Up to 100,000 North Korean soldiers could be sent to bolster Vladimir Putin’s forces fighting Ukraine, according to Russian reports.

A leading defence expert in Moscow, reserve colonel Igor Korotchenko, told state TV: “We shouldn’t be shy in accepting the hand extended to us by Kim Jong-un.”

North Korea has made it clear through “diplomatic channels” that as well as providing builders to repair war damage, it is ready to supply a vast fighting force, reported Regnum news agency.

They would be deployed to the forces of the separatist pro-Putin Donetsk People’s Republic [DPR] and Luhansk People’s Republic [LPR], both of which Kim has recently recognised as independent countries.

“The country is ready to transfer up to 100,000 of its soldiers to Donbas,” said the report by the pro-Kremlin news agency...

I’m waiting for the complaints about North Korea being the
global police force. I’m sure they’ll be coming. Well,
maybe not.

“One billion screaming Chinamen.”

Looking back now, Red Dawn turned out to be Chinese Propaganda, as it portrayed the ChiComs as the good guys. This was when China was just starting to build up as an economic powerhouse, and pretending to be our friends, I am sure they had influence in Hollywood to paint that picture.

Feed them that’s right. The Sorks should send their own contingent with bullhorns. Won’t need a hundred k of them.

Because nothing is happening in the far east right now and Kim Jong can really use the VladBucks he would get for renting out 10% of his ground forces. /s

That would be a great opportunity to weaken North Korea. Just make sure they don’t go home in one piece.

There is zero deterrent to any country jumping in there to help Russia. There are no repercussions since Democrats and Potato Hwad Biden are the American Commander In Charge of our Armed Forces.

Interesting, if true.

I think that was just a throwaway line and a nod to the current geopolitical alignments of the time.

On this particular topic, the Norks would do better to send a battalion or two and see how they do. I have a hunch they would fair very poorly.

But that’s how it works, it was subtle, but it reinforced the message that China was our friend, when the whole time they were just trying to gain leverage over us.

More noise-making by the Runt. This happens every time he’s not getting enough attention and pulling in ‘aid money’/tribute - all sent to make him ‘go away’ for awhile.

He tried this a few months ago with some missile launches - that effort died, so now it’s sending troops.

100,000 hungry North Koreans that won’t be able to do much of anything except get in the way and get killed. This is too stupid to be considered.

North Korea would be happy...especially if they don’t return: they won’t need to be fed! More food for fat boy.
