    Iran and the DPRK are in no position to allow Russia to do anything.

      North Korea could not have been forced to use their troops to attack Ukraine if Kim Jong Un did not want them too. Iran I’m guessing did not care which hospital their weapons landed in.

        You people talk like you think you’re at the strategy table in game of thrones, and not one of us mud-covered peasants. I’m willing to bet you know less than nothing about the causes of this war and the dynamics between it’s participants.

        Iran I’m guessing did not care which hospital their weapons landed in.

        Naked projection, your side has been bombing hospitals for a year in Palestine and a century everywhere else.

        Truly brilliant. Also there is no evidence the DPRK is deploying troops to attack Ukraine.

            Show it then? It would be much more effective than “yes there is.”

            Yes there is.

            Reasserting your empty claim is not evidence.

            Way more than your imagined threat to “russian” speakers in ukraine.

            You have got to be fucking kidding me.

              “You have got to be fucking kidding me.” Send in the Wagner PMC group (named after Hitler’s favourite composer and co founded by a NAZI) to oppose them Because of course Russia does not have a NAZI problem. (Shame Prigozhin got out of line and had to be murdered in the end.)

              “Reasserting your empty claim is not evidence.” If you spent 20 seconds more looking you would have found more news reports of the North Korean troops. But you didn’t. And I’m not bothering.

                I’ve seen the reports. They say those troops are in Russia. If they’ve done anything to date, they’ve defended Russian territory, in Russia.

                  “they’ve defended Russian territory, in Russia.” LOL Prigozhin is dead, he’s not doing another march on Moscow.
