Just read where Russia has suffered over 600,000 cas. in the war. I guess Putin will fight to the last Russian, or North Korean now, in this war.

Motivation for North Koreans…

That town over there has plenty of rice.
The people there do not want to share.
Eat as much as you want.

Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!………..


Another big motivation could be: Upon you won the fight… you can said wathever you want… not need to applaude your lider… etc

There is never a need to applaude your lider.

18 North Korean soldiers have reportedly fled from positions near the Ukrainian border with Russia's Bryansk and Kursk regions, according to Ukrainian intelligence sources. Russian forces are now searching for the deserters, while trying to hide the incident from higher command.

There are no Korean soldiers at the front. The military alliance treaty was ratified only a few days ago. Yes, and there is no need for their participation. The war has already been won.

Again Russia has had high loses for few gains …

18 North Korean soldiers have reportedly fled from positions near the Ukrainian border
Hmmm ? Guess they'd rather defect to Ukraine than go back to North Korea…

Tango01 Supporting Member of TMP16 Oct 2024 2:58 p.m. PST

How interesting to see the reaction of the primitive North Koreans to develop and perceive what life is like on the rest of the planet… even in Nazi Russia… for their narrow eyes it is like being in Disneyland or Mars…

Hmm… I look at the birth rate in North and South Korea. And I doubt that people in North Korea are as unhappy as they are told in the West.

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP17 Oct 2024 11:22 a.m. PST

I doubt that people in North Korea are as unhappy as they are told in the West.

Wow ! Talk about Communist propaganda !

I recall, North Koreans trying to get to South Korea.

40% of the North live in poverty …

The North has gulags …

Un is a criminal …

Pretty sure you can take all that to the bank …

Tango01 Supporting Member of TMP17 Oct 2024 4:05 p.m. PST

Incredible!… bith rate Now it means happiness and prosperity… like in the poorest countries of Africa, Asia or South America…

Did you know that some of those who escaped from North Korea are trying to return back?

It's funny that they talk about how many Koreans fled to the South after the end of the war, but they contrast this with the number of those who returned over the past ten years (time of the toughest sanctions))) Pure manipulation of consciousness)))

Tourists are now traveling to North Korea and describing their impressions. Here is a girl from Uzbekistan, posting her impressions of a trip to North Korea. In my opinion, it's pretty good for a country that has long been under severe sanctions.

But… do you really think that in countries like North Korea or Cuba you can travel free?… you ought to have a mentor/guide from the goverment to "travel" there…


Have you read WHY those people return to their homes?… please, do it and then comment…


"while more than 10,000 North Korean defectors have arrived in South Korea in the past decade, just 30 have returned …"


How is living in Nardia?…

Hmm… What do you expect from a publication in the Western press? That they will say that North Korea has its own advantages in life? Don't you find it funny?
It's not enough for you to compare the birth rate – compare the number of suicides in the two Koreas. South Korea is twice as high as North Korea in this indicator… Is that logical?

I lived in a communist country, so I understand what is happening there much better than those who do not have such experience. Yes, there are many problems that are unfamiliar to Westerners, but there are also huge advantages that you also cannot understand. Look at Germany – the generations that lived in the DDR are almost gone, and the worldview of East Germans differs significantly from Western ones. And sympathy among them for the DDR is high.

I myself lived in the USSR. And I really wanted to see with my own eyes the "paradise" life in the West. Now I have seen it, now I myself live under capitalism. And I am not some kind of loser – I am an entrepreneur and have a good income. My children and I are provided for and free…
But I miss the USSR. And it will be difficult for me to explain to you what I miss…. There was… A completely different feeling of life. A different taste. It is impossible to explain. And you can feel this lack only by losing this feeling. It's like air – while you have it, you don't feel it, but you feel its lack immediately. I think most North Koreans who fled miss it for this very reason.

And, by the way, I don't know for sure, but I saw information that an attempt to escape from South Korea to North Korea is punishable by twenty years in prison.

nickinsomerset18 Oct 2024 1:25 a.m. PST

Typical of the brainwashed Russians and NOKs! Anyone from South Korea can head north, they are free to fly to a 3rd country and on to "paradise".

There are no figures for suicides in North Korea, because they are all so happy no one would think of it!

