Summary
Russia is reportedly deploying up to 100,000 North Korean soldiers to support its war efforts, with salaries estimated at $2,000 per soldier per month.
However, experts believe most of the funds will go to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his regime, with little or none reaching the soldiers or their families.
The funds could bolster North Korea’s struggling economy, support military spending, and fund luxury goods to secure loyalty among elites.
Analysts warn the soldiers, including unprepared elite units, will likely face high casualties as “cannon fodder” in Ukraine.
Of course, they’re renting slaves.
Selling. You don’t expect them to live, or being allowed back when they have seen something else than the brutal world in NK…
No going back after engorging on unrestricted internet porn
so… is dprk sending their very best elite soldiers, or the rejects that can’t even lace up their own boots?
Send your worst troops under your best commanders so the officers gain practical experience while sending Gomers to their doom.
I thought I saw or read that their special forces were using snorkels to sneak in the water. I know that doesn’t answer your question, but I wanted to pile on a little.
That sounds like something the best elite soldiers would have done 100 years ago, and the rejects today.
Giving your life for $2k/month… Jesus. That’s less than minimum wage where I live. And they don’t even get most of it, or perhaps any of it. That’s… Wow.
That’s a decent salary for Eastern Europe. In Ukraine, the median salary is below $500/mo. Just look at the map, $2000/mo puts you above average for all the countries in Eastern and Central Europe.
$12/hr for someone living in NK is a lot more money than $12/hr for someone in your neighborhood.
Pleading, begging, and bargaining for North Korean soldiers is a sure sign that the Russians are doing very well with their special military operation.
What do you mean? The 1000th day of the glorious 3-day special operation must be going well
At no point was it explicitly stated, which planet’s day was being referred to.
Step 1: Ukraine captures as many Korean soldiers as possible Step 2: show them that they are being played by their own government Step 3: release them back Step 4 : ???
Source: not a strategist
show the russian soldiers that their new north korean comrades are paid more than they are.
Found the strategist! Create internal struggles already within the soldiers, nice
No shit?
I wonder what the pleasant folks over at Hexbear think about this…
“Uncritical support for brave socialist comrades giving their lives in defeating Nazis and NATO” or something on those lines
Paying a soldier just makes them a mercenary. The best soldiers kill others with sheer ideology.
Millions is not a lot
I mean, they are soldiers. They get their compensation by being a soldier (assuming that they get any pay at all. which is… debatable?).
Why would anyone assume that the money goes to the soldiers?
Their compensation is allowing their families to continue living. Is that enough? Now pray to Kim Jong Un right now
