North Korean troops are in Russia, defense secretary says

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said North Korea has deployed troops to Russia, the first senior US official to confirm the development on the record, as North Korea and Russia have forged increasingly friendly ties since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. #CNN #News

Must be pretty shocking to the NK troops, to find out that there's a world outside of Korea.

if someone said a few years ago that soon north koreans will be fighting in europe they would have been regarded as nuts hh

All the Ukrarians need to say to the North Korean soldiers is….WE HAVE FOOD

[frakkedinmi]

Ukraine should start investing in "WE WELCOME DEFECTORS" posters and fliers in Korean.

For anyone who thinks this won't matter, it will give North Korean troops combat experience that they've never had. Many of these troops with that experience will go onto train other troops in North Korea and become officers as well.

This is exactly how world wars start, very concerning.

Russia military is weak! Having to rely on North Korean soldiers to fight their war. Pathetic.

[sausagemcgriddles]

If North Korean soldiers are in Russia and they are being handed Russian military uniforms, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what they are up to. (UKRAINE)

The only way Trump can end the war in one day is give Putin what he wants. Let that sink in.

[Nunya-re]

So what, thousands of Americans are in other people’s countries training their soldiers, and, thousands of foreign soldiers are in America being trained by them.

[ladymissna]

Imagine if they all defected once they see the real world 😂.

[DQ_Mine]

Russia has done this.
Don't blame anyone else.

Do you know the difference between Ukrainians vs Republicans?.. Ukrainians defend their Capital. 💪🇺🇦💙💛

[jonstaley-qp]

Bunch of hypocrites, How many Western Mercenaries have died in Ukraine?

[fhbaynes]

I’m not impressed. They will probably be as unmotivated and as poorly led as their Russian colleagues.

[Melania.Melanoma-cx]

Trump supporters cannot be separated from Putin supporters online... They are the same people.

[bilboBoy-jd]

Vlad Putin and his ex-KGB pals would be so PROUD of you MAGAfans!

1994 agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum. The U.S., the U.K. and Russia would guarantee Ukraine's security.

[afre]

So Putin has finally realized the ugly fact that it take about 18 year to "create" a new soldier

I think we should help out those maga people who want to get closer to Russia. Maybe take up a collection to fly them to Moscow. Like they helped out those immigrants to get to Martha's Vineyard.
