    I hope adding Nork troops on the ground triggers more NATO support. Spain recently committed to 6 billion dollars in arms and financial aid over the next five years.

    It's mighty Mother Russia calling up North Koreans about the same as the Dallas Cowboys asking for help from Arkansas-Pine Bluff?
    Embarrassing. The next thing you know someone will tell me a country with no navy sank Russia's flagship.

    That's how Newark, NJ natives pronounce it -- Nork.

    "The intercepts also reveal plans to have one interpreter and three senior officers for every 30 North Korean men..."

    Doing some Googling and back-of-the-napkin math, there are 1.1M Korean speakers in the US in a population of 350M.

    So if you figure 1 in 300 Americans speaks Korean (and the ratio is probably much, much wider in the military and outside of ethnic enclaves), and you throw in that I doubt Korean is a real popular subject in Russian schools and that North Korean has now had more than 50 years to diverge from what is commonly taught, this is going to go well.

    Russia really does want to start World War III. What is wrong with this world?

    All the ROKs have to do is fart in the North's general direction and those NK troops will get pulled faster than an achy tooth.

    These people seem to be forgetting that Russia started the war with Ukraine, for no reason, just for the hell of it. And it could stop it, too, for the same reasons.

    I’m unclear on something in that article. It says Russian drones struck a Russian military school in Chechnya and that Chechnya is now sending troops to help … Russia?

    Seems like they may have meant Ukrainian drones striking the school?

    Yes, I believe that was mistake in the article. There was a Ukrainian drone that struck a key Chechnya military school about a week ago.
