Newsweek ^ | 10/18/2024 | Shamim Chowdhury AND Barney Henderson

North Korean special forces troops have been seen boarding Russian ships and being transported to the mainland in satellite images released by South Korea's intelligence services.

The images, from mid August, show North Korean troops boarding Russian naval transport ships and then organizing on the mainland.

South Korea's National Intelligence Service stated four landing ships and three escort ships belonging to the Russian Pacific Fleet completed the first transport of approximately 1,500 North Korean special forces from near Chongjin, Hamhung, and Musudan, North Korea, to Vladivostok, Russia.

A second transport operation is scheduled to take place soon, according to the government website.

If confirmed, this would be the first time that the Russian Navy had entered North Korean waters since 1990.

Further intelligence reports released on Friday by South Korea stated that North Korea had sent a total of 12,000 troops to assist Russia in its ongoing war against Ukraine.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) stated that the North Korean troops have organized into four brigades.

Keep talking common sense like that and peace might break out.

Although that sense was ignored what seems a long time ago.

By now a lot of animosity (to put it lightly) has been cemented in place between the belligerents.

--- "Too funny that your Putin is having to import Nork midgets into Kursk!"

Hi, little man,

Your humor is growing dull, not only by repetition but also by inattention to detail. Your Putin" is of course a taunt, for I have no "Putin." One observes however that the suggestion you might support MM -- Mark Milley -- in his refusal to obey President Trump was not answered with a denial. So MM=MM seems a possible conclusion as to being adjacent stances.

As to "Nork midgets into Kursk" this suggests your "military intelligence" has some idea of where these troops will be ordered, suggesting the phrase -- "your Putin" -- is far more apt for you, MIC.

As to that very repetitive "bring your parade uniform," here is a link to a Getty image,as the image itself cannot be posted in Free Republic. But your MM in his parade uniform is there with your Zelensky and your Lloyd Austin of Raytheon fame and your Olena Zelenska, who looks taller than....

MM, MM, mmm good. :)

Even so, and specifically because you did not address the REAL issue:

Vote Trump in 2024, at the minimum to dethrone the corruption of the Democrats and especially the Cheny-Obama-Biden-Harris-Clinton cabal, and have a chance to shrink the too-expensive administrative state.

Not a zeeper, but North Korea and Russia at war together again and attacking in Europe, is a story that needs to be covered as much as it can be, this is of major interest to the typical freeper.

One guy's got a parade uniform including white gloves, another's got a suit, and the little man has his trademark olive drab costume, a la Arafat's so long ago. Cosplay.

Vote Trump in 2024, at the minimum to dethrone the corruption of the Democrats and especially the Cheny-Obama-Biden-Harris-Clinton cabal, and have a chance to shrink the too-expensive administrative state. And because some who post on threads fail to clarify their political stance.....

Marcus - this is the worst BS you have published since “grandmothers destroy Russian tanks with broomsticks” back in March 2022.

Watch for mass defections. How long before the first NK soldier is captured by the Ukes?

"marcusclimaximus Humiliated As Attempt To Stiffen Flaccid Ukrainian Front Line In Kursk Takes 3 Days, Ends In Failure!"

Even some helping reach-around hands from WeakNews fiction writers Shamim Chowdhury and Barney Henderson failed, and rubbed marcus the wrong way, in the wrong end.

Thanks for posting the BBC pix by Lee Durant from 2022 to a thread about North Koreans traveling to Vladivostok in October 2024.

Source of your graphic: Ukraine war: Bucha street littered with burned-out tanks and corpses BBC, 2 April 2022

Imagine that. Both sides in a war suffer losses of men and materiel. Who knew?

The Maxar Technologies photo is from 2022, as well. Source of your graphic: Ukraine conflict: Dread in Kyiv as huge Russian convoy advances BBC, 1 March 2022

Proof positive that in October of 2024, North Koreans are only now going to Russia. Or something.

Interesting to consider politics today here in America, in 2024.

Vote Trump in 2024 at the minimum to rebel against the massive corruption of the Democrats and adjacent RINOs, and have a chance to excise some of the fat from the administrative state.

i believe Korean troops are bloodless/never fought and this gives them a proving ground to blood some of their troops without a local war BEFORE the local conflicts come...

Tell Kim Jonk Putin to leave Ukraine.

You do it!
