Putin Issues Official Statement Thanking North Korea for Troop Dispatch
This is the first time that Russia has admitted that North Korean troops have been aiding them in their war against Ukraine:
Russian President Vladimir Putin has thanked North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for the deployment of troops to support its war with Ukraine, pledging that their bilateral friendship, forged on battlefields, will continue to grow in all areas, the Kremlin said Monday.
Putin conveyed his gratitude to Kim for the “active role” played by North Korean soldiers in the fight against Ukraine, his statement updated on the website of his office said, just hours after Pyongyang officially confirmed its troop deployment to Russia.
He praised the solidarity, justice and genuine camaraderie North Korean soldiers had shown, adding that “We highly appreciate this and are sincerely grateful, personally to the Chairman of State Affairs, Comrade Kim Jong-un, as well as the entire leadership and the people” of North Korea.

But according to one of our resident Maggots (you know which one), North Korean soldiers in Ukraine is fake news.
“North Korean soldiers in Ukraine is fake news”
It appears to still be fake news.
North Korean soldiers seem only to have fought in Russia against the invading Ukranians and never to have fought on Ukrainian soil.
Everything else was also fake news… age, ability, casualties.
Whatever the case, Ukraine seems to be removed from Russian territory with nothing really to show for their failed invasion.
Now, the only reason to arm Ukraine is to keep the Russians from further advancements that will reduce the resources the west plans to loot.
Maggots live in a parallel universe of reality.
I can’t wait til the shelves in Walmart and supermarkets in the US empty of supplies. Let’s see what their version of reality sounds like. It will be pretty amusing.
“I can’t wait til the shelves in Walmart and supermarkets in the US empty of supplies.”
Nor can I.
In driving across the USA, I was amazed by the amount of self-storage.
Americans are drowning in cheap Chinese noisy-flashy crap that is not good enough to keep but too good to throw away once the fleeting joy of ownership is lost.
Nothing will be disrupted with empty Walmart shelves.
There might even be an improvement in some aspects of society.
I’m curious about the timing, why publicly announce this in April months after the rest of the world knows the Ukrainians have Nork PWs?
“I’m curious about the timing…”
I suspect that is because North Korean soldiers only fought on Russian soil.
Now that Ukraine has withdrawn, the purpose of the North Korean soldiers is finished.
If they fight on (what the world still sees as) Ukrainian soil, we get something resembling WW3 as everybody wants to join in.
So off they go back to North Korea to write lessons learned reports and teach everyone else about the realities of whatever hybrid horror the first real modern war has become…
2nd Gen – static defense – Bakhmut
3rd Gen – mobile warfare – Kharkiv
4th Gen – decentralized – Kherson partisans
5th Gen – perception – Ghost of Kiev
6th Gen – drone/AI targeting – Robotyne
7th Gen¹ – AI as a strategist – those running the war from afar
If the Russians really were attacking with shovels, definitely some 1st Gen, as well.
We can collect the whole set!
¹Keep in mind, there is a war going on that few can perceive, fought with weapons they can’t imagine, and with intentions beyond their understanding.
Most don’t notice that AI is now running the real cyber attacks and the big companies are using defensive AIs to counter them. People aren’t telling the AI what to do. The AI is just told to accomplish its goal however it can.
Many notice the world is being flooded with AI generated fake videos and fake facts but they don’t notice these are just small parts of a larger AI generated campaign with a larger goal. And they don’t notice the AI can identify cognative weakness and exploit it.
And few realize that aspects of the Ukraine war have become machine vs machine as AI controlled electronic warfare tries to counter AI autonomous weapons, with decisions being made in timeframes measured in CPU cycles.
And this is just the surface.
The real stuff is more scary.
…for those stupid or unprepared.
