North Korea on Monday confirmed for the first time it has sent
troops to Russia to support its war against Ukraine. US, South
Korean and Ukrainian intelligence officials said last year
Pyongyang dispatched about 10,000 to 12,000 troops, but North
Korea had previously neither confirmed nor denied the reports.

Well, we KNEW ... though not how MANY.
Fortunately, I don't think NK can spare larger
numbers.
Does this mean it's Ukraine's turn to field some foreigners?
Well, there ARE 'foreign volunteers' - were from
the beginning. Not sure how MANY alas.
I wonder what a couple dozen US piloted B-2s, F-35s and several acres
of Bradley's and Abrams could do in a few weeks?
Well ... probably start WW3 ...........
First sign will be a really bright flash over Kyiv.
There's a sort of fine political/psychological
balance involved here. Proxy wars have to be
done -Just So- or everything goes to hell.
Why, Vlad could end up begging Volodomyr to, "KEEP Crimea ...
PLEASE!!"
I just don't see Russia EVER surrendering Crimea.
It's historical, wars have been fought for it,
much blood spilled. For Russia it's also been
a huge INVESTMENT and a matter of critical
national security.
In a SANE world, Ukraine could officially own
it - but Russia could have a sort of free pass
to own/control its own port facilities and
such.
But ....
