Recently, I came across a news story that caught my attention.
According to reports, in the eastern part of Ukraine, in a region occupied by Russia, a missile strikewounded six North Korean officers and several soldiers.
Why are North Korean soldiers dying on foreign soil, especially when their own country remains in a state of unresolved tension with South Korea?
One possible explanation lies in the fact that a few months ago, Putin visited North Korea. As I mentioned in a previous post, there seems to have been some secretive deals made during that visit.
It’s been speculated that while Putin gifted North Korea a luxury Aurus car (often referred to as the Russian Rolls-Royce), he may have received military equipment from North Korea in return. Given the prolonged nature of the war, Russia likely needs an ongoing supply of ammunition and expendable weaponry.
It wouldn’t be surprising if, before long, we see North Korean troops directly clashing with Ukrainian forces.
With North Korea isolated by international sanctions and still clinging to communism rather than following the global capitalist trend, Russia might be its only remaining ally.
Recent reports of deteriorating relations between North Korea and China only support this idea. I’m curious to see how things will unfold (and if they align with my predictions).
In the meantime, could North Korea stop sending those balloon bombs to South Korea? They’re filled with flammable materials, causing fires in residential areas.
I can’t help but wonder if these balloons will soon carry biological or other hazardous substances. What measures is the South Korean military taking to counter this? I’m really curious.
