Putin thanks Kim for North Koreans fighting in Ukraine
BBC News ^ | 9/3/2025 | Thomas Mackintosh, Jean Mackenzie

Russia's Vladimir Putin has thanked Kim Jong Un for the courage of his troops who have been fighting in Ukraine on the Russian side. The two leaders met on Wednesday in Beijing as China held one of its largest ever military parades, which commemorated 80 years since the end of the Second World War in Asia.

"Your soldiers fought courageously and heroically," Putin told Kim during Wednesday's talks.

"I would like to note that we will never forget the sacrifices that your armed forces and the families of your servicemen have suffered."

Kim expressed his gratitude for the Russian leader's acknowledgement of North Korea's troops and said bilateral relations between the two countries had been "advancing across all areas" - referencing Pyongyang's involvement in the "joint struggle" with Russia in Ukraine.

"If there is any way we can assist Russia, we will certainly do it as a fraternal duty."

The Putin fanboys assured us that North Koreans fighting in Ukraine was a myth.

As this is the BBC, it becomes time for Britain to enter the war officially, as official ally to the Zelensky government. It would be a little more proactive than a Brit, Starmer, lobbying an American, President Trump, to go first.

But as yet the Union Jack has done “jack.”

it’s mindblowing that the soviets, who once sponsored the norks in the korean war and provided the norks advanced air support then, are now so weak that they have to pay the norks to help prop up the soviets’ failing war against the tiny country of Ukraine ...

The period of weakness up to early 2023 ended, and it now the west who is weakened. After NATO officers failed to direct 200,000 screaming Uke’s back into Crimea from May-Oct 23 and then their failed incursion into Kursk in Aug24-Apr25; they wasted the cream of mechanized and reserve forces NATO nations were capable of producing and arming.

When you live the US MSM bubble you have ideas like that. Russia is killing 60,000 Ukes a month and removing 90,000 a month from the battlefield. The breaking point is near.

Remember that Trump and Putin did not waste much bandwidth on Ukraine - Putin can have; Trump has a Trade War against Brics to conduct now.

The great tragedy of Zeepers like you is spending hour after hour of your miserable lives attempting to defend the indefensible, including the degenerate, gay-dancing grifter you all adore.

SLOBBO URCRAYKNEE!

The great tragedy of people like you is how far you’ve come as lapdog mouthpiece for the Kremlin. Putin is surely very proud of you. No doubt if you went to Moscow he’d hang a medal on you.

Man, you're an unapologetic, well-established Zeeper rumpswab and endlessly blabbering mouthpiece for one of the most corrupt countries in Europe and its degenerate, grifting, gay-dancing "leader."

When are you going to fight for your pole-smoking hero now that he's begging for bodies? He's allowing 60+ old farts to sign up so get cracking, Zeepie!

"Your gutter language defines you and explains your service cause."

Your endless, poncey blowhardery and rumpswabbery for one of the most corrupt countries on earth, your tiresome and embarrassing shilling for a vile, neocon/leftist/globalist supported project is what defines you.

The fact that you're on the same side as the Democrat Party, war pig RINOs, leftist politicians around the world, leftwing NGOs, the foul UN, the vile Legacy Media, the degenerate entertainment industry, the foul EU leadership, the foul WEF, the anarcho-tyrannical UK, almost all America-hating ideologues and leftist financiers like the Soros clan, the principals at Blackrock, etc. etc. etc., defines exactly what you are: Corrupt to the core.

No fifty cent words or turgid, endless circular arguments; no flaccid tapping on your little tin war drum in concert with the other humorless, sad-sack Zeepers here can mask that pathetic reality.
