    Yeah, it’s not like any of those NK soldiers are ever coming home. Imagine what would happen if, say, the 2000 surviving soldiers of the 20k they sent got back, and tell everyone how in wartorn ukraine, things are WAY better than in Glorious North Korea.

      If any of them get into actual combat then they’re gonna get turned into dog food. They have no experience and Putin absolutely only wants them as cannon fodder so he doesn’t have to do more unpopular domestic recruiting.

    well sure, but they’ll need running water and a functioning sewer system for those. That’s the hard part, at least in NK!

    Having run out of convicts, Russia had to turn to the inferior option of using North Koreans for its cannon fodder needs.
