The Kims Are Coming!

After a few cat and mouse days of Defense Secretary Lloyd “Raytheon” Austin’s denials, the Pentagon finally yesterday affirmed that there was evidence of a North Korean military presence in Russia. Asked what they were doing in Russia, Austin replied, “What exactly they are doing? Left to be seen. These are things that we need to sort out.”

For days, South Korea (no conflict of interest there) and Ukraine (nor there) had been claiming that thousands of North Korean soldiers had swooped in to rescue a beaten and bloodied Russian army from certain defeat at the hands of Ukraine (which has lost nearly a million men at arms in the nearly three year war). As the Russian army accelerates its pace, burning through the last fortified towns in eastern Ukraine, the mainstream media continues – with a few reluctant but panicked exceptions – to push the “Russia is losing” narrative. 

The added twist of thousands of “evil communists” from North Korea screaming across the Russian tundra (on horseback, no doubt) promises to add new plot lines to the drama concocted by the mainstream media and most of Washington, and indeed the usual suspects are biting furiously at the bait.

Take US House Intelligence Committee Chairman Michael Turner. He is so outraged that there might be members of the North Korean military in Russia that he actually sent a letter to President Biden calling for war. “If North Korean military forces join Russia’s war against Ukraine,” Fox News reported him to say, “the US should consider the possibility of direct military action.”

Against whom? We are already involved in a proxy war with Russia through Ukraine. We are already directly involved in Israel’s seven-front war against its neighbors and Iran. Who does Chairman Turner think we should attack if North Korean troops are present in Russia? Russia? North Korea? China? All of them? 

North Korea and Russia have just signed a treaty whereby their two militaries will more closely collaborate and even come to each other’s aid if one is threatened. While such an agreement may give Turner and the other neocons the vapors, it is nothing different than the mutual defense treaty the US has with its NATO partners and with many others on a bipartisan basis.

Treaties for me but not for thee? Is that the name of the “rules-based international order” game?

The hypocrisy runs even deeper. It is well-known and widely reported that NATO countries are training Ukrainian troops not only in NATO countries but inside Ukraine itself. So it’s absolutely fine for the US and its NATO partners to insert troops inside Ukraine to train its military to kill more Russians and to even operate sophisticated weapons systems inside Ukraine that the Ukrainian military could never operate on its own, but if Russia strikes up a deal with North Korea where the two armies can train together inside Russia, it’s a “red line” (as Chairman Turner wrote) that demands that we start WWIII. 

It seems we are not sending our best and brightest to Congress.

What we are witnessing is the birth of a new narrative after some 500 Ukraine narratives have already collapsed under the weight of their own contradictions. Remember the two years of “Russia is losing” narrative? Well just this week NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, General Christopher Cavoli, said in an interview with the German Spiegel magazine that Russia would emerge from this conflict actually STRONGER than when it entered!

But of course they are losing…

So what to do? Just as the Hollywood writers do once a sit-com has run too many seasons and is playing itself out, plot-wise, insert a new character. Insert a new twist, to bamboozle the viewers and give them a new reason to keep watching the program. It’s funny but not funny, because the future of the world hangs in the balance. Just like the film “Idiocracy” has become a documentary in our absurd times, so has “Wag the Dog.” The military industrial complex with its Hollywood-like allies producing endless narratives to keep the gravy train rolling…

P.S. if anyone believes this whole insane and hysterical anti-North Korea narrative is not political…well I have a bridge in Brazoria, TX, to sell you…

“What's f**king annoying is that a lot of good people believe the CIA shit…”

Ukrainian forces should attack North Korean soldiers “if they cross into Ukraine,” US President Joe Biden has said, commenting on allegations that Pyongyang has sent troops to be deployed alongside the Russian military.

The Pentagon claimed this week that some 10,000 soldiers from North Korea have arrived in Russia. Some are allegedly being transported for possible deployment against Ukrainian troops in Russia’s Kursk Region, where sections of Kiev’s forces remain after staging an incursion in August.

When asked by the media on Tuesday whether Kiev should “strike back” against North Korean troops, Biden responded: “If they cross into Ukraine, yes.” He did not clarify the US position should the troops remain inside what Washington recognizes as Russian territory.

