Six officers from North Korea were among the 20 soldiers killed in a Ukrainian missile strike on Russian-occupied territory near Donetsk, intelligence sources say.
Hmm and what were they doing there I wonder.
No need to wonder, this has been covered well enough.
The DPRK doesn’t have many, if any, soldiers, or officers, with combat experience from a modern battlefield. Given their geopolitical situation, that is a problem for them.
So they get to provide one of their primary allies (Russia) with some level military support, and acquire some much needed practical and relevant experience that they can bring back to their own militaries and military industries.
This was certainly an important lesson.
I also like to laugh and make jokes about people who die after being born into totalitarian dictatorships, and have to join the military to feed themselves, or their families.
Oh wait, no, I don’t.
You can support Ukraine, and not be glib about, or rejoice in, specific deaths of soldiers on a battlefield.
A good first step would be to stop watching war porn of soldiers getting merked with grenade drops, if that’s something you do, I don’t know.
Their comment was hardly, “lololol dead soldiers”, learn to not be triggered so easily.
Well that’s good. That would have meant my description of it being glib, would have been inaccurate.
Your comment is not an overreaction for calling it glib, smartass.
