50,000 Russian and North Korean Troops Mass Ahead of Attack, U.S. Says

Ukrainian officials expect a counteroffensive in western Russia to begin in the coming days as North Korea’s troops train with Russian forces.

-snip-

The Russian military has assembled a force of 50,000 soldiers, including North Korean troops, as it prepares to begin an assault aimed at reclaiming territory seized by Ukraine in the Kursk region of Russia, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials.

-snip-

North Korea has sent more than 10,000 troops to fight with Russia in Kursk, American officials say. The troops are wearing Russian uniforms and have been equipped by Moscow, but they will probably fight in their own discrete units, U.S. defense officials said.

Ukrainian officials said Moscow had supplied the North Korean forces with machine guns, sniper rifles, antitank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades.

Russia has been training the North Koreans in artillery fire, basic infantry tactics and, critically, trench clearing, American officials said. That training suggests that at least some of the North Korean forces will be involved in frontal assaults on Ukraine’s dug-in defensive positions.

-snip-

A Ukrainian official said the North Korean forces had been divided into two groups, an assault unit and a support unit, which will help provide security inside the territory recaptured from Ukrainian forces.

Trump, in his own words, flatly stated that Russia has perpetrated a "holocaust...a horrible thing" upon Ukraine.

"We're watching a holocaust. We're watching something that I've never seen before. [Russia] is blowing up buildings, with children, with women, with professionals, with people, just people, they're blowing up indiscriminately. They're just shooting massive missiles and rockets into these buildings and everybody is dying."

"The numbers are far worse than what you're seeing on television. I don't know if they [are] keeping them down. When you see buildings being blown up and then they say one person died? Give me a break. Many people are dying and we're allowing this to happen."

"They have to stop it and they have to stop it now, but they don't respect the United States, and the United States is not doing anything about it. This is a holocaust, this is a horrible thing that's happening and you see it on television every night."

---- "My sources are telling me stuff so I made up this story."

When the NYTimes and other "news" write "American officials say," images of "American officials" of the moment come to mind.

When the comments from "Stronk & Doink" as Twitter-sourced images are made, one finds that ACTUAL prvable details, ACTUAL names and ACTUAL citations are missing in action.

This is an opportunity for Russia and North Korea to lose as many men in a single day as we lost in 10 years of Vietnam...

A great opportunity for the Ukrainians to take care of business with all the aid we’ve given them.

The military and the nomenklatura always eat well.

The nomenklatura don’t want to be surrounded by hungry men with guns!

Curious why a picture of a NK troop being hit by a drone dropped munition gets deleted. That is what the NKs signed up for

True or not true - I don’t know.

But I lean on it being propaganda.

50,000 Russian and North Korean Troops Mass Ahead of Attack, U.S. Says

Well, if so, thousands of Uke GloboHomoPedoNazis are going to kiss their Degenerate asses and their Hunter Biden photos goodbye.

However, "U.S. Says" is about the most unreliable statement in media today.

Still, dead Nazis are a good thing.
