  1. Russia is trying and failing to prove it can do what NATO is doing for the west, quick force integration. Unfortunately for Russia, they are dictating terms and conditions and the North Koreans haven’t fully adapted yet.

    I wouldn’t want to be in their position as they try to work things out through trial-by-fire. It is clear they are wanting to build up for a winter offensive using NK troops, but integration isn’t going the way they planned.

    There’s also the coming problems of infectious disease spreading from Russian troops to NK troops and from NK troops to Russian troops with prolonged, close quarters contact.

  2. Ohhh easy. Watch a past episode of SP wherein they absorbed food the opposite way!! Be very fitting for PooPoo to shoot poo out their mouth while chatting

  3. > “We are increasingly concerned that Russia intends to use these soldiers in combat or to support combat operations against Ukrainian forces in Russia’s Kursk Oblast near the border with Ukraine,” Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said Monday.

    Well, yeah. Isn’t that what they are there for?

  4. Isn’t chaos the natural order of things for the Russian Army? Besides, I get the feeling even though they’re “support” troops, they’re going to end up doing the same human wave suicide attacks just like the conscripts and penal battalions.

  5. North Korea shares a border with Russia. They do joint military training all the time. This story reeks of Propaganda and really consider the sources!

  6. I’m not going to say this is blessing in disguise but no surprise when you have two distinct military that quickly try to “work together” with language barrier for starter.

  7. “Ukraine’s spies say they intercepted phone calls showing chaos as Russia works to integrate North Korean troops into its military operations.”

    It’s impressive how organized Ukraines military is. Intelligence like this was revolutionary during WWII

  8. Doesn’t NATO constantly train between member countries’ militaries? They also follow some kind of standardization. If they didn’t do either of those things, I imagine NATO coalitions would be a shitshow too.

  9. Imagine, for a moment, that you are one of these poor ass soldiers from North Korea. You go from a totalitarian leader with a penchant for whimsical executions of his own people to being stuck invading a country you didn’t even know existed until a couple of days ago. What fun.

  10. Wonder what the north Koreans will think of the insane amount of rape that happens in the Russian military.

  11. OK .. this title should be ” The concerned level of US gov is unchanged.” It remains at the same level since Russia invasion of Ukraine in 2014. I am assuming the concern level will change to ” very concerned ” after Putin occupies Ukraine .

  12. The NK soldiers are gonna be cannon fodder. They’ve had about 70 years of prancing about in parades for training.

  13. This is sad, Ukraine should just offer them a new life and attempt to save them. This shits insane.
