  1. I wonder how trump plans to end the war now😂 he was saying he would end the war within a week a few months ago.

    Edit: he actually said he would end the war within 24hr😭 that man cannot be serious.

  2. 7960. The first 39 were wiped out and the one survivor has critical injuries. Sounds like a good start.

  3. So, have we hit World War status yet? I realize it should probably require boots on the ground from more countries, but this fucking war is proxied to hell and back. That’s gotta be worth something.

  4. Why the fuck are we allowing North Koreans invade Europe while doing nothing? I thought we learned our lessons in 2022?

  5. This might be a mistake by Putin.

    By this logic, can Polish soldiers go fight for Ukraine(openly, I know there are foreign fighters on both sides?)

    Or Germans? Or Frenchmen? I think this a calculus that can’t work for Russia.

  6. meh… 8000 more soldiers in Ukraine isn’t going to change nothing.

    The problem is that they are NK soldiers – meaning NK is getting something for their involvement in return….

  7. The headline tomorrow will read “8,000 dead North Koreans at the Ukraine border.”

    Good job Putin, just throw more bodies onto the pile.

  8. Can they form an orderly queue before they make a dash for the Ukrainian soldiers to help them escape.

  9. I really hope some of the restrictions are lifted off of Ukraines use of weapons.

  10. They are sending Koreans to be killed. Language barrier, they don’t know the territory and they won’t be fed or paid.

  11. We laugh about Russian red lines, but this was a Western red line, third countries getting involved. There must be a response.

  12. The Europeans didn’t act to prevent WW2 because they had experienced the horrors of WW1 and didn’t want to go through that again. They’re not acting to prevent WW3 because they experienced the horrors of WW2 and don’t want to go through that again — particularly if nukes may be involved next time around. Seems like deja vu all over again… 🙄

  13. 8000 troops.

    That will extend the war by a total of 5 days given current russian losses.

    If there were some zeros on that, I’d be worried.

  14. I might just being crazy, but I thought this was already news since like 2 weeks ago?
    Was there anything new about this one?

  15. Wouldn’t it be interesting if Ukraine sent a drone to take out Kim Jong Un? He’s not hard to find I’m sure.

  16. I’ll believe it when we start seeing dead Korean soldiers the same way we are seeing dead Russian and Ukrainian soldiers

  17. Hey NATO, way to create the strongest military and economic alliance in world history and yet continue to let your adversaries do whatever they want. Joke.

  18. The little drones and the types of weapons used didn’t exist in the Korean war. North Koreans not being very technological are going to find out. I expect them to be slaughtered fairly fast and even quicker than the Russians.

    An example in the technological difference helicopters being way more simple looked like those. And these are what the North Koreans was fighting against then. This stuff is vintage today. https://www.chopperspotter.com/top-helicopters-of-the-korean-war/

    The regular helicopter Ukraine uses for example is way more advanced than most choppers from that era i think. Those are just old soviet designs aren’t they?

  19. You know, i think they’re really watching this. They’ve talked like most were in the Kursk region. Some were scattered throughout the front lines, training, whatever… they look for something in the next couple of days or next week.
    During the meeting, the U.S. and South Korean officials discussed a range of options to respond to the development, and Blinken said Washington would announce new security assistance for Ukraine in the coming days.Blinken said, adding that if the North Korean troops enter the fight they would become legitimate military targets.

    Ok, we know that! About legitimate targets. Are these soldiers ALLOWED to be in UKRAINE? I truly thought the agreement that was signed by Putin & Kim was talking about if their land was ever attacked. They would help to protect it. NOT MORE SOLDIERS TO HELP THIS F*CKING INVASION!
