The June 19 defense pact signed between Russia and North Korea included a promise to provide military assistance to one another – within days Pyongyang said it was sending troops to Ukraine.

    I’m putting good money down that they either have mass surrenders, or they’re just too malnourished to fight.

    Possibly both.

    Oh, oh! Or they refuse to come back from Russia, and that pisses off NK .

      My money is on NK never sending anyone and this all being political theater. Please. Please please please.

        That makes the most sense. NK doesn’t stand to gain much, but they haven’t got much to lose

      I suspect NK will kill their families if they refuse to come back, but I’d be completely unsurprised if some fake their deaths and try to disappear.

      Then it’d just be NK sending a bunch of soldiers who get to emigrate to Ukraine.
