Whatever their training is, they just aren’t in the best of health based on reports of North Koreans who made it to the south and got operated on. They probably lack the comparative strength and endurance of a typical trained soldier of their supposed level.

How do you lose 5,000 men in three months?

A better question: how does Ukraine claim 5,000 deaths, but can't show one body?

Norks are retreating from Kursk because they won't be able to withstand Trump's upcoming assault on Ukraine "intelligence."

The game's over, Zeepers.

Leaflets need to be sent. Introduce them to the concept of fragging.

So much propaganda in this war. Don’t know what to believe.

There is a reason they kill themselves. They will either be sent to a labour camp to be worked to death or they will be executed to avoid news on the outside world from being spread. They were dead men walking.

“Ukrainian sources say”

Months of heavy close combat will chew up any force necessitating a withdrawal for rest and refitting.

Welp, this article is attribute to anonymous Ukrainian sources. Those sources have proven false too many times for me to believe anything they write.

And the fact that NK will practice collective responsibility against their families and either kill them or jail them.

These really are some poor bastards forced by their Government to fight for another Government, fighting a really ugly WW1 style war, in a strange land, for nothing that can possible matter in the least to them

Yes, their families will be punished anyway. We should pray for the end of North Korea and pray for its quick end.

“The game’s over, Zeepers.”

There’s this in the article: “highly trained troops”

How does the writer know this?
