LINK: US leaders have said a potential arms deal with North Korea would show Russian President Vladimir Putin is 'desperate'

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin for an official state visit, the Kremlin announced Monday.

North Korean state-run media confirmed the visit in a report Monday, with Kim expected to meet with Putin in the next few days, according to a report from ABC News.

"Our Dearest Comrade Kim Jong Un will be visiting Russia upon invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin. During the visit he will meet Putin and hold a summit," the Korean Central News Agency said, according to the report.

A bullet-proof train believed to be carrying the North Korean leader departed Pyongyang on Sunday night, the report said, citing a South Korean official. The train is expected to take two days to arrive in the Russian city of Vladivostok on the North Korean border, a 683-mile journey that will be taken at just 37 miles per hour. From there, the train is expected to be outfitted with new wheels that will allow it to travel on Russian tracks. Putin also began a two-day trip to Vladivostok on Monday for an economic forum, according to Russia's TASS news agency.

Rebekah Koffler, a strategic military intelligence analyst, former senior official at the Defense Intelligence Agency and author of "Putin’s Playbook," told Fox News Digital the closer ties between Russia and North Korea will have "huge strategic implications for U.S. security."

"Two of our top adversaries are joining forces, expanding military-industrial cooperation," Koffler said. "Russia possesses one of the world’s most extensive know-how in nuclear arms and space technology. The fact that it will be sharing this know-how with North Korea is not a good thing for the United States. The fact that these two adversaries also have a close relationship with China makes matters even worse."

Koffler believes the cooperation between North Korea and Russia will be mutually beneficial for both countries, noting that Russia can provide North Korea with food amid a deepening food crisis in the country and access to the COVID-19 vaccine. Meanwhile, North Korea will be able to provide Russia with munitions to maintain the country's invasion of Ukraine. Russia can also help North Korea militarily, Koffler said.

"Russia, as one of the world’s leaders in nuclear, satellite, space launch, and missile technologies, can help North Korea beef up its military-industrial technology base," Koffler noted. "It is no coincidence that North Korea recently unveiled its new tactical nuclear attack submarine. North Korea growing its arsenal of weapons of mass destruction is obviously not in the U.S. interest."

Talks between Kim and Putin involving a plan for North Korea to send weapons supplies to Russia have been "actively advancing," U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby, said last month, arguing that it was a sign of desperation by Putin.

"We have new information, which we are able to share today, that arms negotiations between Russia and the DPRK are actively advancing," Kirby said. "Following these negotiations, high level discussions may continue in coming months. Now, among these potential deals, Russia would receive significant quantities and multiple types of munitions from the DPRK, which the Russian military plans to use in Ukraine."

Adrienne Watson, a NSC spokesperson, noted that although they have yet to confirm the specific details of the reported trip, that North Korea has in the past expressed that they were not willing to sell arms to Russia.

"As we have warned publicly, arms discussions between Russia and the DPRK are expected to continue during Kim Jong-Un’s trip to Russia. We urge the DPRK to abide by the public commitments that Pyongyang has made to not provide or sell arms to Russia," Watson told Fox News Digital.

Meanwhile, Koffler believes the two sides meeting sends a clear message of defiance to the West.

"Another, less tangible benefit for the two dictators is that the Putin-Kim meeting is upsetting Washington," Koffler said. "Neither would miss an opportunity to irk the U.S."

Just more destructive policy by Democrats in the news and another example of illegal foreign nationals over U.S. citizens. Pathetic, right @Soaring Eagle 74, @moe, @bamaEER and @NYC_Eer?

Must cut costs to feed, clothe, house and educate illegal foreign nationals. You get what you vote for and you voted for Democrat policies.

LINK: Police unions say Mayor Eric Adams will 'jeopardize public safety'

New York City will be cutting overtime pay for its police officers in an effort to pay for the city's ongoing migrant crisis despite police complaints that they are already understaffed.

