Every picture of Putin and Kim together just looks like an adult tricking a kid.

Valmond ,

Funny thing is the eventual survivor won’t be brought back to NK after having seen the lavish lifes the russians live…

Duamerthrax , (edited )

Or the lavish living conditions of a Ukraine POW cell.

Zip2 ,

So it’s OK for Ukraine to invite friends along to help too?

Furball ,

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the US announced it would lift the ban on American contractors going to Ukraine at the same time as this. Russia reaps what it sows. Ukraine gets highly payed and skilled contractors, in return, Russia gets malnourished and untrained Korean conscripts.

DaddleDew ,

The North Koreans are perfect for the Russian tactic of forcing the Ukrainians to deplete their ammo by throwing meat at them.

Yawweee877h444 ,

I dont think it’s quite the same thing though. US contractors won’t be fighting, I think they’ll just be maintaining and repairing equipment.

Arguably, a much more critical job for a capital-intensive army.

chonglibloodsport ,

Yes, it’s actually huge. Especially for maintaining a weapon as complicated as an Abrams tank. If it can be repaired close to the front lines then that has the potential to cut days off the turnaround time compared to towing it over to Poland.

I will never understand why the American military think it’s a good idea to send them tanks that are so complicated. Especially when they’re going up against cold war era relics.

Long term investment. Same as in Israel. Trying to save democracies from annihilation.

homesweethomeMrL ,

Do we have non-complicated tanks?

bluewing ,

Because it’s what we have to send. It’s not like we have a lot of extra Sherman tanks we can send anymore.

btaf45 ,

Russia gets malnourished and untrained Korean conscripts.

Just offer them all plane tickets to South Korea. Problem solved.

echodot ,

The best tactic Ukraine could have at this point would just be to encourage the North Koreans to defect. Can’t imagine it’ll be particularly difficult, “hey switch sides and we won’t kill you, and here’s a free house with electricity, water and indoor plumbing”.

It would be like trying to convince people to leave the 15th century.

sunbeam60 ,

… “and don’t worry about your family back home in North Korea who will be compressed into tinned meal”.

The defection rate will be low I suspect. It’s an automatic TFK (total family kill) to defect and I doubt they’ll send anyone who don’t have family at home in Glorious Motherland!

Lucidlethargy ,

I wonder if many will even fight? If I were from North Korea, I’d consider surrender to be a godsend. They would do terrible things to the family members, though… I guess that’s the true cruelty of regimes like this. They punish the people you love.

Zerg swarm VS marines

azvasKvklenko ,

According to Russian propaganda Ukraine has been doing just that the entire time, but if it actually happened that would be yet another red line to cross.

    Why would you possibly think it’s good news for Ukraine?

    Ulfhethnar ,

    It is not yet, but NK is already supplying the artillery which is much more valuable than men to Russia and Korea will surely respond by suppling Ukraine.

    News in 30 days: Digestive Parasites are up 70,000% in Eastern Ukraine.

    These guys will have a better time in Ukrainian captivity than 99% of the population at home…

    Valmond ,

    Maybe even food and medication against tap worms? I’m in!

    They can meet up with the Cameroonian and Iraqi olympic teams for lunch.

    Nobody ,

    Time to translate those surrender instruction leaflets to Korean. Maybe go ahead and plan to build a large camp for malnourished people.

    then_three_more ,

    Maybe that’s the tactic, force Ukraine to divert food and resources to feeding thousands of Korean deserters.

    Womble ,

    Ukrain is a country of 40 million people, with millions already internally displaced from the war. A few thousand extra refugees wouldnt even be noticed.

    btaf45 ,

    Maybe go ahead and plan to build a large camp for malnourished people.

    Or just invite the South Korean government to send agents to Ukraine to invite them all to South Korea.

    calcopiritus ,

    Can the average north Korean read though?

    echodot ,

    I’m sure that will be really helpful, I bet they’re really well trained and have lots of modern equipment that isn’t just painted wood.

    TankovayaDiviziya ,

    A free trip for defection for North Koreans!

    AlexanderESmith ,

    I'm putting good money down that they either have mass surrenders, or they're just too malnourished to fight.

    Possibly both.

    Oh, oh! Or they refuse to come back from Russia, and that pisses off NK .

    Warl0k3 ,

    My money is on NK never sending anyone and this all being political theater. Please. Please please please.

    Gradually_Adjusting ,
    @Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

    That makes the most sense. NK doesn’t stand to gain much, but they haven’t got much to lose

    frickineh , (edited )

    I suspect NK will kill their families if they refuse to come back, but I’d be completely unsurprised if some fake their deaths and try to disappear.

    Neato ,
    @Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

    Then it’d just be NK sending a bunch of soldiers who get to emigrate to Ukraine.

    What a perfect time to act.
