BREAKING: N Korea Deploys Troops to Ukraine!
North Korea is going boots on the ground to support Russia’s war in Ukraine just what does this mean for the war and for the Korean Peninsula and the West I’m Paul US Army Combat veteran let’s talk about it this story actually really did shock me I was not expecting this Pyongyang has announced very publicly that it’s going to send troops to Ukraine within a month H went to their June 19th defense pact signed between Russia and North Korea with which included a promise to provide military assistance to one another right and then a few days later pongyang announces it’s sending troops to Ukraine now as I pointed out the term military assistance is Broad and it’s something that frankly North Korea has already provided to Russia having sold Russia a lot of their artillery shells around 2 million and now they are going to be sending a troop contingent to Ukraine and now the actual amount let’s see if I can find it here uh is going to be initially at least an engineering unit uh it will be sending troops in the form of a military engineering unit to support Russian forces on the ground in the denet region so that is going to be a military contingent uh operating there and in and in denk now this doesn’t sound like it’s going to be a Frontline unit it’s tough to say right what this unit’s role is going to be uh the dprk as they point out has already supplied artillery ammunition Rockets uh for multiple Russian mlrs systems uh as well as allegedly some ballistic missiles but the Pentagon has their own kind of stance on this um and before we talk about that I wanted to just mention if you haven’t picked up your strike gum you absolutely should uh it’s the energy drink zero sugar energy drink alternative 90 milligrams of caffeine in every piece that’s as much as an amp energy as much as a Red Bull just in this thing you guys know energy drinks are like four and 1 half five bucks a pop now inflation is crazy um so you can get again the equivalent of five energy drinks in one of these packs so you can go to strike gum if if you want to get like the veterans discount and the new customer discount or you can just go to Amazon and search strike gum we have here we actually just rolled out the five pack where you can get five five packs of five pieces each the equivalent of 25 energy drinks for 25 bucks it’s a great deal and thanks to everybody that’s left us the reviews on Amazon they’ve helped really get the word out that this is the better product It’s Made in the USA veteran owned natural caffeine none of the weird encapsulated lab stuff that you see some other competing energy uh energy caffeinated gums have so thanks check us out strike gum.com or just search strike gum on Amazon okay the Pentagon has their own stance on this right and they’re saying these North Korean troops are going to be Canon fodder the quote is I think if I were North Korean military personnel management I would be questioning my choices sending forces to be canon fod in in an illegal war against Ukraine right writer also said quote we’ve seen the kind of casualties that Russian forces have and implying that that similar casualty rates will be incurred by North Korea but there’s a couple of sort of caveat here first off why does pongyang want to do this well I think there’s a couple of reasons the first is that the North Korean military has never been combat tested right not since the Korean War and the leadership the military leadership is likely looking at saying listen we need to learn on the ground how to conduct a modern war right and this is where you want to do it especially because the strategy Russia’s pursuing with high c High attrition is something that the North Koreans would likely want to adopt themselves and so sending a military engineering unit is exactly the kind of unit you would want to be involved in this operation right they’re going to see how entrenching how mining uh they’re going to learn a lot of new things that they’re going to bring back to North Korea who again maintains a large demilitarized zone and likely believes truly or not that the West would is is is Jonesing for an invasion or the South is Jonesing to invade North Korea so North Korea learning from the Russians is definitely a priority but North Korea also has the Personnel to spare right this is the Korean People’s Army North Korea’s Miss uh uh uh military and you can see that it has mandatory conscription between the ages of 17 to 30 years of age which is the fifth largest army in the world with 1.3 million active personnel and another 500,000 Reserve Personnel 5% of the North Korean GDP goes into this so again you’re looking at North Korea could send easily uh a tenth of their active Personnel force uh just to ACR some experience and get combat time uh and it would be a game-changing source of personnel to them now the only thing that that kind of caveat them that’s going to hold the North Koreans back is the fact that this is also a deterrent Force right this is