Captured Russian soldier says North Koreans opened fire on his unit
Pyongyang will get food, technology and weapons for its contribution to Russia's war effort against Ukraine.
Summary
A captured Russian soldier claimed North Korean troops stationed in Russia’s Kursk region endangered their allies by mistakenly firing on their own unit.
Video footage purportedly shows the soldier describing how North Koreans fired in the wrong direction during an assault, reportedly killing two Russian soldiers. North Korea has deployed around 8,000 troops to support Russia, raising international concerns about escalating conflict dynamics.
In return, North Korea is reportedly receiving money, food, and space technology from Russia. Moscow plans to form multiple units of North Korean soldiers integrated with Russian ethnic minorities.
Ukraine needs to bring in a South Korean resettlement team and tell the North Koreans all they need do is surrender and get their free tickets to South Korea.
Amusing as that is, I'm pretty sure it's happened in every war since time began, and will continue to happen until we're back at sticks and stones.
I'm surprised Ukraine and Russia didn't get together at the start of the war to decide who was skins and who was shirts so they knew what team was what. Would have been easier for the NKs to remember which white person was the bad one.
lol I can't believe even my cynical expectations on the NKs (which are "miscommunicate and get ground into dog food) were too lofty. Well done fellas.
I really feel sorry for those guys, they are recruited to fight someone else's war in a foreign country and are literally exchanged for food, money and space technology like a cattle.
This shows how much the NK government values the lives of their citizens. Grim!
The South Koreans did the same in Vietnam and it is said it kickstarted their economy, maybe it's the same here.
!But not really!<
These guys have been thrown into the middle of a conflict of similar looking people wearing similar camo and using similar weapons while speaking almost indistinguishable languages. This is probably not the only time this will happen.
Oh no! Anyway.
"You white people all look the same"
It's actually quite true ...
You're joking but when I was living in Asia, people would constantly tell me I looked like whatever random white celebs they saw last from Brad pit, Di caprio, George Clooney or Wentworth miller from a fan of prison break and so on, and I even got Vladimir Poutine a few times. I could have understood Rupert Grint but the rest was just pure "cross race effect". :D
Happens to everyone.
darn. came to say this.
"All white ppl look the same!"
-NK, probably
I mean, considering that the russians are (alllegedly) calling them "chinese" to be bigoted... that probably IS going to be the official line.
Hell yeah, this might be the timeline where Best Korea fools everyone and takes over both Russia and Ukraine moves all their people there, and opens a chain of kimchi-focused fast-casual restaurant/DahnMuDo centers called Kim's Ki Brain and Body Center.
Normally I would ask you what drugs you took to post this.
BUT: This timeline has become so crazy that I absolutely believe this without taking any drugs myself.
No drugs, just drogas.
I give it 50/50 odds of happening in this timeline. It either happens or it doesn't.
Lets hope so.
Took the words right out of my mouth
Fuckin hell I want to live in this timeline.
"wrong direction" 😉
Not surprising really. Look back at the history of war and see how many occasions there was a friendly fire incident under the best of circumstances. Russia has already had numerous, often high-profile FF incidents in this war alone. Add in a completely foreign group of fighters speaking a different language, etc, etc... Pretty much inevitable.

executing anyone smart enough to question or dissent since 1948
What an unfortunate thing to happen on free dozen eggs night.
You are kidding me, right? The video was uploaded by a pro-Ukraine influencer in X of all places. Newsweek reports it and suddenly it's taken in this community as the truth? I'm not saying it's fake either. Just saying, it's easy for someone in Ukraine to look like a Russian soldier making up some story about how stupid North Korean soldiers are in the front.
And even if the guy was a Russian soldier, under torture anyone would say anything, even something as lousy as "NK soldiers can't comprehend left and right".
Wrong Slavs!
That was quick.
To the surprise of absolutely no one.
