About 8,000 North Korean soldiers are stationed in Russia on the border with Ukraine, the US secretary of state has said, warning that Moscow is preparing to deploy those troops into combat “in the coming days”.
Antony Blinken said the US believed that North Korea had sent 10,000 troops to Russia in total, deploying them first to training bases in the far east before sending the vast majority to the Kursk region on the border with Ukraine.
Blinken told a press conference that the North Korean troops had received Russian training in “artillery, UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles], basic infantry operations, including trench clearing, indicating that they fully intend to use these forces in frontline operations”.
That’s 6 days worth of pointless extra casualties. Not cool, Kim.
Maybe this is Kim’s Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B and the troops are made up of things like telephone sanitizers.
Plus, fewer mouths to starve this way.
But he got $20M so he’s willing to do that sacrifice.
