…Russia expert and former intelligence officer in Russian doctrine and strategy for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Rebekah Koffler, threw cold water on these claims and said they were "implausible." "The Russian propaganda machine could say that 100,000 North Korean volunteers would fight on behalf of Russia, just to scare the West, but in reality, it's disinformation," she said in answer to questions from Fox News Digital… Fox News: link |

It may have been misinformation for internal consumption, but I doubt many in the west were scared. |

You know those guys would've been really well-trained on all the latest weapons systems… |

I expect the expeditionary force would have made it about as far as the first Ukrainian Burger King. |

Un needs combat vets returning to NK like he needs a whole in his head. |

dapeters, who says they'd be returning? If NK sent in 100k (and maybe another batch) promising food and glory, but they just get thrown in to mob the Ukrainians, and happen die to the man isn't that a win-win for both Putin and Kim? Quality has a quantity all it's own. 100k rifle armed NKs is something that would have an effect if the price in bodies is willing to be paid. Kim can keep a lid on news coming back from the front I would assume so it's not like NK mothers are going to the border demanding their sons back. |

You know those guys would've been really well-trained on all the latest weapons systems… Ironically, the North Koreans have systems that out-range the HIMARS, could be useful to the Russians. |

You mean their SP 170mm or missiles ? Don't think they would send any of those as they need them to protect their own borders, etc. They are always concerned about the Nasty Americans pushing their Korean bros to attack to the North and start a hot war. But if they would send anything IMO would be leg Infantry. One of the most numerous forces and are generally easier to replace. |
