  1. Where’s a good place for Ukraine to get their own mercenaries? And what’s a mercenary go for these days? I’m going through my couch looking for change.

  2. So armies can just join in now? Does this work both ways? And if yes, who can join on Ukraines side?

  3. Basically it is time for Poland, South Korea, Japan to join first covertly, then openly.

  4. With North Korea supplying half of Russia’s artillery and now boots on the ground, effectively Ukraine is at war with North Korea. Then we have Iran supplying long-range missiles to Russia. If Ukraine loses its not simply a defeat for Ukraine, its a victory for authoritarianism and shows how pathetically weak the west and democracy is.

  5. I first heard of this the other day, seems like credible reports. Astonishing that we have north koreans fighting in the big wars around the world now. I guess it makes sense, its the only field in which they have focused development.

  6. Please join the Ukrainian Army!

    Foreign nationals can join the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and become an official service member of Ukraine – not mercenaries – through the International Legion a military unit founded in 2022, after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion, that primarily consisted of foreign volunteers.

    However, foreign nationals are only eligible for non-officer roles, though military and combat experience is only a preferred but not mandatory requirement.

  7. [Poland has been modernizing its weapons systems with purchases of NATO-standard arms and armament from South Korea](https://ipdefenseforum.com/2024/05/poland-south-korea-defense-partnership-grows-with-weapons-procurements/)

    >Warsaw’s planned acquisitions from South Korea include K2 Black Panther tanks, K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzers, FA-50 light combat aircraft and Chunmoo multiple rocket launch systems. The two countries initially signed a $12.4 billion defense deal in 2022, the MND stated, with an additional contract signed in 2023 for the K9 Thunder howitzer. In late April 2024, Poland’s National Defense Ministry signed a $1.6 billion contract to buy 72 HOMAR-K launchers from South Korea-based Hanwha Aerospace, Reuters reported.

    Earlier reports about the possibility of South Korea arming Ukraine with NATO-standard weapons noted that South Korea was refraining from direct arms sales to Ukraine for fear of Russian retaliation in the form of military assistance to North Korea.

    Well, that fear is water under the bridge now…When can we expect these top-notch NATO-standard weapons systems to find their way to Ukraine?

  8. Every country in the world wants to gain experience and knowledge in not only Ukraine but almost any significant conflict. But very few countries want to do it publicly.

    The Ukraine war is a goldmine for the US, NATO, China, North Korea and others. The US and Germany in particular, get to sell arms. Not directly to Ukraine, but to their own militaries. The US gives Ukraine billions of dollars worth of armaments, then the defense contractors sell billions of dollars worth of armaments to the US military to replace them. The worn out adage “follow the money” applies.

    As a faustian bonus, various militaries get to try new technologies and tactics on the battlefield (RE drone warfare among others)

    Make no mistake, the current conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and elsewhere are not tragedies for everyone.

  9. They are already sanctioned to the bone, we have to be pragmatic, there is nothing we can do to north Korea

  10. I assumed the West would just increase ammunition slightly to counteract NK troops, essentially more meat for the meat grinder. I thought I recall US military leaders talking about how they thought the degradation of Russian troops through this conflict was useful for Americas long term national security. So it seems as long as they keep supplying enough to slap down enemy troops indefinitely, NK joining in is probably like a 2-for-1 for the West which can now degrade NK resources too.

    I might be mistaken but makes sense to me. The West could easily win this war if we wanted to but we choose not to because it’s a relatively cost effective way to weaken Russia and only costs lives of Ukrainian troops – which is pretty morbid but appears to be the logic of our leaders at least in America. Putin is not going to actually use nukes unless Russia itself is falling without hope, he’s not suicidal, he really cares about Russia in his way and would not let it die unless it was clearly going to be dead anyway.

  11. What’s the logistics for getting a million shells and 10,000 soldiers from North Korea to Russia? If it’s a train it sounds like a good sabotage mission for the special operators.

  12. I can’t stand this comment section. $RDDT to the moon!

  13. I wonder what ol’ Kim is getting from Russia in exchange for opening his population up to that much cultural contamination?

  14. in the first couple weeks of the war there was this international relations expert on the news who said that we were all already in WW3 only no one could admit it yet.

    this is what she meant.

  15. Well, how will our countries respond to North Korea joining in? Bend over backwards and call them naughty boys whilst throwing more ammo at a half dead and struggling Ukraine?

  17. But Russia denied it. And Trump said Putin was a good dude. My faith in Trump is now shaken…

  19. Any Axis members joining Russia in their war should be summarily destroyed by NATO and the credit should officially be attributed to Ukraine.

    The world‘s most powerful armies backed by the strongest economies should not be lacking in munitions and armaments to contribute. Put people to work, boost the economy, and annihilate the enemies of mankind all at once.

  20. So can Ukraine go all out now or are countries like USA and others still making them fight with their hands behind their backs? Let Ukraine utilize all weapons and long range missiles. Let Russia feel the heat for once instead of this nose bleeds they keep giving each other.

  21. Not sure what else you could possibly do to deter North Korea .

  23. How about a well fed Polish battalion in response.

  24. North Korea and Russia signed a military treaty early this summer!

  25. Legit question, but is it possible to theoretically possible for other countries to send troops over to Ukraine as citizens and THEN they join Ukrainian military? Im certain it is more complicated than that, i am just curious if that would be a legitimate loophole.

  26. The Chinese are about the only ones I can think of with any influence on that.

  27. If NK joins the war then Ukraine gets to use western long range weapons. 

  28. Not sure what more can be done. North Koreas already sanctioned to hell. Unless North Korea directly attacks South Korea, SK and the US aren’t gonna risk a Korean War 2.0.

  29. I think the response is going to be a verbal slap on the wrist because the US and Europe are pussies. We give just enough support to Ukraine to hold off Russia, but not enough support to win. It’s been like that for 2 years

  30. I bet every North Korean they capture they show some form of compassion and they will turn on a dime.

  31. UN is just the League of Nations 2.0. Absolutely useless government body and too afraid to act. What are we to do? Western nations continue to send Ukraine money in perpetuity and weapons for offense but they are not allowed to use them for offense? No. Lift the restrictions. Allow them to hit inside Russian. Enough of these games. End this one way or another. One way could end Russian tyranny, the other ensures world war eventually.

  32. Maybe it time for the former Soviet states, to create a coalition separate from NATO.
    Call it the Warsaw pact of civil defence.
    WPCD.

  33. It’s time to lift restrictions on Ukraine’s use of weapons. The only way to end this war is to let them bloody Putin’s nose by striking military targets and maybe his bunkers a couple times.

    Let the son-of-a-bitch know that he should stay in his bunker.

  34. i doubt they sent their best or at least average soldiers. i think these are the labor class that probably just trained for a couple of days before sending them in the front.

  35. I’m sure the US and EU will put out some strongly worded letters about how “concerned” they are while doing nothing significant to hold NK accountable.

  36. All they need is to put up signages, “this way to S. Korea”.

  38. The US should negotiate to provide forces to clear occupied Ukranian territory in trade for becoming a US territory. Ukraine provides a percent of GDP while the US loans them money for weapons and rebuilding. Properly organized the US could clear occupied territory pretty quick and as a US territory they should receive Nato protection.

  39. I feel like if Ukraine starts losing, Poland would step in. I imagine they don’t want Russia as their neighbors again

  40. firm response from who?

    Ukraine is getting money and arms from the world

    what do they want? someone to invade NK? kill their fat leader and/or his sister?

    sorry. take the money and arms. they dying is your problem

  43. It’s messed up how Putins allies are more committed and dedicated than Ukraine’s…
