NK has deployed 10K soldiers to Russia

Very concerning if North Korean soldiers get involved. Going to reserve my rage for when I see the first dead North Korean soldier though and then once again, I will be blasting the West. Not that they'll be of any decent quality, most of these NK troops will have never seen war, but it'll be more bodies thrown at the frontlines to overwhelm Ukraine who already have a manpower disadvantage against Russia.

Don't really get how Europe can't produce what Ukraine needs but Ukraine under war and constant bombardment can?

They are just going to have all of the usual problems that foreign troops tend to have:

-difficult to translate things so that everything is coordinated

-necessity of having officers lead their own people

-the NK soldiers are only fighting someone else's war, not even their own.  They could give a rat's ass.  So what happens is that they don't try nearly as hard to kill the enemy because it simply doesn't matter, they'll just follow orders only as much as they have to.       

If the russian troops are C or B grade, then the NK are F or D grade...... they may be so bad that the whole endeavor of having them help may be more trouble than it's worth.  Everything i've read about it says that they ran when the shit got hot.

This should legitimize any use of western long-range weapons.  If the west was wary of things escalating then Russia's desperation made them escalate things, and it is only fair to let them target Russia now.
