    Why would Kim send his best troops to fight for Putin?

    If my ‘ally’ was pushing me to send forces, I’d clear out the brig and/or send the latrine orderlies who have been mouthing off, not the cream of the crop.

    It’s A Classic Wartime Tale, Saddam did the same thing with Iraq’s Elite Republican Guard 30+ years ago.

    They were supposed to be the top tier of Iraq’s forces and the US bombed them into the stone age with their opening salvo.

    Don’t mistake propaganda naming for anything other than it is. Dictator dick waving.
