Summary

North Korea has deployed 10,000-12,000 troops to aid Russia in Ukraine’s Kursk region, marking a significant escalation in its alliance with Moscow.

Initially inexperienced, the North Korean forces have adapted to modern combat, gaining battlefield skills.

Ukrainian intelligence confirms their presence through intercepted communications and battlefield observations.

These developments pose a global threat as North Korea acquires modern military experience, enhancing its capabilities.

      Not saying Ukraine isn’t a quagmire for Russia, but the US’s role in Vietnam bears little similarity to what NK is trying to accomplish in Ukraine. The US wasn’t licking France’s boot as a geopolitical move. This is 100% Kim Jung Un trying to get into Putin’s good graces.

        still sending their troops into a nation that is fighting for independence from a complete whole-ass other nation’s foreign occupation

              Ha! Touché. You are one with the memes.

              Digredior was a shit attempt at me trying to come up with the Latin word for destruction for a new WoW character I was making some around 15 years ago. I don’t know what stupid fucking translator I used, hit it essentially means, “I digress”. However, I’ve always liked how it sounded, so I’ve used it here and there for various alternate accounts on various platforms…
