These suicides, he [White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby] said, were “likely out of fear of reprisal against their families in North Korea in the event that they’re captured.”

Zelenskyy said Friday that while “several” North Korean soldiers were captured, they were “seriously wounded and could not be resuscitated,” suggesting that some of them may have also been killed by comrades.

Kinda wish I hadn’t read this story. Such tragic, futile, needless death.

Poor people, brainwashed from the start of their life, undertrained and sent to fight and die for a war that even for the russians themselves does not make much sense

pressure-fueled indoctrination probably makes people not very dynamic, both tactically and strategically. the war against Ukraine is not a damn counterinsurgency.