Moscow and Pyongyang signed a bilateral treaty earlier this year which provides for mutual military the event of an attack by a third party. Russian President Vladimir Putin has declined to confirm or deny reports of the presence of North Korean troops in Russia. What the two nations do to meet their obligations under the new agreement is between them alone, he said in an interview last week.

In the past several months, Ukrainian forces have suffered a series of setbacks on the battlefield. Some military analysts have suggested that Kiev’s decision to send troops across the border into Kursk instead of reinforcing units in the east has contributed to the perilous situation.

Ukrainian General Dmitry Marchenko warned in an interview this week that the frontline was “collapsing” and blamed poor military leadership. The army is also suffering from a shortage of munitions and exhaustion of troops deployed in the war zone, he added.

Kiev intends to deal with its shortage of manpower by drafting an additional 160,000 soldiers over the next three months, according to officials. Earlier this year, the government overhauled the mandatory draft system, introducing harsher punishments for avoidance. Ukrainian MP Anna Skorokhod has assessed that the number of Ukrainian troops who have deserted or had gone AWOL is now over 100,000.

The Biden administration has pledged to help Kiev for “as long as it takes” to win. Moscow has called the conflict a US-led proxy war against Russia, in which Ukrainians serve as ‘cannon fodder’.

“It’s hard to do cartoons without ifs…”

         Gus Leonisky

 

 

On 30 January 2025, CNN carried a long, detailed article, accompanied by photographs entitled Suicidal tendencies and ’80s battlefield tactics: How North Korean soldiers are operating in Russia’s war on Ukraine. The article, by a team led by senior journalists Nick Paton Walsh and Rebecca Wright, offered an insight into “the brutal and near-suicidal tactics of North Korean soldiers” fighting the Ukrainian incursion into the Russian Kursk region. 

We are told of the Koreans’ blind disregard for their safety and lives, and blind loyalty to their leader:

Detonating a grenade under the chin rather than being captured. Using a fellow soldier to lure out attack drones. Removing body armour plates and helmets to enable faster attacks on foot. Writing pledges of allegiance to North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.

All so typical of Asiatics and yet further confirmation of what General Westmoreland, Commander of US forces in Vietnam, told us 50 years ago:

The Oriental doesn’t put the same high price on life as does a Westerner. Life is plentiful. Life is cheap in the Orient.

Cynics might argue that Westmoreland said that to excuse his destruction of so many Vietnamese lives, just as cynics suggest that the frequent Ukrainian claim that North Korean soldiers blow themselves up rather than being captured is an excuse for not having any PoWs to show the world. Except, that is, for the two soldiers captured in early January – the ‘Tuva Two’, of which more in a moment.

The CNN reporters were at pains to tell us that their article was very authoritative:

CNN has gained a rare insight into the world of North Korean troops fighting for Russia in interviews with Ukrainian special operations forces who told CNN the North Koreans they faced in intense fighting did not surrender.

So, a straight from the horse’s mouth, no holds barred description of what is happening at this moment in the forests of Kursk.

Except that on the following day CNN unblushingly reported that:

“The presence of DPRK troops has not been observed for about three weeks, and they were probably forced to withdraw after suffering heavy losses,” a spokesperson for the Ukrainian military’s Special Operations Forces, Colonel Oleksandr Kindratenko, told CNN.

In fact, according to this spokesman from Ukrainian Special Forces, troops from the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or North Korea) had not been blowing themselves up in Kursk for some weeks despite the previous day’s reports by fellow officers of the Special Forces.

A generous interpretation would be that officers who regaled CNN for the article on 30 January with lurid stories had been telling the unvarnished truth, but somehow forgot to mention that it had happened at least some weeks earlier and that currently there were no North Korean troops on the battlefield. Cynics, however, might suggest that these officers were part of a unit of Ukrainian Military Intelligence (GUR) tasked with liaising with foreign media, feeding them a narrative which may have little relationship to reality.