deterring North Korea they believe or South Korea they believe from invading right they’re large military personnel but as you guys know North Korea is also a nuclear State meaning that as we pointed out with Russia where if you have a nuclear deterrent your conventional deterrent can actually afford to take a hit hit and so this kind of long-term investment in in in turning the North Korean military into something that looks like the current Russian military is something that’s probably pretty appealing to someone like Kim Jong-un so that is what I suspect may be occurring that would be the worst case scenario truly to see uh uh a six-figure movement of troops to the uh Russian or to Russian occupying Ukraine to join the fight the problem is again this is dangerous for a bunch of reasons one while Russian troops have training measured in days or hours uh these troops May at least have a pretty robust basic training a complete basic training now famously the North Korean military is often times used for non-military things like they conduct a lot of farming operations um oftentimes simple area beautification or construction projects um and that’s simply because they have it’s cheap Manpower um and you can’t you cannot pull out all 18 to 30 year old males from your society and have it continue to function in a robust way if they don’t make some kind of economic contribution right I mean imagine all the economic output that 17 to 30 year old men do in the United States right they they probably make up a large portion of the country’s most productive workers uh and so siphoning them into this uh military system is not something North Korea wants to do entirely but again able-bodied military trained proficient and hard workers right like that’s the thing if you can Farm you can dig a trench and if you can dig a trench you could fight in Ukraine so yeah now the question is right the US is like oh they’re going to be Canon fodder and I don’t think that North Korea cares uh I I just don’t remember for a lot of authoritarian societies the demographic that is the biggest risk of unrest is often times young men uh so while North Korea’s officer Corps will likely acrew a lot of valuable combat experience uh killing off large numbers of North Korean men is not that big a problem for the north um right especially when you’re an authoritarian State you can solve problems all kinds of crazy ways so anyway guys that is really all I had for now we’re going to see more as we learn more I’m going to keep my eye on this story for sure um thanks to the colonel tier members of combat news.com thanks to the lieutenant tier members could not do this all without you guys I appreciate you so much and I will see you in the next one cheers

Getting too complicated. Nuclear war Inevitable. Hold your loved ones close…
Hell is a good place for kim bong un, im sure he will suffer
That engineering unit is gonna be deployed to the Frontline so the Russian elite troops can spot Ukrainian defences.
The only solution is to escalate, move into a more aggressive posture towards the NK. If they perceived a threat it may hold assets in place
fair play
If this actually happens (the more I think on it, I have my doubts) I would expect a lot of surrendering, followed by defection.
Time for Western countries to do the same!
They will be quickly running backwards in terror.
Putin has been bitching from the beginning that he dares the west to put boots on the ground, then he openly does it.
Does this mean that NATO can also send soldiers to Ukraine?
So Putin is going to kill Korean troops. He is so desperate. Dragging Korea into it.
NK about to find out how ''terrible'' US weapons are and how ''superior'' north korean weapons are.
My money is on the Ruskies nukes are inoperable due to maintenance not being done. Instead, they built Super yachts and other nonsense. Their entire economy is roughly equivalent to New York state. You cannot do everything with shite
NATO is doing that already, whats the big deal?
DMZ in Ukraine.
Yes, it's a good idea, nato soldiers and mercenaries are fighting for Ukraine, so North Korea can fight for Russia. Ukraine and nato don't like it, and then they can back home a cry lol.
N kosreans as soon they will see themselves out of the country, they will do everything to flee to Europe or anywhere else
Not helping China's image being Putin's bestie.
Can’t wait to hear about all of these troops defecting"
If this is truth, we must be worried. Something did changed, most probably ww3 is not avoidable anymore.
I suspect that Russia will teach NK how to enhance the range and deployment of their arsenals in exchange for units
Of course NK is willing to fill up the meat grinder they certainly don't care about their men's lives just like the Russians don't. I bought a pack of your Strike Gum and I will give my honest review and I drink a mega amount of energy drinks. Stay tuned😂
They JUST justified Macron's statements about sending NATO troops to Ukraine. North Korea, You baffling morons.
