and those who don't run will just become cannon fodder.

...to defect and vanish into Ukraine if they work it correctly. Deploy, put up the white flag and let Ukranians hide them until they are considered MIA. Assume a new identity.

I think that Putin and Kim could coordinate this without Trump.

The attack happened well after he was out of office.

while he was in office seriously undermining national and international security because he shared their locations. Because he will use anything for personal gain and when Zelenskyy didn’t cooperate by lying to get him elected it’s not a far reach to believe that he shared intelligence with Russia. There’s a reason security clearance is required. Even today he doesn’t qualify for clearance and continues to be a threat and a risk. He’s repeatedly said there will be WW III. He will be one of the main reasons whether he is elected or not.

Although these DPRK soldiers are SOF and supposedly more disciplined and trained than regular grunts, Kiev can ask ROK for linguistics help for a PSYOP campaign with loudspeakers and leaflets on how to surrender and get something to eat.

And a quick demoralizer for these DPRK SOF soldiers would be an inaugural greeting from a HIMARS system. I would make that a targeting priority.

Russia is running out of its own troops and has to use North Korean troops

Attempting to surrender or desert are being killed by ruzzians/chechens who are there to make sure they fight or die.

Good.

Ukrainian forces can kill Fat Kim's fake Russians all day without him using it as an excuse to declare war on the West.

the west should respond with sending troops to counter. A good start would be to provide the same air defense equipment and personnel being sent to Israel.

I well remember my interaction with S. Korean forces in Vietnam and they were fearsome fighters, they scared the VC and NVA so badly that there were bounties on every S. Korean soldier killed.

South Korea is facing an increasingly bellicose enemy. It needs to maintain its best defensive posture.

In a war between the Norks and S. Korean/US, the country of N. Korea would disappear, leaving China with a huge problem dealing with the displaced N. Korean population left destitute with their defeat.
The US and NATO should, upon confirmation of Norks involved in combat, declare a CAP and start interdicting any Russian/N. Korean forces in Ukraine.

However, most of the S. Korean population is within tube artillery range. The casualties would be catastrophic.

The concern is that mutually assured destruction only works as a deterrence if there are sane leaders on both sides. Kim is nuts (or trying hard to so appear) and there is no one in N. Korean leadership that would stand up to him.

All S. Korea can do is to maintain the best deterrence it can muster.

And I think you meant Gunny.

I was US Army, so I recognize USA and USAF ranks EZ. Some of the USN and USMC ranks/insignias seem different to me. Your avatar looks like four chevrons.

The scrambled eggs on the old saucer caps were all alike though (field grade officer and above).

It does get confusing within the different branches, case in point, in the Army and Marines, our job descriptions are referred to as MOS, Military Occupational Specialty, while in the Navy it's Rating, Air Force, I have no idea.

And I'm still confused by the different job descriptions in the different branches.
