• 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.

      Plenty of unwanted people in NKorea that currently take up food and other resources in the internment camps. This is just the long way round for getting rid of them without using zyklonB or some other horrible method. While at the same time getting something in return from Russia. Very bleek outlook. Poor damned people, poor Ukranians that will no doubt also incur casualties because of this.

      Or any other troops overall. War sucks. Many young people end up as cannon fodder.
