Good.

Send an entire corps. Maybe two.

Keep them away from our ally.

They should call them the Banana Battalion. They’ll start off green, turn yellow, then die in bunches.

We get to see how good North Korean soldiers fight on a real battlefield. This could be training ground for North Korea.

Leak from the Russian Defence Ministry:

Soldiers from North Korea sent to invade Ukraine alongside Russians are being issued identity cards to pass them off as Buryats.

Buryatia is a republic occupied by Russia in eastern Siberia, where indigenous people have an Asian appearance.

Would the Ukes resort to capturing a few Nork mercenaries and promptly, publicly execute them fir being Nork mercenaries? Line Russia does with captured mercenaries fighting for Ukraine? What would the impact be?

The Russians have always sent men directly into enemy fire like the Japanese in WW2.

Russian commander: You North Korean’s, you attack those machine gun nests.

North Korean’s: We will need weapons sir.
Russian commander: Pick out the one’s you want from the enemy after you kill them.

North Korean’s rush at the machine gun nest’s...

Russian commander on radio to HQ: We are going to need more North Korean’s.

The battalion is anticipated to comprise up to 3,000 North Korean soldiers and is currently being equipped with small arms and ammunition. Which their Russian commanders believe will be adequate for their meat assaults - they should be good at it as they had great training during the Korean war from the Chinese.

They are presumed to last maybe a week before another 3,000 needs to be shipped in from the concentration camps in North Korea.

The Norks will need special downsized weapons since they are on average 3” shorter than South Koreans. Also lighter grenades, etc. Ukrainians will break them in two.

Don’t worry. There was a thread a few weeks ago that assured people that Kim Jong Un would never allow something like that.

Fun Fantasy...

The entire Battalion surrenders and asks for asylum in Ukraine.

Unfortunately, Little Kim will murder every living person in THREE generations of your family, so surrender and asylum is not going to happen.
