been liberated. "The statement about the liberation of Andriivka is false and premature. Currently, serious and heavy fighting continues in Klishchiivka and Andriivka," the brigade reported. "Such statements are harmful, threaten the lives of personnel, and harm the performance of combat missions."

I'm not sure how that is relevant to your previous post, but I do remember he met with Trump, so he doesn't seem to be too consistent with who he meets

its completely relevant, in that Kishida seems desperate to meet him, but Kim is having none of it.I'm not sure how that is relevant to your previous post, but I do remember he met with Trump, so he doesn't seem to be too consistent with who he meets
Trump may have been trying to head off Putin actually, which was a point not picked up on at the time when most western observers were shocked that they were meeting at all.

The EU has to work for its citizens - not the citizens of non-members. You say that deepening the union would make it less likely that others outside would join because they'd have to sacrifice too much. But you are completely ignoring what the member states would have to sacrifice to accommodate nations that, right now, are at best quasi-democratic, corrupt, and hugely impoverished. As Brexit told the British, the EU supports its members' interests - not those of former members or putative future members. Otherwise, it collapses.
As things stand, Turkey won't be coming in any time soon, if ever. Greece and Cyprus will veto it. Solution? Remove the veto. Problem? Poland and Hungary will veto that. Ukraine won't be coming in any time soon either. To allow them in, every single state that is a net beneficiary of EU funds today will become a net contributor overnight. The EU is an amazing achievement. But it's fragile. Expansion - on merit - for the right reasons at the right time is the only way forward. Expansion for geopolitical expediency will sow the seeds of its destruction.

It should perhaps at this point be pointed out what one of the main reasons Kishida has for wanting to talk to Kim, and why Kim might not want to:
Kishida eyes talks with Kim to resolve North Korea abduction issue
North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Pak Sang Gil has said that there is no reason for North Korea and Japan not to meet if Japan seeks a way of improving relations.

US general warns British Army no longer top-level fighting force, defence sources reveal
Rishi Sunak risks failing in his role as "wartime prime minister" unless he takes urgent action given the growing security threat posed by Vladimir Putin, it has been warned, with calls for a significant hike in spending.news.sky.com
- The armed forces would run out of ammunition "in a few days" if called upon to fight
- The UK lacks the ability to defend its skies against the level of missile and drone strikes that Ukraine is enduring
- It would take five to 10 years for the army to be able to field a war-fighting division of some 25,000 to 30,000 troops backed by tanks, artillery and helicopters

I am sure that is one issue, amongst lots of others. Interesting though that this call comes 1 day after he met Putin.It should perhaps at this point be pointed out what one of the main reasons Kishida has for wanting to talk to Kim, and why Kim might not want to:

As for NK, I wouldnt be surprised to see some NK military observers on or near the front line. Despite being heavily militarised it doesnt have real combat experience at present. Ukraine gives them that chance. The same goes for its weapons.
