    Or they are native Siberian Russians who watched their fair share of videos from the war and know what it means to be injured and have a Ukrainian drone flying directly above you.

    What kind of face do you think this NAFOid keyboard warrior would make if he was in their shoes?

      I dunno but I know I'd react like I'd been inserted into the flash-forward scenes from the Terminator franchise, without all the battlehardening and survivorship bias the characters in the movies have been through. I'd be fucking terrified and have a flight or freeze response. Then I would die.

      Edit: actually I changed my mind

      They'd totally do the wojack soyface. Then they would die.

    I once read a Yitzkor book written by a jew that had been enslaved during WW2 on a kulak nazi collaborator's farm in Nazi occupied Ukraine. One day he saw a Soviet military plane fly over the farm. I want to emphasize that this was in the 1940s Stalinist USSR, not even the 1950s Stalinist USSR referenced by this guy. Even in the allegedly backward Soviet Union, seeing this plane was only noteworthy to this jew because it meant help was coming soon. Seeing a flying machine didn't cause him to panic like a superstitious American.

    Some days later he could hear artillery in the distance. He knew he would probably live long enough to be liberated, unlike his son and several other jewish slaves who's corpses were piled by the barn.

    As the Soviets got closer, and liberation was imminent, the kulak farmer begged this jew to tell the Soviets he had been kind to his slaves.

    The Soviets finally arrived, and he was freed from the misery, death, and destruction brought to him by a supposedly advanced (and absolutely not barbaric) western society.

    I don't think he testified on behalf of his former owner. He didn't say, but I don't think it had to be said. There was probably no trial anyway. I'm guessing justice was swift.

    In conclusion, this random internet guy that got me worked up should take Stalin's name out of his mouth.

    Has there been any actual evidence of DPRK soldiers fighting in Ukraine?

      They are most likely fighting in Kursk, which is in Russia. Coming to the aid of a military ally within their own borders is completely legal within all international law, DPRK and Russia are well within their rights

          I don't believe either party has denied it, and the official propagandists for Russia play coy about it like they did with Iranian drone purchases. It's almost a certainty at this point that Russian procured thousands of drones from Iran, including adopting some of their drone technology.

          I don't believe the western media bullshit about their numbers, but I do think there are some volunteer forces in Kursk gaining drone combat experience. Official Ukrainian MoD are saying they are for sure fighting DPRK soldiers in Kursk, and while they are known liars it's a bit different than the CIA tabloid crap we've previously heard it from.

            The Russian Geran-2 one way attack drone is a Russian produced version of the Iranian Shahed 136, with the electronics and guidance system stripped out and replaced with Russian components, and it's used in pretty much every Russian air raid, so yes.

    Drones were used in WW2 via radio wave or wires. These guys aren't from the DPRK but if Kim Il Sung and the entire Korean People's army of the 1950s time travelled to right now, you could probably catch them up on drones in an afternoon.

      Even then, most of the afternoon would just be looking up the Korean translation of "remote-controlled plane".

    Wars being thoroughly documented on social media has turned out to be a double-edged sword.

    One on hand, there’s way more proof of all the war crimes and atrocities being commited, readily available for anyone with a few clicks, which also makes it easier to refute propagandist narratives from jingoistic governments and their media lackeys.

    On the other hand, there is now an entire generation of spoiled douchebags that very much enjoys watching footage of human beings being brutally killed, ending up with completely dulled empathy, which this post is demonstrating quite well.

    Because no shit are soldiers staring at drones coming at them. They’re not seeing ghost. They’re seeing the very thing that’s about to end their life. What kind of person wouldn’t be horrified by that sight?

    Oh just the kill bots approaching. It’s easier to ignore the existential dread and play some candy king.
