The first clashes between Ukrainian forces and North Korean troops took place in the Kyiv-controlled Kursk region in Russia on October 25, according to sources available to Jonas Ohman, head of the prominent Lithuanian Blue/Yellow NGO.
Total Norks Death
My mental stereotype of north koreans might be wrong but I picture them as hicks who’ve never even seen a computer or smart phone. Imagine being that backwards and being thrown into a cutting esge drone war
North Koreans have smartphones. They are heavily locked down Androids with access to government apps and websites only.
But nowhere near the last.
But nowhere near the last.
Don’t underestimate them! I mean, have you seen how many medals NK generals have?! Lul 😏
- One medal for bootlicking Kim Jong Il
- One medal for bootlicking Kim Jong Un
- One medal for kicking 100 starving peasants
- One medal for siking Trump when Donald tried to shake his hand
- One medal for sending a trash balloon over the border to the South
- One medal for brushing his teeth
- One medal for eating caviar
- One medal for dissing Blackpink
- One medal for being in the choir for this rendition
- One medal for losing the dialup modem passwords
- One medal for finding them
- One medal to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them
That looks like some AI that fucked up!
I wonder how this is being portrayed inside Russia?
I mean… did the public look on North Korea very favorably before the war?
Is the Russian public even aware?
[X] Doubt
Seems like a hard secret to keep, even for Russia.
I’m guessing state media just downplays it? But what do they say? Like, do they just very quickly mention assistance from Korea (not even specifying North/South) in a blip and move on to the next blurb? Is there a longer justification?
Or do they keep it a secret and tell soldiers to keep their mouths shut?
I am morbidly interested in the propaganda aspect.
I expect Russian media is framing this as part of a grand alliance consisting of the ‘good’ half of the world. Lots of countries. The best countries. Sooo many! You know… Russia, North Korea, Belarus, China (they are soooo close to sending troops guys, we promise!), ‘Chechnyans’… Some Moldovan sycophantic trolls… Umm… Yeah.
Iran!
And CSTO countries that don’t partularly like Russia anymore.
According to some intercepts (released by Ukraine), ru soldiers were wondering what to do with NK troops.
No surprise there. Russia’s command structure seems like a disaster based on what I read from the ISW.
I think they see it as the legs to the monster that is Putin
Cool.