Tally Ho!

I visit Comunist countries…. a lot!… and I never return… talking with people who live there made me run as soon as possible and thanks to God that I was not born in one of them…


About the statistics you show… how they managed to stay on North Korea and pick up information?… all info there became from Faty Kim and his gang … They can say that Unicorns have reproduced much more than in other years or that people just die from so much joy and prosperity …

There is a joke in Russia that perfectly fits your opinion)))
Two people meet and talk and they start talking about music. One asks the other:

"Do you like Mozart's music?"
The second responds: "Not very much."
The first: "What did you listen to?"
The second: "I haven't heard it myself, but a friend sang it to me")))

So your media and statistics are lying? Ok. But then that means that everything you know about North Korea may be a lie. Or just the things you don't like? ;-)

Tango01 Supporting Member of TMP18 Oct 2024 5:17 p.m. PST

Good joke… let's me…


-Vladimir's Putin's plan for the new economy. The goal? Make people rich and happy. List of people attached.

-An American and a Russian are arguing about which country has more freedom. The American says, "I can walk right up to the White House and shout 'Down with Donald Trump!' and nothing bad will happen to me." The Russian replies, "Guess what? I can walk in front of Kremlin and shout 'Down with Donald Trump!' and nothing will happen to me either."


-What's the definition of a Russian string quartet? A Soviet orchestra back from a US tour.


-Stalin, during a speech: "I am prepared to give my blood for the cause of the working class, drop by drop." A note is passed up to the podium: "Dear Comrade Stalin, why drag things out? Give it all now."


-A drunk was taking a walk in the zoo. Suddenly he saw a donkey. He elbowed his way up to the enclosure, pulled the donkey's face up close to his own, kissed it and began to weep: "You poor bunny rabbit, what have the Communists done to you?"

-Question to Radio Armenia: "Is it possible to build Communism in a random capitalist country like, say, the Netherlands?"
Answer: "Of course it's possible but what have the Netherlands ever done to you?"

-Two rabbits on a road during the Stalinist terror of 1937.
First rabbit: "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Second rabbit: "Haven't you heard? There's a rumour going round that all camels are to be castrated."
First rabbit: "But you're not a camel."
Second rabbit: "After they catch you and castrate you, try proving you're not a camel."


-"Comrade Rabinowitz, why weren't you present at the last meeting of the Communist Party?"
"No-one told me it would be the last one. If I had known that I would have come with my whole family."

Yeah, not bad. Let me continue:

I wonder how much longer we'll ignore the fact that Mufasa and Simba were monarchs in a hereditary dynasty of a feudal regime, while Scar was democratically elected by an electoral assembly of hyenas?

Democracy means that three foxes and one hare decide what they have for dinner.

Snowden's first rule is: "If you want to fight for freedom and democracy, hide in totalitarian Russia."

What is democracy? It's when, on the one hand, you have to study to get a license to use an electric lift. On the other hand, to run a country, the army, foreign policy, science and a bunch of other complicated things, you don't have to study anything. It's enough to simply get a certificate.

The only reliable indicator of democracy in a country is the number of Russian ambassadors expelled from it.

Democracy is when pugs choose an elephant at which to bark.

Fima and Yasha borrowed money from Vanya, and then voted and decided by a majority not to pay it back. Democracy!

Democracy is when the crew of a sinking ship, instead of working together to save the vessel, begins to choose a new captain.

Democracy is when a bunch of scoundrels rule a crowd of fools.

There was liberal opposition even in Paradise. And what came of it?

Democracy is a very useful thing if there is a desire to blur the responsibility for the decision made.

American democracy is a medieval inquisition of the 21st century. Judge for yourself:
All who lived before its appearance are lost souls in the darkness doomed to eternal torment, all who do not agree to accept it are heretics, all who oppose its acceptance will face crusades.

Hmmm … a Russian telling us/the West about democracy ?

I'll freely admit, some in the USA have the own versions of democracy. Even calling their version of socialism democracy. As well as many keep talking about threats to democracy from within, etc. …

IIRC, from an old Pogo comic it the paper – "We have met the enemy and they is us." …

Of course, my favorite quote IIRC from Maggie Thatcher, "Socialism is great until you run out of other peoples' money." …
