'Tshulima' must be an arabic pronunciation of a Korean word 'Cholima'(천리마.) Cholima is a word used frequently in N. Korean propaganda. For example, 'Cholima Movement' was a much trumpeted party-led drive to boost industial production in late 50's, similar to China's 'Great Leap Forward.' Apparently, this particular unit is located only in Syria. There does not seem to be Cholima unit back in N. Korea from which this particulasr contingent is from.

I suspect they are leased out for cash, goods or services. I doubt they are very good. They were just human wave cannonfodder with some modest infiltration skills during the Korean War, and the rigidity of North Korea doesn’t suggest any doctrinal changes.

Sounds like a win-win for both of them. Assad needs the soldiers and the Norks need the cash income.

They took a bus from North Korea to Syria? I’d like to see a movie about that.

Korean-Syrian version of the Varangian Guard. Assad cannot trust any Syrians to guard him.

Dang it!

And here I wrote that the North Koreans were dogging it by not helping out.

Russians, Cubans, Iraqis, Iranians, North Koreans....

All they need is American university professors and they’ll have every jackass over there.

All the totalitarian hellholes know Obama’s got less than 400 days... meaning THEY have less than 400 days to do their worst. Anyone who doesn’t hate democrats isn’t paying attention to the horror they’re creating.

Assad probably told the Norks they could eat every prisoner they could catch. No wonder they are heading to the front!
