We continue to track military cooperation between the DPRK and Russia. We have seen evidence that at least 10,000 DPRK soldiers moved earlier this month into eastern Russia and take this issue very seriously. pic.twitter.com/r5RTlr1Zsu

The modus operandi of the United States government is to threaten to murder whoever questions them.
Unfortunately for these faggots, Koreans are not Gazan children, and they can defend themselves.
The US and South Korean defence chiefs have called for North Korea to withdraw its troops from Russia, as the US envoy to the UN, Robert Wood, bluntly warned that Pyongyang’s forces entering Ukraine “will surely return in body bags”.
Washington says 10,000 North Korean troops have been deployed for possible action against Ukrainian forces. Russia and North Korea have deepened their political and military alliance as the Ukraine war has dragged on, but sending Pyongyang’s troops into combat against Kyiv’s forces would mark a significant escalation that has sparked widespread international concern.
“I call upon them to withdraw their troops out of Russia,” US defence secretary Lloyd Austin said at the Pentagon on Wednesday, echoing a call made at a joint appearance with his South Korean counterpart, Kim Yong-hyun.
The White House has said that Pyongyang’s forces would become “legitimate military targets” if they fight against Ukraine, and Austin echoed that stance on Wednesday.
North Korean troops would be “co-belligerents, and you have every reason to believe that … they will be killed and wounded as a result of battle,” he added.
Speaking before the UN security council, Wood gave an even more explicit warning, saying if Pyongyang’s forces “enter Ukraine in support of Russia, they will surely return in body bags.”
Very strange language.
It’s still not proved that North Koreans are planning to go to the Ukraine. It’s obvious that they would want to, but there is no actual evidence that it’s actually happening.
It obviously seems like a psychological operation by the West designed to breathe some life into this endless war in the Ukraine. There are reports that Joe Biden will allow Zelensky to do terroristic long-range missile attacks on Moscow if the Koreans enter the fray.
Putin will not deny that there are Koreans headed to the Ukraine, which gives the claim some credibility, but he may just be refusing to deny it on principle.
Today, I met with ROK Minister of National Defense Kim Yong-hyun for the Security Consultative Meeting. Together, we are deepening extended deterrence cooperation, modernizing alliance capabilities, and strengthening regional security.

Today, I had the distinct honor of laying a wreath in honor of both American and South Korean troops who gave their lives during the Korean War. More than 70 years after the Korean War, our two nations stand shoulder-to-shoulder to defend democracy on the Korean Peninsula. pic.twitter.com/haWFkRa17L