Mayor Eric Adams' administration has informed the city's police, fire, corrections and sanitation departments that they must submit an overtime pay reduction plan and begin tracking progress each month, City Hall confirmed to Fox News Digital. Police unions say the plan will reduce the number of cops on patrol and make the city more dangerous.

"It is going to be impossible for the NYPD to significantly reduce overtime unless it fixes its staffing crisis. We are still thousands of cops short, and we’re struggling to drive crime back to pre-2020 levels without adequate personnel," Patrick Hendry, head of the Police Benevolent Association, told the Post.

"If City Hall wants to save money without jeopardizing public safety, it needs to invest in keeping experienced cops on the job," he added.

Fox News Digital reached out to the four impacted agencies for comment, but they have yet to respond. The Adams administration's plan also implements a hiring freeze. City Hall confirmed it sent a memo notifying various agencies of the change, but it declined to provide the document.

The cost-cutting program comes after Adams described the flow of migrants into NYC as a "financial tsunami" on Sunday. He has in the past predicted that the migrant crisis will "destroy" the city.

"We are about to experience a financial tsunami that I don’t think the city has ever experienced," Adams said in an interview with local media. "Every service in this city is going to be impacted, from child service to our seniors to housing. Everything will be impacted."

He warned that women and children may soon have to share spaces with single men, and public safety could be threatened, alluding to a brawl that broke out at a migrant shelter in Brooklyn last week.

Responding to criticism that his words were deemed "reckless," Mayor Adams said the reality on the ground "was not an academic exercise."

"This is not a utopia. New York City cannot manage 10,000 people a month with no end in sight," he said. "That can’t happen, and that is going to undermine this entire city."

PHHoniex Prep (Az.) Carmelo Adkins reclassified to the 2024 class and received an offer from West Virginia after talking with assistant Jordan McCabe. The 6-foot-5 guard is coming off a season where he averaged 16 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.3 steals per game and is a versatile option on both ends the floor. He was very excited about adding the offer from the Mountaineers as he's always wanted to play in the Big 12 and is working on scheduling a visit to see what the program has to offer. Adkins made it clear to me that he really likes what the coaching staff could do with him on both ends of the floor and he plans to make a decision by the November signing period. He has yet to take any other visits at this stage. West Virginia has been impressed with his ability to space the floor with his shooting ability as well as how he can get his teammates open shots. A name to keep in mind.

out for edit

If you we're going to one away game this year - which venue would you go to? I'd really like to go to BYU so maybe that'll be next year.

--West Virginia head coach Neal Brown recognizes and remembers 9-11. They took care of business Saturday night after the slow start and got the win as they should have. It was a fun night after the delay and he thanked the fans that stayed. They had good energy in the crowd.

--Special teams the positive was opp time on field goal and punt is good. Great to see kickoff, touchbacks and really good hang time with kicks. They continue to get good pressure and handled speciality kicks. They have to improve punt coverage and the miscue. Defense got a three and out and they don't do a good job pointing to the ball and it was the real negative. Defensively they played great against the run but where they need to improve is pass coverage and it's a few guys playing with bad fundamentals. They have to get better and it's going to continue to get exposed until they get it fixed. They were good offensively and had a bunch of explosive plays but they had a turnover going into score and some drops.

--This is the most important rivalry game and it's a night game and first true Saturday home night game since 2016. Quarterback is a local kid and can move around. Offensive line is a veteran group that has gotten better. Tight end they have a lot of snaps and will play three. At running back they have different skill sets and at receiver they are talented. Defense they like to pressure. They play hard and at linebacker they have played the run well and they can rush the passer. In the secondary a lot of those guys return and they are going to come up and challenge them.

--Really unique atmosphere we had a lot of people in the stadium last year and you can feel it. Brown brought his son to the game last year and the students were already in the game and he learned some new words and signals. He is in favor of playing this game and it makes a lot of sense to be the non-conference power five game every year. This is heated and we understand that and our players look forward to getting back into that. Brown hopes the atmosphere is electric and it's a great opportunity.

--Every head coach meeting before the game is awkward. It's good sportsmanship but if you know the person it's different. But those are you talk without saying anything.

