In the past hour, Scripps News featured US Sec. of Defense, Austin, stating that presence of Norks in Russia now seems to be confirmed. S Korea is now considering assistance to Ukraine, especially after Norks blew up their own rail line, and roads leading from the border between the 2 countries into Nork territory. While not ON S Korea territory, this destruction of cross border travel apparently IS IN VIOLATION of some existing agreement for travel and communication. Paints a definite picture of deterioration in already strained Nork/Sork relations. We still have troops in S Korea, and now it appears SK will return the favor by helping our friends in Ukraine.
Glad to see that Ukraine is already making life unpleasant for the lucky(?) Norks who thought life might be better serving in Russia. Perhaps more food since Russia has announced a full potato crop. Sad to think they are so far down a potato meal represents UP. Ah, the glories of communism and dictatorship.
Norks will be sent to Kursk for counteroffensive. Putin just pushed back the deadline for Russia to retake captured Kursk territory to Feb 1 with another deadline for Russia to create a buffer zone in Ukraine in Sumy region to protect Kursk by Feb 25.
There's a Telegram post on a Russian father and two sons KIA, one after another. If true, this may be testament to the unsentimental way the Russians are using recruits. While Saving Private Ryan is fiction, there was some effort at the DOD to spare families the trauma of having their entire male lines eliminated.
