North Korean troops will become 'cannon fodder' if they aid Russia in Ukraine, Pentagon says
Business Insider ^ | 6/26/24 | Sinead Baker

North Korean soldiers sent to aid Russia in Ukraine would be "cannon fodder," the Pentagon said.

The two nations signed a new security pact, and some Korean units look set to go to Ukraine.

Russia is known for treating its soldiers as highly disposable and has suffered high death tolls.

North Korean troops that are sent to Ukraine to aid in Russia's war would become "cannon fodder," the Pentagon said.

Uh, well yes. Wasn’t that assumed? Of course, this line is typical Business Insider BS, “ Russia is known for treating its soldiers as highly disposable and has suffered high death tolls.” That’s why having 1.3 million NORK soldiers is so important. Whether Wagner cons or NORK storm troopers, this is how Russia speeds up the process.

The number of soldiers sent will probably be more symbolic than anything else. I highly doubt that Kim would send enough soldiers to put his own regime at risk.

Major General press secretary trying to sound like George Patton. So typical of the pentagon these days. Huff and puff like you know what’s happening.

Yeah, our green-haired pronoun-demanding troops with nose rings will get right up on it.

It would be smart to have a Korean speaking person talk over a loud speaker to them. Tell them to shoot the Russian standing next to them and surrender and we’ll give you sanctuary. Let’s see how many of Kim’s slaves really want to fight Putin’s war.

Oh, sure!

Let's see, where have we heard this crap before?

-We'll send our fleet and wipe out them Houthis
-The mother of all sanctions will sink the Ruskies
-There were no Americans left behind when we escaped Afghanistan
-Hookers peed on Trump's hotel bed
-$40 trillion deficits don't matter
-No! I did not have sex with that woman!
-We'll show them Vietnamese -- as we tucked tail and ran

Just a few of the whoppers we hear after they collect our tax money and proceed to squander it away. -

Those “1.3 million” Norks might be used as an excuse to escalate our involvement in Ukraine. Match their cannon fodder with our own.

Well, anything the pentagon says has got to be true. Right?

I respectfully disagree. This is an excellent opportunity for his soldiers to gain battlefield experience. Those that survive will pass their knowledge on.

Would it impact the Uke Russian battlefield if the Norks sent 100,000 combat troops and fed them well?

North Korean troops are rather poorly equipped and trained.
Since the leadership (Kim) relies in atomic weapons, the conventional weapons are very outdated.
They rely on mass engagement.

Basically, North Koreans will be clobbered, if there is any conflict. But they will inflict some damage to their enemies.
So nobody is really trying to engage them.

You must realize these NORK troops will be fighting the two week wonder, press gang boys and old men who now constitute the bled white Uke army.

Deployed DPRK troops will be properly fed for the first time.

Russia is busting the international sanctions, including China’s, on the NORKS all to hell. For the first time in eighty years perhaps all of North Korea will be fed. The NORKS will get the same nuclear energy deal the Russians are giving the Bolivians. Russia will bring the NORKS and their strategic nuclear forces into the 21st century. Little Rocket Man would give his left testicle for all of this if necessary. A couple hundred thousand dead NORK soldiers for that Russian help is still a good deal for the NORKS.

Do some research.
BI is BS just like pentagon propaganda.
NK is sending an engineering group to work on rebulding infrastructure no where near the front lines. They won’t matter regardless of what they do.

Have you read the Russo/NORK Alliance document? Of course not! Go look it up and check out Article 4. Do that rather than relying on what you pull out of your backside.
