A Pentagon spokesperson said that any military personnel North Korea sent to Ukraine to aid Russian forces would just be "cannon fodder."
  • North Korean soldiers sent to aid Russia in Ukraine would be “cannon fodder,” the Pentagon said.
  • The two nations signed a new security pact, and some Korean units look set to go to Ukraine.
  • Russia is known for treating its soldiers as highly disposable and has suffered high death tolls.

    Exactly. They will probably send all the citizens they want to get rid of knowing that they will likely die. It’s a win-win for Rocket Man: he gets to eradicate any ‘inferior’ or ‘disloyal’ peons while ingratiating himself to Putin.

      Will the North Koreans get sufficient rations? It might be no worse than being at home.

        They will also have a chance to defect and then finally have a life somewhere in Europe. Or maybe even migrate to South Korea later on.

          NK will imprison their family if they defect, that’s the main thing keeping people in NK I believe.

            The main thing keeping people inside is that they cannot leave NK anymore. NK government did a complete border lockdown during the pandemic and they managed to sign a deal with China and Russia that every defector will be caught and brought back to NK. The only way out now is through the sea and that’s a death sentence.
