Shocking Tactics Revealed
A recently discovered diary of a North Korean soldier has exposed disturbing military practices in the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The document, found on a fallen soldier, details how troops are being used as human decoys to draw out Ukrainian drones. This revelation sheds light on the desperate measures employed by North Korean forces, who lack proper training for modern warfare.
The diary includes a crude drawing depicting a soldier acting as bait to attract drones, along with instructions for shooting them down. This tactic has reportedly led to significant casualties among North Korean troops, who are ill-equipped to face the challenges of contemporary combat.
Mounting Casualties
The human cost of these tactics is staggering. National Security Council official John Kirby reported that over 1,000 North Korean soldiers died in just one week of fighting. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy provided an even grimmer estimate, stating that 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded in the Kursk region alone.
National Security Council official John Kirby described how North Korean troops are being treated as “expendable” and that they have been ordered to take on “hopeless assaults against Ukrainian defenses.”
The situation is so dire that some North Korean soldiers have reportedly taken their own lives rather than face capture. This extreme measure is believed to stem from fears of reprisals against their families back home.
More tragedies funded by the U.S. government, then.
Russia’s Controversial Deployment
Despite neither Russia nor North Korea officially acknowledging it, reports suggest that Russia has deployed an estimated 11,000 North Korean soldiers to support its counteroffensive in Ukraine. These troops are reportedly conducting “massed, dismounted assaults against Ukrainian positions in Kursk,” according to Kirby.
The deployment of North Korean troops appears to be part of a military assistance deal between Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin. In exchange for the soldiers, Russia is reportedly providing North Korea with fuel and assistance with satellite launches, further complicating the geopolitical landscape.
Let’s hope Trump puts an end to this madness. And soon.
