Roughly 11,000 troops have been dispatched by Kim Jong Un to aid Vladimir Putin's war effort in Eastern Europe since 2022 as the ties between their two countries has become closer. Now it has been revealed that more than 6,000 soldiers from North Korea have lost their lives after being stationed to the frontline in the Kurk region

Hmmmm, howz about Harvard sending most of its students to fight in either Russia or Iran?
Oh, and faculty also. After all, most of those unfortunate beings have a budding career in supporting lost causes and failed economics.
Just sayin’.

I notice that the article didn’t mention how many Ukrainians or Ukraine allies the Norks killed or wounded.

Also the top photo “The Express” used to illustrate their article don’t even remotely resemble North Koreans.

A bit of sesame oil, some five spice, and a pepper. The best pork you ever had.

“That’s a shame”

Highly unlikely the Norks had a say in going. But three squares a day of Borscht and unlimited Vodka probably was a plus for a few to volunteer.

I can’t understand the support the evil Ruusia/China/Iran receive on this site.

They were told a meat grinder was waiting for them at the front and they thought it meant a sandwich.

Yet more proof that The Express is too ignorant to be writing about anything. Direct quotes from the article:

Now it has been revealed that more than 6,000 soldiers from North Korea have lost their lives after being stationed to the frontline in the Kurk region....

The UK Ministry of Defence posted on its official X account: "Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) forces have highly likely sustained more than 6,000 casualties in offensive combat operations against Ukrainian forces in the Russian oblast of Kursk...."

Anyone who knows anything about the military knows that "casualties" are NOT the same thing as "killed". "Casualties" includes wounded, missing, and killed, with wounded being by far the largest number. Whatever idiot decided they were capable of writing a coherent article about the military clearly lacked that very basic knowledge.
