Trenches of Brotherhood: Russia and North Korea Redefined Alliances

Click to see full-size image

In a historic move confirming months of speculation, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has officially acknowledged the deployment of Korean People’s Army (KPA) troops to Russia’s Kursk region, where they participated in combat operations against Ukrainian forces. The announcement, made through the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), frames the intervention as a fulfillment of the Russia-DPRK mutual defense pact signed earlier this year.

According to KCNA, North Korean soldiers were sent to Kursk to help repel “neo-Nazi Ukrainian invasion” backed by the West. The report highlights that in August 2024, Ukrainian forces equipped with modern Western weapons launched a large-scale incursion, occupying over 1,200 square kilometers of Russian territory and committing atrocities against civilians.

Kim Jong Un declared the intervention a “sacred duty” to uphold the “traditional friendship” between Pyongyang and Moscow. He also announced plans to erect a memorial in Pyongyang honoring North Korean soldiers who fell in battle, which is a tacit admission of combat losses.

 

 

North Korean fighters on training grounds and in battles:

 

 

While operational details remain scarce, the Russian military shared footage showing North Korean soldiers training at Russian bases before deployment. The clips reveal drills in urban combat, drone defense, and small-unit tactics, suggesting they were prepped for the asymmetric warfare seen in Kursk.

North Korean troops accustomed to harsh conditions and rigid discipline may have been used in high-risk assault roles, particularly in clearing fortified Ukrainian positions. Their presence also served a psychological purpose, demonstrating Russia’s ability to mobilize unconventional allies despite Western sanctions. In the case of escalation or deployment of any NATO troops in Ukraine, Moscow has an experienced, combat ready ally to respond.

The deployment carries far-reaching implications. The move cements the Russia-DPRK alliance, complicating Western efforts to isolate Moscow. Any attack on North Korea now risks drawing Russia into conflict. Notably, Western warmongers have downplayed North Korea’s involvement, assured that their efforts had isolated, but now Moscow has a battle-tested ally.

so… 10 thousand (ukraine claims) dprk soldiers eliminated over 60 thousand nato-trained troops. quite impressive. and quite legal, not one dprk soldier set foot in ukraine, they operated entirely within kursk region, inside russia’s internationally-recognized borders…

the first casualty of war is the truth …. and let’s be honest it’s scarce as hens teeth during peace .

the logic of the rules based order seems to say helping the agressor in any way is participating in the war and making themselves a legitimat target. they are allready hoping for a south korean involvement to answer it. at the same time the same rules will never be apllied to wars where the west or their friends are the agressors.

hehe nato 5th rate military. can’t even beat afghanistan and too chicken and coward to put boots on the ground in ukraine. north korea defeated nato and allies in 1953, nk troops are tough and tenacious, not like wimpy nato troops.

the antagonists of the dark empire forces are joining together… usa empire is always pretending to be the good ones and eliminate everyone who doesn’t agree with the view of the empire, follow the sentence “usa empire of the exceptionals are the good ones always no matter what” or the empire would label you “evil” and need to be disposable.

i hope russia is as faithful and true to their allies as north korea has been with them. the north koreans are definitely more reliable than the syrian arab army ever was.

note how russia are not even anticipating sanctions relief as part of the peace deal. yet trump was thinking of dangling it like a carrot for leverage…didn’t work. russia has all the cards on the table…now that kursk is gone…so what??
