Who didn’t see this coming? Not to worry, I’m sure they’re only “advisors”.

This will be an interesting dynamic.
NK troops haven’t seen actual warfare in 70 years, but they do a lot of drills and simulations.
Either they’re going to panic and run at the first sound of gunfire, or they’re going to completely annihilate Ukrainian/NATO forces.

Biden. “Don’t.”

Media. “ Biden ‘s still got his wits about him!”

The Norks have an underfed, under armed, and poorly trained army. 1 unit will not matter. Their only strength is thousands of artillery units within range of Seoul.

“put in a state of war by an armed invasion “
Excuse me, if I missed the part where Russia was invaded by Ukraine.

Russia is hiring mercenaries, often tricking them. Some poor b@st@rds from Nepal were tricked into signing up with an assurance that they would only be used in support roles behind the front lines. They ended up dead.

This story was on the NHK streaming ap, the Japanese public broadcasting channel where they have reporters who do actual journalism.

The surviving widows and children could not even collect the contract wages because they couldn't "prove" their relationship to the deceased to the satisfaction of the Russian bureaucracy.

The last time this happened was with the Korean who was drafted by the Japanese to fight the Russians, captured by the Russians and put into the field against the Germans, captured by the Germans and sent to Normandy to fight the Americans and British.

The latest news is that they guy probably didn’t actually exist. Great story, though. It was made into a movie by South Koreans.

Zeepers may refer to them as Contractors.

When an ally provides the expenses paid mercenaries they should be called mercenaries, not some Ukrianian Line Item Budgeting and Accounting Debit/Credit naming convention.

The Merc’s or N.Korea too is no longer at Peace with the US.


The Pentagon’s accounting schemes on Ukraine should be audited by Congress prior to the approval of the 2025 NDA which at present contains mandatory provision for Female Draft Registration. It only lacks the formalization DOD wide of a mandatory LGBT RIBBON for attending Gender-Bender Class - kinda like the Service Medal.

Marxists see no difference. As long as the DNC remains in power, the place of women in One Nation Under God, they will continue to be dimished and unappreciated as humans but treated as potential Pranas’ schooled in self destruction.

The DNC has devolved into the Animal Kingdom. They emulate animals in all they say and do. They have fallen from Grace.

As Zeepers have started saying the past few weeks, it is simply American policy.

Yet, the deviancy of the pedifile, the homosexuals and mentally ill is not settled in US LAW or State LAW - it is controversial and thus should not be forced upon the World. Nor should Christian nations or peoples have to submit to this LAWLESS anti-Jewish/Christian philosophy. We export the deviancy as mandatory conditons for diplomatic agreements, financial aid, or membership in US led organizations.

Well, to be honest N.Korea has never really been treated any better than Russia is today. The US led sanction regime has collasped and only serves to isolate American’s in the marketplace and good standing by breaking our laws in order to steal money.

Anyone NOTICE that Obama/Biden never touched IRANIAN INTEREST OR MONEY? Funny thing happend on the way to the bank - the US decided it would steal from one nation, yet not another. The only exception might be the Lockerbie Airlines incident lawsuits or an occasion small amount as result of a legal judgment. Iran is probably also going to be robbed by the EU, but Obama’s and Kerry’s family in Islamofacistland are immune from robbery.

The way in the which Biden’s minion’s have handled Russian assets breaks all international law. It’s just another Bric (s) in the wall as they say. That game where you remove blocks and place blocks higher only to have the loser tip the tower says it all.

If you want the South Koreans to send a meaningful amount of military aid to Ukraine then this is the way to do it.
I can’t imagine that Putin would be so foolish as to help arm
and resupply Ukraine for the dubious help of North Korean soldiers.

After re-reading the article several things stand out.

Beyond the simple deployment of Engineer or Construction Units in the Donesk region, Kiev reports only 2 million artillery rounds. The actual number is already 4.75m and growing. The Nork’s product 6m rounds a year in peacetime - if they decide to ramp up production based on Russian and Western manufacturing of shell growth, they could get to 10m in 4-5 months and up to 18m in 18 months.

The second thing in the article is S.Korea is absent and the talk about treaties means Kiev is scrambling to find new partners in the case of a conflict with N.Korea - e.g., they are looking for S.Korea and Japan.

Kiev is going to argue that North Korea in a conflict triggers the equivalent of an Article 5 scenario. Asia knows Washington will never get to pivot from Ukraine in time to execute their 2025 China war talk.

Only Trump can prevent the next promised war form the NATO-CON/neo-con/DNC nexus.

I’m suspect of the reporting of this.

Western European states facing army personnel crisis – FT

NATO countries in Europe are reportedly facing a shortage of military personnel and would have difficulty mobilizing a significant number of troops in case of a conflict, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.

According to the outlet’s analysts, Western European members of the US-led military bloc are said to have 1.9 million troops “on paper.” In reality, however, they would face challenges deploying more than 300,000 people – and even this would require months of preparation.

Former NATO Assistant Secretary-General Camilla Grand explained that the bloc’s members have never had to consider mass deployment of their forces and that European defense planning has for many years been limited to matters such as supplying “300 special forces for Afghanistan.”

“That’s created gaps,” Grand said, adding that the bloc has seen “a shrinking in forces all over the continent year after year.”

Ben Barry, a senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, also told FT that NATO’s European members have focused on increasing military budgets but have neglected conscripting more people.

According to Barry, European NATO states have now reached a “tipping point of critical mass” and have entered a “vicious circle” in which personnel shortages limit their military capabilities and make it difficult to train new recruits, frustrating existing servicemen and forcing them to leave the army.
