North Korea plans to send military construction workers and deminers to Russia

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea will send thousands of military construction workers and deminers to support reconstruction work in Russia’s Kursk region, a top Russian official said Tuesday, the latest sign of expanding cooperation between the nations.

North Korea has already supplied thousands of combat troops and a vast amount of conventional weapons to back Russia’s war against Ukraine. In April, Pyongyang and Moscow said that their soldiers fought together to repel a Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk border region, though Ukraine has insisted it still has troops present there.

Wrapping up a one-day visit to Pyongyang, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu said that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un decided to send 1,000 sappers to clear mines in the Kursk region and 5,000 military construction workers to restore infrastructure there, according to Russia’s state news agency, Tass.

Because, like you, they’re fun to watch struggle and fail.

They have already lost half of those they sent to fight Ukraine.
I’m sorry, but I can’t imagine anything funnier than Putin, with his head in his hands, wondering what he is going to do with this collection of incompetent NK boobs!

Putin has flat out abandoned Iran, same as Syria.
But he still has his little buddy Kim Jong Unto help him out in a pinch.

Too soon to talk about rebuilding. The war is still on. Putin now has to wonder what he will do help Iran. Send his Air Force to protect them from the Israeli-Americans? Can they? Maybe give Iran some more rockets? He needs to be ready to face off America—so too North Korea. If the USA can force Iran to give up nukes—they could do that to North Korea too.

Deminers? Is that children to walk across the minefields? Iran pioneered that method in its war with Iraq. It works pretty well if there are enough children available.

As if I'm supposed to join in with their hatred of all things Russia? Putin hasn't affected my life one way or the other, unlike Democrats. Should he in the future, I'll react accordingly, but it's not likely given his 30-year presidency.

So you’re saying that if I agree with the people who FUND the Democrats, align with the Globalists, who hate Trump and IMPEACHED TRUMP, then I would be interested in these articles.

Thanks, that make sense now.

Not to worry.

Russians are some of the most racist people on the planet and Asian are number 1 on the hit list for gangs of hooligans’’(drunken Russian ‘’yutes’’) and they LOVE beating the crap out of ‘’foreigners’’.
