Putin preparing to rush 'at least 10,000' North Korean troops to Ukrainian border after 'striking deal' with Kim Jong Un

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Ukraine is facing the threat of a huge influx of North Korean troops who are being trained by Russia's army.

At least 10,000 soldiers from the Pyongyang regime are understood to be taking part in manoeuvres before an expected deployment in regions close to the Ukrainian border.

The Kremlin is said to have paid North Korea to send personnel to the front in a deal struck on president Vladimir Putin's state visit to Kim Jong Un.

North Korea, like Iran, is also reported to be supplying weaponry and ammunition.

The suggestions emerged as Volodymyr Zelensky unveiled his blueprint for liberating Ukraine, calling Russia and its allies as a 'coalition of criminals'.

#3 An opportunity for Kim to earn some foreign currency and for NKor troops to get a little real-world practice. Not exactly world-shaking events.

#6 Not exactly world-shaking events.

The earlier demo of highways and railroad crossings suggests Kim has found in Russia a sponsor for the prelude of an Israel/Gaza type assault.

For decades DPRK has practiced assaults from tunnels. The road and rail destruction is to impede ROK/US forces moving north. The split Obama/Biden/Harris Presidency may be the trigger to assume the US will withdraw or at least stand passive.

With a big enough backer, the world may whine but little else.

#7 The earlier demo of highways and railroad crossings suggests Kim has found in Russia a sponsor for the prelude of an Israel/Gaza type assault.

I dunno. Kim periodically acts out when he feels the world is not paying enough attention. Threatening apocalyptic war is a good gig both at home and abroad, but you can only actually play the card once. I see it as aggravated bluster, but if I am wrong, we will definitely notice.

In Seoul. Kim's defiance:
