Pentagon confirms North Korean troops are training in Russia, may be sent to fight in Ukraine

The Pentagon has confirmed that thousands of North Korean troops are training with Russian forces at three specialized military sites inside Russia. Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy is warning that Russia may send those forces to Ukraine and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin calls the development a very serious escalation. Isaac Stone Fish, CEO and founder of China-focused research firm Strategy Risks, joined CBS News to discuss why the North Korean troops are in Russia and what it could mean for the world.

And there are US troops in iSrael and Ukraine....whats the point??

[tschmitz]

1:30 no, it's a sign that nk and ussr are united.

[Dignityallhumanity]

US can put boots wherever it wants whenever it suits. What’s the biggie

[tschmitz]

It was never about Ukraine, just like it was never about WMD. The dollar is doomed.

[Rumplestiltskin]

Allegedly no one can see through the safety glasses they wear . After a day they are so scratched up it is futile .

[rahmatullahkhan]

So what!
It's not escalation when US is sending troops and weapons to Ukraine and other countries?

[aJediSith]

Yeah, but... when the troops arrived didn't a majority of those troops try to flee?

[Rick-xpsy]

The western people are fed up with Ukraine/russia, we’ve got our own problems going on.

Every boomer that grew up in the Cold War is foaming at the mouth rn

[Voucher]

Intresting since this is the first time an Asian country sent their forces to Europe since WWII

[ZATYOUBOOG]

You know these North Korean soldiers aint going home if they hit the front line against Ukraine

[graymatters]

Russia is training North Koreans how to lose wars now? 😂

[Notbeingsus]

October surprise could be a red dawn situation

[OlusegunJeremiah]

America and South Korea had been training together both in the US soil and in South Korea for decades, then why the alarm now.

1500 is not thousands. The same pentagon confirmed Ukraine was winning the war and Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. North officers could be there to gaing combat experience in hot war. Iran weapons were tested in Ukraine before destroying Israel just like NATO is doing in Ukraine.

MAN’S INHUMANITY - 2024!!
Man's inhumanity
Makes countless thousands mourn
A piece of earth made to live
We’ve earned our founder’s scorn.

Were the bad boys of our planet
Who walk in shoes upright
We differ only in our posture
From beasts that feast at night.

Some have asked why must we study history
It just encourages us to live in the past.
When we forget history, we repeat its errors
As the outcomes of all are cast.

War tends to punish the punishers
So the losers won't suffer alone.
The essence of war is but violence
Till the survivors come crying home.

The question the world is failing to ask is, what is north korea getting out of this.. "nukes"

[jahidilias]

So what ????
Why US is lecturing ???
didn’t USA send troops and weapons to Israel and Ukraine????

[ricblic]

So what their allies. Does the US have troops from allied nations in the US training? Of course they do, what an idiotic premise.

North Korea is alrady in the United States of America. I had a dream a few months ago that North Korea Secret Agents start unaliving criminal FBI Agents in America. Unfortunately my dreams always come true. Even nightmares such as this.
