This will presumably have China's blessing.

chadbourn.bsky.social•173 days ago

Most likely. A great move for China - prolonging the war to distract and destabilise the West while someone else carries all the risk.

Will also give some NK troops actual combat experience, which they haven't had for 70 years. I wonder how you say Legion Kondor in Korean.

We also get to see if the world’s fourth biggest army is as much of a paper tiger as Russia’s.

momerathe.bsky.social•173 days ago

Is that a big number? I lack the background knowledge to know if that's a big deal or a token gesture.

momerathe.bsky.social•173 days ago

Also, if Ukraine captures any of them as POWs, maybe it should re-patriate them to South Korea :)

chadbourn.bsky.social•173 days ago

Several have already defected. The danger when you take North Koreans out of North Korea.

Even in Russia they will soon start to realise they’ve been fed a lie their whole lives..

chadbourn.bsky.social•173 days ago

Russia is losing around 1k a day in Ukraine, but these should be better trained.

eriugam.bsky.social•173 days ago

This is a major escalation, surely the West must respond accordingly.

xneardark.bsky.social•173 days ago

I wonder how many will defect?

mragusa.bsky.social•173 days ago

In other words, Russia is out of soldiers.

Facts v Fuckwits... How do North Korean Soldiers get to Russia... quietly ?

mumko.bsky.social•173 days ago

Crossing the border, I guess?!

poptrash1966.bsky.social•173 days ago

Borders... ? Paris, Texas... Ry Cooder.... The Utmost Guitar.... Sit back.. Find some... Listen.... then come back.... My Gun is now LOADED... You wanna say something...?

mumko.bsky.social•173 days ago

Hope you are ok. Take care.

poptrash1966.bsky.social•173 days ago

I do not have enough drugs to end My story... yet

poptrash1966.bsky.social•173 days ago

ALL THESE NUCLEAR WEAPONS... NOBODY HAS THE BOLLOCKS TO USE ONE.... Let us BOMB TUNGUSKA AGAIN... Then maybe somebody will see sense...

emiltain.bsky.social•173 days ago

The way Russia is deploying its troops, this support won't even last for two weeks.

astris.bsky.social•173 days ago

is that a little or a lot for this conflict

chadbourn.bsky.social•173 days ago

They’ll be better trained than Russian conscripts, but at the rate of burn of the Putin meatgrinder they won’t last long.

benrattigan.com•173 days ago

Surely some of them are going to take that opportunity to flee North Korea?

olthwaiteeric.bsky.social•173 days ago

12 days worth of meat

euantaylor.bsky.social•173 days ago

Will South Korea send troops to fight for Ukraine?

chadbourn.bsky.social•173 days ago

I would doubt it. That would bring the conflict back home.