The story of the North Koreans’ disappearance — or withdrawal as official spokespeople like to say — was first broken by the New York Times on 30 January. But the NYT also had an “authoritative” report on 22 January which made no mention that what they were reporting had taken place weeks previously. It would seem that the American journalists were under the impression that they were being given a description of current, continuing events:

The New York Times spoke to a dozen Ukrainian soldiers and commanders who are engaged in direct combat with North Korean soldiers, as well as four US defence officials and military analysts, to put together a portrait of how the North Koreans operate on the battlefield. The Times also viewed video of North Korean assaults provided by the Ukrainian military. [emphasis added]

Newsweek did break the story of withdrawal on 31 January, but the Washington Post, at the time of writing, has yet to report the disappearance. The Post is not alone in its ignorance; President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos on 16 January had either not been informed of Ukraine’s great victory, or was lying. According to him:

Let’s not forget – there’s no ocean separating European countries from Russia. And European leaders should remember this – battles involving North Korean soldiers are now happening in places geographically closer to Davos than to Pyongyang. [emphasis added]

And he warned that:

Russia is turning into a version of North Korea – a country where human life means nothing, but they have nuclear weapons and a burning desire to make their neighbours’ lives miserable.

Not merely is Zelenskyy channelling Westmoreland, but he is reiterating a common meme in Ukraine that Russians are really barbaric Asiatics. This is a view shared by Ukraine’s sponsors such as Carl Bildt, the co-chair of the European Council on Foreign Relations, and former prime minister and foreign minister of Sweden, when addressing the question What if Russia Wins?

Moscow would trade its medieval Mongol yoke for a 21st-century Chinese one – and be seriously left behind as the rest of the world enters a new green and digital age.

It seems that no one has told Bildt that China is leading the green transformation.

Of course, many citizens of the Russian Federation are Asian, which brings us back to the Tuva Two captured by Ukrainian Special Forces about the time or even after the North Korean “withdrawal”. Despite one of the soldiers having a military ID card issued by the Republic of Tuva, a constituent part of the Russia Federation located near Mongolia, the Ukrainians insisted they were in fact North Koreans and produced photos, video and documents to “prove” it.

Curiously, no one other than Ukrainian Special Forces, and Ukrainian military intelligence has publicly actually had any physical contact with these prisoners – apart from members of the South Korean National Intelligence Service (NIS, the former Korean CIA) who presumably furnished the Korean part of the evidence. Crucially, there appear to be no reports in the Western media of any journalists meeting these “North Korean” PoWs. Significantly, that includes journalists of Korean ethnicity, such as Choe Sang-hun of the New York Times.

So, is this story about 12,500 North Koreans fighting in Kursk, with huge casualties, fake news? Have they disappeared or were they never there in such numbers and it is merely the narrative that has changed? It is impossible to be certain. It is likely that North Korea has a military contingent in Kursk as participant observers, studying what is the most important and transformational war since 1945, just as there are innumerable reports of Western military in Ukraine. In the meantime, both Russia and North Korea have a policy, much favoured by the US, of “strategic ambiguity” — neither confirm nor deny — or, “keep the other side guessing”.

We talk of the “fog of war” not merely because it is extremely difficult, perhaps impossible, to get a clear idea of what is going on in the inevitable organised chaos of war. However, it is important to remember that deception is an extremely important component of warfare.

The “North Korean entry into the Ukraine war” was the reason given by Biden to justify authorisation of the use of US missiles to strike deep into Russia. That was part of Ukraine’s constant and necessary strategy to draw the US (and NATO) into direct involvement in the war.

Now times have changed and with it the narrative. It is very strange that it has been altered retrospectively, thus discrediting the earlier version. It is surely no coincidence that this change has happened in the same month that Trump returned to the presidency. Trump appears and the North Koreans disappear. How this fits in with Trump’s bizarre, incoherent and unpredictable strategy is as yet unclear.

The fog is thickened by a recent report that Kyrylo Budanov, commander of Military Intelligence, claims that “North Koreans are still fighting on the front lines in Kursk, but at a reduced capacity”, thus deliberately contradicting Oleksandr Kindratenko of Special Operations Forces. Special Operations were part of Military Intelligence, which comes under the Ministry of Defence, but were hived off into the Ukrainian Armed Forces in 2016. The conflicting claims over the narrative may be a reflection of the rivalry between them on how best to handle the all-important relationship with American sponsors in Trump’s Washington.
