  1. This is to get North Korean battle experience before any fighting between south korea or helping to assist china with Taiwan.

    They had no experience since the Korean war. This will give them training even though most will be dead better be the officer be like Russian higher ups just sitting in the back.
    This also offers them training on newer equipment since most their gear is back from the 60s to 70s.

    As a side note i bet there is train from Russia for more gas and food for this arrangement.
    Never know if what north Korea is sending as soldiers can be their own prisoner as well.

    Current in Russia it is voluntary prisoner service with hopes of being set free. North Korea is forcing whomever to go.

    The longer this goes on, the greater the risk of multiple outside countries getting directly involved. Ukraine should have been given everything it needed 18 months ago and thousands of men would still be alive and able to fight.

  3. PoliticalCanvas on

    NATO, South Korea, West and it’s allies, 16th year in a row:

    “It’s bad, but they have NUKES! So we CANNOT to do nothing except de-escalation!

    Only when after decades of our inaction, getting used to impunity, much bigger number of totalitarian countries with nukes than it was in 1991 year, will begin WW3, WE WILL REACT! We promise!

    But now we need a little more profits and political ratings…”

  4. If any North Koreans are captured in Ukraine, South Korea might be very interested in questioning them for intel for both the Ukraine and South Korean regions. South Korea should probably have a team on standby to travel.

    Had to change troops since Ukraine drone AI has a lock on the Russian soldiers gear.

  6. Another humiliation for Russia. Is it even worth it? 3 000 troops is only a couple of days’ worth of casualties. Good luck communicating with eachother and avoiding friendly fire…

  7. Economies are much more fragile than a hundred years ago, the areas they are drawing from just can’t be tapped as much

  8. SK should be able to learn drone tactics from Ukraine, and make sure to absolutely flood Ukrainian side of the border, where NK troops are expected to show up.

    Russia ABSOLUTELY went balls to the wall to strike and discourage international legion when it formed up the first few days into the conflict.

    SK would likely be better off from a security standpoint, if as few as possible come back from Russia with useful veteran skills, and violently discouraging any more RU-NK war cooperation.

    Russia is sick of getting their own people killed so now they want North Koreans to die for them.

  10. Seriously fuck this new axis of evil. Take the gloves off and allowe Ukraine to hit inside Russia for one. Then time for bigger weapons and a full destruction of Russias military!

    Imperialist Russia, already churning through their subjects in the far east and Africa, turn to new areas of their empire of influence.

    A new hatred for another nation unlocked for Ukraine, what a fuck load of shit this is.

  13. Can’t imagine going from the propaganda machine of Korea where you’re the most powerful country in the world only to find out how spooky modern western tech actually is.

  14. If Qualcomm is allowed to purchase Intel, I wonder what they will do with all those sources Intel has…

  15. Honestly Putin won’t stop with Ukraine if he wins. Why let him take it then. The gloves are off he doesn’t wanna play by the rules he wants why should we. No Russian is going to let him use his nukes they our the most paranoid power hungry back stabbers in world history they sooner will throw him out the window then see the world end. Putin is modern day Stalin. He just wants the old Russian empire just like him back.

    This is good. We need to see how North Koreans fight, since Kim destroyed the roads. If they are prepping for a fight on the peninsula, this action in Ukraine might give us valuable information.

    I hope those guys leg it to the border. Poor SOBs. Finally get to leave NK but you’re supposed to die for Putin’s ego.

    South Korea could send gamers and drones just to keep it getting weirder.

    edit: to Ukraine

  19. That’s just a fancy way of saying North Korea has officially invaded Ukraine as a hostile military force.

    So, now we need to worry about appeasing TWO dictators at the same time, NATO better get those lips ready for Big Daddy Un once Putin’s happy

    I mean, unless we suddenly decide to do more than sternly scold him and pass more sanctions on the most heavily sanctioned country in the world!
