Kim Jong Un sends 12,000 soldiers to Ukraine (msn.com)

Four brigades totaling 12,000 soldiers would be involved, including special units. In fact, a first contingent of 1,500 special units is reportedly already present in Vladivostok, in Russia's Far East, for training. "From Oct. 8 to 13, North Korea transported its special forces to Russia in a Russian Navy transport ship," said South Korean intelligence, which also published detailed satellite images.

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Vladimir Putin is trying to expand his force with foreign soldiers because of "huge losses" on the battlefield and problems with mobilization at home.

Any truth to this? If true, what is Russia giving North Korea in return? Kim Jong wouldn't do something like this for charity. And if true, what does it say about Russia that they need North Korea troops to help out?

North Korea deploys troops to fight with Russia: Seoul (bbc.com)

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol called for a security meeting on Friday and said the international community must respond with "all available means".

According to the spy agency, 1,500 troops have already arrived in Russia - with anonymous sources telling South Korean media the final figure could be closer to 12,000.

Ukraine can simply lure and covert those North Korean soldiers by feeding them.

i believe this to be true and some north korean troops have already started fleeing. the moment a person steps one foot outside a communist country they look for ways to never go back.

Set up 1,000 Smokers and cook 15,000 pounds of Brisket downwind towards Russia... And the war is over. Trumps secret plan.

Ukrainians should just airdrop them Mcdoubles from their drones, that'd probably triple their yearly protein intake

Hot Ukrainian girls or a plate full of smoked brisket with savory sauce and sides. Which would NK soldiers choose?

Running low on cooks that are educated on cooking dogs and cats

Them Russian girls have ukrain ones bested in beauty. Stick with more meat and freedom.

It's absolutely true. Several third party nations are tracking it as we speak.

The big question right now is WHICH units got sent. As in what quality and would indicate how they would be used. An SF unit is not the same across the world and only make up a portion of the total sent. Are the others fanatical baby eaters who will fight and die to the last? Or poor conscripts who will collapse and surrender en masse which they realize Russia will care less about them than their own meat bags?

Either way, this is just another indictment against the magnificent 3 day SMO of Russia while still being a ****ty development for Ukraine.

Penal companies like the Soviets used to use in ww2 - cannon fodder for the front lines in Ukraine.

Pulled pork. Koreans like pork

Peter Ziehan made the point that no Korean soldier has see active combat in 50+ years.

This is a chance for North Korea to get some experience.

I'm sure Russia is also sending some oil or food their way.

You mean thicc, hardworking, gorgeous, cornfed farm girls vs pencil legged commies?

Are you even an Ag???

As many have stated, this has the feel of ending-up like the Irish conscripts marching into battle against the Scots in 'Braveheart'.

Not sure why people are alarmed/worried/upset about this at all. Russia has plenty of troops, and NoKo has no combat veterans to send anyway. This figure is not a big deal in the SMO overall, and unlikely to make any real impact.

If anything, the language barriers/challenges of being integrated into the Russian military structures (such as use of drones, electronic warfare, fire coordination etc) might hinder the latter overall. But it's probably just for show.

It only highlights Russia's massive manpower shortages after they sacrificed hundreds of thousands of lives to push 20 miles in one tiny area of the front.

As has been said, it's no longer 1943. Russia cannot simply take Ukraine by throwing bodies at the front in 2024.

I like Korean BBQ tacos.

Regardless of the quality of the NK units I hope they get special attention, they deserve, from our intelligence units and Ukrainian weaponry. Hopefully something really nasty like a HIMARS attack or other cluster munition. You know all those little tungsten BB's bleeding them out.

Fun fact the USSR had a considerable larger population in 1940 than the 2020 Russian Federation. They dont have all that many to be throwing away.

What are the thoughts on this from the experts at F.A.G. (the Film Actors Guild)?

I doubt NK is sending their top troops over there, probably penal units with some officers to observe current warfare. There have been rumors of a lot of NK weapons malfunctioning so that may have something to do with this.

I don't think NK troops will be able to do much except for being cannon fodder but they will use up Ukraine weapons. North Korea claims to have the 4th largest military in the world just behind the USA.

I have to believe Kim Jong Un knows Trump will win.

This gives Kim a leverage to cozy up to Trump by offering to pull the troops in return for a favor..whatever that may be.

Just a chess move by NK, imo.

Pork belly man...

china realizes they won't be dealing with tweedle dee and tweedle dumb anymore and will try to make it harder for President Trump to disengage from Ukraine.

And get ready for the dim-marxist lawfare machine to start turning again. Any dim-marxists that start that crap again should never know another moments peace.

Trump needs and will have earned the right to govern!!!

The families of these NK soldiers must be nervous AF! I'm sure there is planned retribution for the families if these soldiers don't perform / if they flee.

My first thought as well. Chance to season some troops.

I wonder if this explains why NK severed thoroughfares to SK last week.

Oh boy. Better keep Cornyn away from the Senate majority leader seat. He could single-handedly ruin this strategy and cause Ukrainian defections.

Ukraine probably already working up a way to sink the next transport ships. We'll refuse to give them the intelligence to do it for fear of escalation.

From my research, hickory is hard to get in Ukraine.

Will have to ship em in from the US.

Will this help end the war? If so, then good.

From what I've read Putin (P) has been "using" a goodly number of "Eastern Russian" conscripts, ethnic Asian, as cannon fodder already. To P what are a dozen thousand NK's???

The Charge of the Brisket Brigade...

Smokers to the right of them,
Smokers to the left of them,
Smokers in front of them,
volleyed & thundered;

stormed at with shot & shell,
boldly they smoked & well.
