About 8,000 North Korean soldiers are stationed in Russia on the border with Ukraine, the US secretary of state has said, warning that Moscow is preparing to deploy those troops into combat “in the coming days”.

Antony Blinken said the US believed that North Korea had sent 10,000 troops to Russia in total, deploying them first to training bases in the far east before sending the vast majority to the Kursk region on the border with Ukraine.

Blinken told a press conference that the North Korean troops had received Russian training in “artillery, UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles], basic infantry operations, including trench clearing, indicating that they fully intend to use these forces in frontline operations”.

"Blinken said" is not an evidence. We all seen how much is his word worth when he blocked recognition of human rights violation in Palestine that would stop US weapon shipments. His mouth is a septic tank and people were hanged in Nuremburg for less.

Blinken is an Israel plant like the rest of biden admin. Ukraine is getting punked by its own allies. Can' make this idiocy up.

There are 10k, 3k, 8k north koreans

They are fighting in Ukraine, no they are fighting in Kursk, no they are just in Russia, They are still in north korea, They are in Russia but moving towards Kursk

And zero evidence, every time, beside some obscure videos of Asian looking men taken out of context. They just really don't want to discuss about what is going on the frontlines, like with Selydove. Especially when there is an US election going. What a stupid red herring.

Somebody in Washington is trying to get these war "settled" clearly

[–] Korkki@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

They are just trying to prevent the war settling itself as long as Biden is still in office and especially before the elections. After that it was not their fault. They all know it's not going to end well.