--Brown is hopeful at wide receiver they will get EJ Horton back. Traylon Ray worked limited today and Asani Redwood is back and is going to full participate in practice. They'll wait and see on Oliver Straw. Devin Carter and Justin Johnson will both be back for the Pitt game and practiced today.

--The Pittsburgh quarterback has played his best football with Cignetti as his coach. Coming back and playing for his school and city likely means a lot to them. He is big and that stands out. Sometimes you see those guys and they will stand in the pocket but he's not. He can move and has a strong arm. He is a guy that you can tell he is cerebral and checking plays. The scary thing is when he breaks contain and gets on the edge. He has the ability to run or the arm talent to throw the ball down the field. He has won a bunch of games.

--They've made some defensive adjustments since Penn State but were vanilla against Duquesne. Schematically, the Dukes did a good job but the issues are eye violations and not getting their hands on wide receivers to allow them free runs.

--Hudson Clement is going to play and both of those outside guys are interchangeable. They may flip him over to X, with Devin Carter playing Z. Brown felt like it was the right time to give him a scholarship offer based off what he had did. He can run and ran 22.7 on a GPS unit. If they can run and has the work ethic, he already had ball skills so he just needed to get better at the blocking game and it's something he must get better at. You knew he had talent. He did a really nice job on special teams.

--Timing is a lot of it when it comes to the in-state impact on the roster. I don't know if we'll ever have three elite offensive linemen that can start at the right time. We have Zach, Doug and Wyatt at the same time. The walk-on program goes way before me and there is a long, long history. If you can have a quarter of your roster West Virginia kids that's a really good makeup. He doesn't have to tell Doug Nester about the Backyard Brawl. If they're from different places you have to explain it to them. There is a real close identity between the state and the football program and they can communicate that to other players on the team because they lived it growing up.

--Brown said there is something unique representing the community you grew up in when it comes to the high school transfers. It doesn't affect them at all but it's been that way in Florida and some other areas for a long time.

--Brown doesn't know if there is a difference having this game week one or week three.

--Garrett Greene is a ball of energy it's his greatest strength so you don't want to tone it in, but that works against him at the start of games at times because he is so amped up. Try to get him to calm down and execute a little higher. When he gets excited the ball comes out hot and it's hard to catch it.

--Brown believes they have to help Greene with avoiding sacks by scheming for him first. They need to do a good job helping him out not getting their guys in bad matchups and not making him hold the football.

--Greene handled it better than Brown did with players dropping the ball. It didn't phase him one bit and he is over there talking to the guys. He didn't let it affect him.

--The Kentucky/Louisville rivalry is pretty intense and that would closely resemble like this from his coaching career. There is a strong dislike between the two fan bases. But it is nowhere in the same vicinity of having the history and the football programs from a rivalry standpoint. There are very few college football rivalries that have the same memorable moments as the Backyard Brawl and especially when they were in the same conference as Pitt. This is the biggest rivalry from a football perspective he's been part of in his career.
--Johnny Williams did some nice things, Jaheim White's role will continue to grow. DJ Oliver is a downhill runner. Sully Weidman did a nice job. Corey McIntyre got some snaps he is productive and has a bright future and Ben Cutter did some things that were good and others he got exposed.

--West Virginia has two games now and there is going to be some playing time and decisions made based on what they've shown. Hopefully Marcis Floyd is back this week and should help. Nobody is getting fired but some snaps will get decreased. Their numbers are not as good as they like and they've had some evaluation mistakes at that area. The personnel isn't perfect but it's better than how they have performed to date. More about putting it on film. Practice is really important but you have no chance if you don't practice well but just because you do doesn't guarantee success. Montre Miller isn't going to play this week but it's in his court.

Anyone else feel he looked improved?

Granted, the competition wasn't top tier, but he just seemed a step better then last week.

That said, to me, Nicco clearly has more upside. Maybe, he needs more time but his passes are two notches better and he's not exactly immobile either.

Could be interesting later in the year if Greene stumbles.
