Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

North Korean troops sent to Russia to support its war in Ukraine remain sidelined due to poor training and logistical issues, according to Western officials.

These soldiers are expected to relieve Russian troops in secondary positions to free up forces for frontline battles in regions like Kursk, though they are unlikely to see combat in eastern Ukraine.

The war continues to take a massive toll, with over 700,000 Russian soldiers killed or wounded since February 2022, while both sides face challenges replacing losses.

Russia’s reliance on poorly trained recruits and prison conscripts highlights its growing manpower issues.

IIRC from earlier reading, Russia was issuing them Russian rifles for the conflict.

I don't think that the thumbnail is from the current deployment.

I want to see how the south Korean army would do against the north in a scenario where outside interference is not Allowed and nukes are banned

While I think that the south korean army would be superior in every way, it‘s also safe to assume that Kim send the most expendable soldiers of his army to russia.

Ass an example, in the photo, if I was the flash, I could kick each one in the balls. They didn't think that march thru! Rule #1 protect your balls. No balls? I bet the crutch still hurts if you're a woman or asexual. Yeah, bad move NK!
