Is this a joke you think North Korea will listen what you have to say 😂

[pauliewalnuts]

Why on earth would north korea cooperate & recall its soldiers? How could anyone expect theyd do us a favor when were sanctioning them?

[lucylululululu]

It's not America's problem who they sent and where it's not our war.

[warlords-ux]

i never knew you could tell Russia what to do on there own soil

[MikeCrawch]

I find it weird how US is telling North Korean troops to get out of Russia.
But we see a lot of US mercenaries posting videos online and on YouTube how they went to sign up and was fighting in Ukraine…
The irony 🤣

[kchilz]

But it’s fine for the US to give Ukraine money and weapons 🤦🏽‍♂️

[MdZayeed-cu]

No bro when America sent their troops outside of their country that's not a big deal.
Even America has more then 700+ military base outside of their country. so called peace.😊

[AIENTERTAINMENTONE]

Now we are going to have South Korean soldiers fight for Ukraine isn't that great.

Voice of the Central Intelligence Agency! US says NK should obey!

[bobbyduke]

[VLADIMIRISH]

Russia urges Ukraine to take off NATO troops 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Irishtroll]

They will flee when the drones come to get them

[rainierponce]

Let's talk about true facts. 1. If there are N Korean troops in Russia soil, then is Russia problem not the USA. 2. EEUU and nato sent troops to Ukraine. Russia complains about this. Nothing happened. Now, whether Russia sends N Korean troops to Ukraine or not, what do you think should happen? Based on the logic that you have been measured by a mirror. 3. Let's men up everybody. What goes around comes around. Therefore, EEUU and South Korea shouldn't cry about this.

North Koreans have the right to defend themselves in Ukraine.

[jdj]

we have no business in Ukraine nor Israel, we have much more things to worry about here at home !

[SLF-ow]

Washington Institute for Near East Affairs is an AIPAC mouthpiece

[turbocharge]

Russia has all rights to defend itself

[mockchicken]
