Russia on Saturday publicly acknowledged for the first time that North Korean forces are fighting on its side against Ukraine.

While reporting to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the situation in Kursk, southern Russia, General Valery Gerasimov praised North Korean DPRK soldiers for their efforts.

Gerasimov said the troops had shown “high professionalism, fortitude, courage and heroism,” fulfilling combat tasks “shoulder to shoulder” with Russian servicemen.

Following this admission, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that “Russia will never forget its friends from the DPRK.”

So what? There are plenty of European and US expats fighting for Ukraine. And the US has been directing the war using real-time intelligence to target the enemy. The active role the US has played in this proxy war is incredible.

And US troops have been secretly deployed to Ukraine from before Victoria Nuland’s 2014 Color Revolution.

Really? Show the proof, or is all that you have is your own speculation?

We had "advisors" in Ukraine just like we had "advisors" in Vietnam long before the war officially began, and those "advisors" weren't just "advising," in Vietnam or in Ukraine.

Remember that mysterious "training accident" a couple of months ago where four US troops "drowned" when their tank sunk in a "Lithuanian" bog?

"Lithuanian training mission" my ass. Total lie, total coverup.

Cubans in Angola-mid-1970’s. They both owed Russia and both are poor so they made a deal with the devil.

Training is a fare cry from participating in combat. Try again.

It wasn’t training. They weren’t in “Lithuania.”

The fact that you believe anything the US feral government says pegs you as brain dead and not worth bothering with.

Who cares?

We've been funding and backing neo-Nazis in Ukraine.

It is the Russians who have invaded another country, bombed their cities, and seeks to eliminate separate Ukrainian national identity, and you dare to call the Ukrainians neo-Nazis?

If South Korea invades North Korea—expect to see Russian troops there—Just as if North Korea attacks South, she would face US Troops. Its all part of the treaty Putin and Kim signed. No big deal. Kim wants a seat at the table of the Axis. If WW III starts, Kim’s job is to bottle up Japan and South Korea. This he could do with his nukes. All Russia need to pay is food and a few weapons.

We have invaded a lot of other countries, sometimes justifiably (in Afghanistan) and other times unjustifiably (like in Iraq twice).

The Russians have far more justification to be Ukraine than we did in either Iraq war.

Ukraine promised to be politically neutral and illegally installed a government hostile to Moscow that threatened Russia's naval base in Crimea and the ethnic Russian population in Ukraine.

We promised the Russians no eastward expansion of NATO and expanded to their borders.

But you're so consumed by ethnic hatred, you think the West should be able to sh$t on Russia and that the Russians should take it.

How many hundreds of people would have to be in on that silly secret?

The units, the people on the exercise, the massive rescue crowds and equipment operators, reporters, medical people, families?
