Pawns for Putin.

North Korea will send troops to the front lines of the Donetsk region to help Russia fight Ukraine.

I doubt these poor troops are North Korea's finest.

If you equate the North Koreans as pawns for Putin, you must also acknowledge the Ukrainians, the Chinese on Taiwan, and the Filipinos to your list as they too are or going to be used as cannon fodder against Russia and China by the US empire.

North Korea ally's with Russia against Ukraine and sends troops and munitions.

North Korea blows up roads connecting the two nations.  Declares South Korea it's principal enemy.

The Middle East is in disarray, with Israel not backing down one bit.

The US recently warning Iran to back down.  Or else.

Seems like the line has been drawn in the sand.  With the sides clearly distinguishable.

Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and others watching events leading up to and after Nov. 5th very closely. 

That is all.  My opinion of course.

Just thought I'd revive this thread to add doom and gloom to an already dismal environment.

Feel free to add to or discredit as you wish.

Now would be a good time for unfriendly nations to attack the USA or US interests.
Leadership is at an all-time low.
Basic war strategy is to eliminate the leader first. I mentioned this before.
Another thing to expect is a disruption and/or corruption in communications.

Nows not a good time as they will wait till after November, like how Putin did. To see who the new President will be.

Hawaii News Now ticker said US to send equipment and troops to Ukraine. Haven't heard anything yet about troops from anyone else. Unless they mean spookes, which they were already there for a while now.

Pawns for Putin.

i've seen earlier reports, that NK had sent some technicians to fix, or repair the whole slew of defective artillery shells that NK delivered to russia, that were blowing up the russian howitzers or tanks, resulting in dead russians.  Putin wasn't too happy about that.

also, that Norks were sending REMF-type officers and engineers, not front-line infantry, at least not yet.  For technical assistance, training, and also so that the Norks could acquire real-world war-fighting skills, knowledge, and strategies.  There was a video by WillyOAM where he mentioned it in his near-daily Ukraine-Russia war updates.  Aside from the defective artillery shells due to piss-poor Nork QC, at this point, I think it's knowledge-sharing.  Also seems that the chinese also want to gain from this experience, fighting against US technology.

I suspect that it was just "wrong place, wrong time" that those half-dozen norks got killed by a some kind of drone or missile strike, behind the front lines, where they probably thought they were relatively safe, but still in Donetsk Oblast, IIRC.  Some of those Ukraine drone/missile strikes against airbases, fuel, ammo depots inside Russia are way behind the front lines.  They're hitting targets upwards of 500km away, maybe even 1,000km inside Russia.

I guess if you're the largest land-mass country on the planet, kinda hard to air-defense such a large area against modern small drones.  On the other hand, Israel is much tinier, it's technologically feasible to be more successful to defend a postage-stamp sized area, in comparison.  Modern warfare starting to look like some of that Arnold-genre Terminator movies, it's For Real, and scary A.F.

ETA:  just saw an update that NK sent something like 3,000 troops to russia or donetsk.

Yep.  Poor NK soldiers are probably the low tier fighters sent as essentially cannon-fodder.

Pure speculation but it seems those poor souls really don't have many options.  I'd bet it is a good option of at least getting some food in their stomachs.  Thats how miserable NK is to the common people.

I saw videos under the title of NK sending troops to fight in Ukraine.  They showed the soldiers as lean muscled warriors with their shirts off doing feats of strength.  These are the fat dick-tator's elite forces and there's no way he's sending these types of troops to fight for Russia.

Then there is another article I saw of literally thousands of young men and women in throngs signing up to join the military ranks of NK.  The article said they signed up a million of these youngsters in a very short time.

I mean, seriously.  In North Korea, do these poor souls have a f*ckn choice?  Maybe two:  Sign up to serve your Dear Leader overseas or we'll see you in the labor camps, where your next meal is never guaranteed.

At first glance I thought I read in thongs and was about to ask for the picture link.

i'm going to wait until our forum SME comes online to mansplain it to us...

Little by little, we inch closer to the inevitable..........

from what I've read, Russia and NK signed a mutual defense pact, something like that.

So Russia is using the Norks in Kursk, because that can be legitimately be construed as defense of Russia's land, not as invasion of Ukraine.  It does free up russian soldiers to go from Kursk to Pokrovsk, for instance.  Although, the Russky's seem to be on a very successful roll in Kursk at this time.
