North Korea said to be sending thousands of troops to help Russia in Ukraine war​

My opinion is to let Ukraine into NATO now rather than later.
Putin and Xi aren't stupid.
A peace deal now is better than a long, bloody, expensive war.

countries that are at war aren't let into NATO. sorry.

The NORKs there are in marvel at the food they are given.....It's said they are sending "care packages" back home to feed their families.

 

[Care4all]

Oh boy oh boy!

That's a tough one! I can only presume our State department, foreign advisors, and Presidents etc among NATO countries, know more about the geo political ramifications of such a decision than I, or we do! And cross my fingers and pray, they make the wisest decision, what ever that may be!

You are so detached from reality that it is quite frightening .

And why you think the US /NATO holds even a single card in a negotiation situation is beyond me .

 

[rightwinger]

It will be interesting to see how many of those N Korean soldiers defect

Great opportunity

Not for their families left behind, I would venture to bet! So it might not be the opportunity one would think!

Practising for the big one when they join in the internal American revolution and then take over the empty homes vacated by extremist Lefty Mutants

Maybe. People when pushed to limits, do things. A line gets crossed. Individually it may not matter for others in safety, care of and living conditions for personal satisfaction.

Doubtful he'd try to escape in this circumstance imo, unless the guy has no family....

The family unit is very strong in Asian families, and so is honor...and in North Korea, family is how they make it through some horrid conditions, imho.

N.K. troops trying to fight alongside Russian troops is hardly a game changer. More like a cluster fuk. Let's see how it works out.

Turns out to be FAKE News coming initially from RAND , the Pentagon's Think Tank

RAND, the Pentagon's think tank which often proposes strategic ideas. In a commentary about Russian/North Korean and Chinese cooperation published on October 11, three days before the start of Zelenski's campaign, a RAND analyst wrote:

What Should the United States Do?

Given the differences in the objectives of Russia, China, and North Korea, the United States should be mounting major information operations against these three countries to highlight their differences and fuel distrust among them. Doing so would increase the likelihood of decoupling at least some of their partnerships. Some examples of potential information operations seem obvious.
...
Information operations are also possible against Russia and North Korea.
...
[T]he United States should recognize that North Korean military advisors are supporting Russian use of North Korean military supplies in occupied areas of Ukraine.
...
The South Korean Defense Minister has said that North Korea will likely send more of its troops to support Russia, probably on the battlefield. Given Russian attitudes, those troops may well serve as cannon fodder. The North Korean elites need to hear what Kim may do to their sons.
...
This new cooperation between Russia and North Korea is hardly a signal of a budding long-term alliance and U.S. information campaigns could help speed its demise.

Just three days later the Military Intelligence of the Ukrainian army, headed by General Budanov, started to 'leak' claims to the Ukrainian press about North Korean troops in Russia. It is obvious where this came from:

According to a 2024 report by The New York Times, Budanov was one of the members of the elite Unit 2245 of the Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate trained by CIA.

Since launching the first rumors of 1,500, then 3,000 North Korean soldiers in Russia Budanov has steadily increased the claim:

11,000 North Korean troops will be 'ready to fight' in Ukraine by Nov. 1, Budanov says - Kyiv Independent, Oct 18 2024

The South Korean news agency Yonhap, well known for peddling fake news about North Korea, repeats similar South Korean 'intelligence' claims:

N. Korea decides to send around 10,000 soldiers to support Russia in Ukraine war: Seoul - Yonhap, Oct 18, 2024

U.s. media are also all over the them

Believable.....seeing that will draw more recruits

Ha, I don't think the NK military is volunteer-based...

No ... I think you're right. I watched a horrible documentary on some NK escaped soldiers.
The South Korean doctors said that they were loaded with parasites including tapeworms and other types of stomach worms as well as bloodworms.
What a horrifying existence.

The NK regime does not regard them as human beings. Just like the rest of their country.

It's embarrassing that such a state exists, in 2024.

The solution to your Ukraines problems have always been very simple.

The breakaway provinces that don't want to be with Ukraine will be happier with Russia and the Ukrainians will be much happier having a country back instead of a smoldering junkyard.

All of this just so NATO for the add more to there little pay for play empire. An entire country flushed down the toilet for the greed of a few senseless men.
