For those who think the war in Ukraine is unimportant, consider who Putin is partnering with. The presence of North Korean troops in Russia clearly indicates that Putin is not interested in ending this conflict—he is determined to escalate it at any cost."
I have long challenged the Biden-Harris Administration's unwise position on restricting Ukraine's use of U.S. weapons against targets within Russian territory. If North Korean troops attack Ukraine from Russian territory, Ukraine should be permitted to use American weapons to respond,
If North Korean troops were to invade Ukraine's sovereign territory, the United States needs to seriously consider taking direct military action against the North Korean troops,
South Korea won't sit idle over this,
North Korea’s dispatch of the troops to Russia is a provocation that is threatening the security of the Korean peninsula,
South Korea will not stand by and do nothing,
It's highly unlikely that the North Koreans will supply enough soldiers to make any substantial difference, even if they are special forces,
In some ways this represents the latest in a series of prominent examples of Putin's outsourcing of the conduct of his war, which is telling from the standpoint of Russia's own capacity to wage it,
The Korean People's Army is massive in size but has not engaged in prolonged active combat since the 1950s, is entirely unfamiliar with the conflict environment in Ukraine, and has long been plagued by supply and morale problems as well as inferior technology,
During WWII, Winston Churchill famously talked about how having Americans die fighting to protect Britain would cement the alliance like nothing else,
It is very typical for the Kims to insist that at least one member of any family operating overseas remain in Pyongyang as a hostage,
I didn't think of the Kim family 20 times today,
It's hard to imagine how tightly controlled North Korean society is,
The question we've eventually got to ask is, why isn't the US and the Western countries trying to use this situation more to our advantage?"
We have information that two units of military personnel from North Korea are being trained – potentially even two brigades of 6,000 people each.”
Overall, this rate is rather good,
They will be ready on November 1,
The coalition of criminals together with Putin’s state now includes North Korea,
Russia's war zone has expanded significantly, and with Ukrainian forces making advances even into Russian territory, North Korean troops could play role in defending against such incursions,
I think Ukraine is wearing down the Russian army as we talk. You don’t get thousands of soldiers from North Korea if your war is going well,
