    From a world power to needing soldiers from North Korea to keep a war running. Russia has proven to be a joke of a country. Not a good one though.

    If the Russians thought NK ammo were duds, just wait til they see NK forces running the opposite direction and surrendering.

      Or… the north Koreans truck over fodder for the storm Z units from their prisons. And the Russians use barrier troops to force them to attack.

      This is a horrible development that just creates more suffering.

      That said maybe south Korea can send military translators for the case some get captured. It can be an epic PR tool for south Korea having a solid group of north Koreans that lived.

      NK will probably threaten threaten the families of the soldiers sent with execution if the soldiers surrender. Sadly, that can make for a motivated soldier.

    I hope the French end up following through on their proposal of sending troops and it counters the NK deployment.
