N. Korea made it clear it is willing to assist in Russia's war, news agency reported This would include providing a vast fighting force and builders to repair damage

In return, it said grain and energy would be supplied to Kim's stricken economy Reacting, reserve colonel Igor Korotchenko told Russian state TV: 'We shouldn't be shy in accepting the hand extended to us by Kim Jong-un.' Russia and North Korea have shared close ties dating back to 1948, when Soviet Union became first country to recognise DPRK. Putin and Kim last met in 2019

A desperate Vladimir Putin is considering turning to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un for help in his invasion of Ukraine, and is willing to offer energy and grain in return for 100,000 soldiers, according to reports in Russia.

North Korea has made it clear through 'diplomatic channels' that as well as providing builders to repair war damage, it is ready to supply a vast fighting force in an attempt to tip the balance in Moscow's favour, reported Regnum news agency.

They would be deployed to the forces of the separatist pro-Putin Donetsk People's Republic [DPR] and Luhansk People's Republic [LPR], both of which Kim has recently recognised as independent countries.

'The country is ready to transfer up to 100,000 of its soldiers to Donbas,' said the report by the pro-Kremlin news agency. 'Pyongyang will be able to transfer its tactical units to Donbas.'

In return, grain and energy would be supplied to Kim's stricken economy.

A leading defence expert in Moscow, reserve colonel Igor Korotchenko, told Russian state TV: 'We shouldn't be shy in accepting the hand extended to us by Kim Jong-un.'

So this is fake news?

Nowadays, 99% of news if fake news. The media has so poisoned the well, nothing they say can be taken at face value.

Sounds like a great way to get 100,000 Norks to disperse into Eastern Europe. They will be half starved scarecrows who will ravage the countryside for every scrap of food before feeling their commanders to seek refuge where they can. They may make a big noise for a few days but exposing Nork troops to the wealth and abundance, even during this idiocy, would be enough for them to desert.

Is it true that if Putin won’t accept their help, Biden and NATO will welcome them as independent contractors?

Putin has his pint sized Mongolian terrors called Buryats fighting for him in Ukraine. So Biden/NATO can even up the score by contracting pint sized Norks to go up against them. There is plenty of lush green grass in Ukraine for the Norks to eat.

Go ahead and laugh, but if Zelenskyy sees 100,000 Norks charging at him doing the Horse Riders rap dance, there is an excellent chance he'll drop our money and run.

An interesting idea, looking at it from the Russian point of view. It would be a daunting task to transport NKorea troops and armaments halfway around the world to Ukraine, however.

Meanwhile, we are well situated in America as far as heating this winter and cheap enough gasoline for our automobiles. We have enough *made in America* oil and gas to see us through. But I like your pal Bad Vlad and the discipline he will be exerting on Germany and Europe this winter. When they freeze enough in their dimly lit cities, they will rout the Greenies who are responsible for all the dumb and indulgent (virtue signalling) energy policies in Europe.

Above all others, I despise the Greenies. And now they are trying to F the farmers in Holland, Ireland and Canada via nitrogen fertilizer emissions policies. How retarded and self-suicidal can you get?

What should the NK bounty be? Remember that the Russians paid bounties to the Taliban for killing US soldiers.

Yep. The Norks don’t speak the language, are strangers to the populace, don’t know the customs, and don’t know the geography. We made the same mistake in Vietnam, Korea, Kosovo, and Iraq. Let them taste a guerrilla war and it’s fury. The Norks will end up shooting civilians because they look like the enemy.
