House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) delivered a scathing rebuke of the Biden-Harris Administration, accusing it of failing to provide Congress with critical intelligence on the recent movement of North Korean troops into Russian territory.
Turner issued a letter to Joe Biden demanding immediate action and transparency as tensions escalate over North Korea’s growing military involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Turner expressed deep concerns over reports that North Korea has mobilized thousands of soldiers in support of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, calling the situation a “dangerous and extreme escalation.”
Chairman Turner emphasized that the Biden administration has kept Congress in the dark, neglecting to brief key intelligence and defense committees about the alarming developments.
In his letter to the president, Turner cited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent warnings at NATO headquarters, where Zelenskyy alerted world leaders that North Korea has deployed roughly 10,000 troops prepared to join Russia’s fight against Ukraine. WATCH:
Zelensky seems to have lost control, now accusing North Korea, Iran, Russia, and China of joining forces against Ukraine.
He’s issued an ultimatum: either Ukraine becomes a NATO member or it’s armed with nuclear weapons.

Read the letter below:
Dear President Biden,
According to news reports, at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) headquarters yesterday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned, “We know about 10,000 soldiers of North Korea … are preparing to (start) fighting against us. This is really an urgent thing, I spoke about it with the United States, I spoke about it with all the leaders.”
Public reports from Ukrainian and South Korean intelligence agencies detail possible movement of North Korean troops on Russian naval vessels this month. The administration has not briefed the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence or the House Armed Services Committee of any assessments by U.S. intelligence agencies or the Department of Defense regarding these troop movements.
These troop movements, if true, are alarming and are an extreme escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. They require an immediate response from the United States and our NATO allies to avoid a widening conflict.
North Korean troops, either attacking Ukraine from Russian territory or entering into Ukrainian territory, must be a red line for the United States and NATO. Your administration must make that absolutely clear and unequivocal.
Due to the urgency of this matter, I call for an immediate classified briefing of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence concerning the possible engagement of North Korean troops in a potentially escalating and broadening Ukrainian conflict.
Why has the Biden-Harris Administration failed to actively brief Congress about the movement of North Korean troops into Russia?
Today, I sent a letter to President Biden demanding that his administration give @HouseIntel answers and that the use of North Korean troops against… pic.twitter.com/7wKUHj6iWj

Meanwhile, South Korean intelligence agencies have corroborated the growing threat, reporting that North Korea has already shipped 1,500 special forces soldiers to Russia, with plans to send as many as 12,000 troops to support the Kremlin, according to far-left CNN.
This development follows earlier reports of North Korean military units being transported via Russian naval ships, while Russian transport planes continue to shuttle between Vladivostok and Pyongyang. According to South Korean officials, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has personally inspected many of these forces.
The GOP leadership is now pressing Biden to take swift and decisive action before it’s too late.
Back in June of this year, Putin signed a deal with Kim Jong Un that included a mutual defense agreement, thanks to the globalist warmongers (the Biden Regime, NATO, UN, EU, MIC), pushing the two countries together.
Now Russia and North Korea will be training together and there will be tech transfers between them, which means Kim's unstable rockets will hit their intended targets.
This wouldn't have happened under a Trump Administration.
I bet he’s not even staying up to the advertised 4pm cutoff anymore. Have we even gotten a public announcement from DOD on this troop movement? Why or why not?
Biden and Harris PROBABLY HAD NO CLUE THIS WAS HAPPENING!
Neocon rattler stamping his feet and squeaking about a “red line” - that zero Americans GAF about.
Just throw more of our kids’ treasury at it - yappy MIC TOOL scumbag.
Probably because it’s not happening the way Zelensky and the ROKs are spinning it.
Are North Koreans doing joint training in Russia?
Given the growing military and economic ties between KN and Russia..
Probably.
In Eastern Russian. Where the KN border is about
40 miles from Vladivostok and where KN tourism and business
is a norm.
>>>>Biden and Harris PROBABLY HAD NO CLUE THIS WAS HAPPENING!<<<<
Willful ignorance.
I can see NK and Russia getting together to attack us on one front....and China and Iran doing the same thing!!
>>>>Neocon rattler stamping his feet and squeaking about a “red line” - that zero Americans GAF about.

If you look up “Deep State” in the dictionary, you’ll see Turner’s pic.
There’s a campaign to run.
>>>>There’s a campaign to run.<<<<
And Turner’s up for reelection.
RINO Turner vs Flaming Liberal Cox
Pretty sure I get your meaning. 😳😊👍
“House Intel Chair Mike Turner Slams Biden-Harris Regime for Failing to Brief Congress on North Korean Troop Movements into Russia”
Probably because it never happened.
Harris is running the show now - she prolly didn’t think she needed to make a visit to the Hill to talk to the 51 intelligence agencies - you know, to maybe avert WWIII.
Seriesly - what’s she going to say “I worked at McDonalds” ? “I was raised by my mother” ?
Jeez… another Neocon having wet daydreams of Redlines.
I fear you are correct. Try defending South Korea, Middle East and Europe and Taiwan. We would have to pick 1 maybe 2 at best.
Maybe we should bomb Laos and Cambodia again.
DUDE! Neither Biden or Harris Knew!!!! Joe's checked out years ago and well Kamala is only there for one reason....

Shortly after RAND proposed a U.S. information operation campaign around the theme of North Korean soldiers in Russia the Ukrainian military intelligence service under CIA trainee Budanov started to spread rumors of North Korean soldiers soon to fight on the Russian side. The numbers claimed by Budanov have since steadily increased. South Korean intelligence, also associated with the CIA, and U.S. media have joined the campaign. The chair of the House Intelligence Committee is milking the campaign to make political points.
Evidence that was supposed to support the claims has been exposed as being fake. The whole story is thus based on nothing but 'intelligence' rumors which are following a RAND proposed script. Don't fall for it.
Biden/Harris probably wish that they could bring
bring North Korean troops to the USA to keep those
annoying conservative Trump supporters and other
people in line.
