Russia is deploying “human waves” of North Korean soldiers, the U.S. said Friday, and at least one soldier captured by Ukraine died of his injuries.

According to White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby, some North Korean soldiers have taken their own lives rather than surrendering to Ukrainian forces.

I’ve seen two fuzzy photos, each showing one soldier. Willy OMAN, the Aussie blogger who is a Ukraine supporter, says he can’t find any real evidence of the Norks being there.

Yeah.

If you Google “North Koreans fighting in Ukraine” and select images, there’s lots of pictures. Lots of pictures of North Korean equipment and dead North Korean soldiers too.

Just a casual look at “Reporting from Ukraine’s” video catalogue is enough to induce laughter at how one-sided it is.

I didn’t see any identifiable humans in that video.

It’s largely stock photos, with one or two bits that are marked as unverified.

Better to have soldiers like them defending us than American “soldiers” like Bowie Bergdahl — and their woke leaders at the Pentagon.

The North Koreans are poorly trained and likely are issued hand me down weapons. Some reports indicate that they like many people in North Korea are malnourished. The Russians are using them for cannon fodder.

There are several drone videos on YouTube that clearly show Asian soldiers being eliminated. No direct confirmation they are Norks that I’m aware of.

I learned everything I need to know about the Korean War from M*A*S*H, especially the rantings of Capt. Benjamin Franklin “HaWkeye” Pierce.

Is there any evidence at all of even one North Korean fighting in Russia/Ukraine?

Have they recovered one corpse?

one POW?

any documents or uniforms?

any video evidence?

OR - are we just pushing and promoting a long-term Western propaganda narrative?

So much BS. Trying to mock the Russians as they win battle after battle. Believe little coming out of Keiv.

that horrible regime in North Korea - no preaching of the Gospel, no Bibles.....

= = =
But God says, esp. verses 19 & 20 . . .

How does He work this out in Nork?

Well, He IS God, and enjoys a challenge.

Romans 1:
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Given that Russia has at least 5 to 10 million ethnic Asians amongst its population, it wouldn’t be surprising if Russian forces have Asian-looking members.

But here’s my point: at this juncture, east Ukraine is the most surveilled, photographed, filmed battlefield in history.

There are literally thousands of drones in the air at any time; almost every soldier on both sides has a camera phone

Yet there’s not been a single image, video, uniform or document that legibly shows these “human waves” of North Koreans?

Given that this is the same war where video game footage was passed off as live combat video (and more than once, by legacy media sources!), I’m rather skeptical of claims that boil down to “the defense ministry says this” or “this intelligence spokesman says that”.

My father was active in the Korean War, too, a lcdr helicopter pilot flying reconnaissance and rescue missions from the USS Princeton(HU-1 the first helicopter unit in the US Navy). He was a flight instructor prior to the Korean War and a fighter pilot in WWII and a Quiet Birdmen member.

My dad was the port 5 inch gunnery officer on the USS Iowa. His crew took out the Winter communist ammo stores at Wonsan Harbor in Sept 1952. The opportunity was prompted by small arms fire directed at the Iowa. My dad requested permission to return fire under the rules of engagement. His crew intentionally overshot the source of the arms fire to nail the ammo depot.

I guess you can believe anything you want to.

If you’ve convinced yourself that there’s no North Koreans fighting Ukraine for the neo-Soviets, then no amount of evidence will change your mind.

What would be evidence enough for you to change your mind and believe that there are North Koreans fighting in Ukraine?

If you’ve convinced yourself that there’s no North Koreans fighting Ukraine for the neo-Soviets, then no amount of evidence will change your mind.

The issue is that this war has already demonstrated bold claims used as a justification for greater escalation that turned out to be utterly false (Ghost of Kiev anyone?). The Daily Mail just recently had to retract a story about North Koreans in Kursk because their photo evidence turned out to be photoshopped.

Numerous allegations have been made of the Norks fighting in "human waves" in one of, if not the), most actively surveilled battlefields in human history, yet the documentary evidence is flimsy or unverified; and we're expected to trust it just because defense officials from Ukraine, USA, and/or South Korea (who, mind you, just had their President impeached/ousted after he declared martial law earlier in December, his justification being that the National Assembly was too "pro-North Korean") say "just trust us, bro"?

A little bit of incredulity is hardly unexpected, don't you think?
