US says 8,000 North Korean soldiers to begin combat operations in war with Ukraine 'in coming days'
Fox News ^ | Oct 31, 2024 | Caitlin McFall

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed on Thursday that 8,000 North Korean soldiers in Russia are expected to begin combat operations against Ukrainian troops in Kursk "in the coming days."

The secretary said that of the 10,000 North Korean soldiers believed to have been sent to Russia for training, 80% of that force is now in the Kursk region, where Ukraine first launched an incursion in August.

Ukraine has since captured and held onto roughly 460 square miles according to reports earlier this month, not only prompting civilian evacuations from the region but also forcing Russia to fight its war on its own territory.

Don’t worry folks, Biden and Blinken are right on this, not Trump and those garbage people

If they bleed, they can and will be killed... Just like the hundreds of thousands of Russian’s who’ve already perished.

note to you: they mean Kursk Oblast where UKR troops have a foothold, not the city of Kursk.

wouldn’t it be fun if 10,000 NorKs suddenly surrendered as they cross the UKR border and applied for assylum. Wouldn’t Soros finance their room and boards?

Bring their guns with them. We can turn them over to the Sunni/Shia folks. Whoever needs help.

Soros would send them back to North Korea.

More proof here that Putin’s regime is weak and Potemkin.

Hypothetical here.
If the USA somehow asked US soldiers to volunteer to fight in Ukraine against the Russian invasion, would they get takers signing up in significant numbers? Why or why not?

The Ukis better not have squandered the cluster munitions we sent them. They are going to need them soon.

Russia probably had to feed them for a couple of weeks to get their strength up enough to fight.

And many more hundreds of thousands of Ukranian soldiers AND women and children.

But let’s send more money and weapons we can’t spare to a losing and NOT OUR cause.

They would definitely get takers. Significant numbers? Not sure but at this time there are quite a few retired US soldiers fighting against Russia in Ukraine against the US Govt’s recommendation not to do so.

Just like 500,000 Ukies too.
France should send 50,000 French Surrender Monkeys To Help YouCrayne.
That should balance the scales.
