Lots of western/NATO countries provide troops to fight in far away wars.

Keep double standards out of the debate

Not active duty. You'd feel us if we were there.

He must be one of those many "Russians of Asian origin" who are fighting, as the fascist Russia supporters keep insisting. Absolutely no North Koreans are fighting, they state.

Seriously, this NK chump is one of the lucky ones. His sucker comrades are being blown up and zipped up.

Sure. Really compelling evidence.

South Korea? Why not Ukraine? Is Kiev no longer trust worthy? The Ukrainian military just shut down DeepstateUA a pro Ukraine mapping site as they were being too honest.

"Where is the evidence" demand people who claim, every single day, without evidence, that Russia is "crushing" Ukraine.

They should be grateful to us; by engaging with them, we give them more chances to make posts and get rubles.

JT, your authors scrape out the crumbs of any information, reliable, false, whatever, just to demonstrate their Russophobia. It turns out clumsily...

"Russia has already requested detailed information from Kiev about the allegedly captured North Korean fighter.

According to sources, so far no confirmation has been provided that the prisoner has DPRK citizenship, but if it is confirmed that he is a military man from North Korea, "If there is any vague evidence or if there is none at all, the story promoted by Ukrainian propagandists will be ignored. After all, there are many volunteers from Asian countries (for example, Nepal) currently fighting on the side of the Russian Federation in their zone, and one of them may just be given out as a "captive Korean." At least some kind of "help" is needed for the new year, so they are trying," insiders say."

Not active duty? How quickly you forget the NATO mischief in Kosovo and Libya, to name just a couple of examples.

I saw two photos of "North Koreans" on the Internet. In one, he is lying with his face blured and with a Korean passport in focus. The second one is sitting by a third, who is apparently the hero who catched him. According to the second pic

The second photo was posted on Reddit back in February 2022. And here, one of two things, either they have a complete lack of verification of published materials, or this is purposeful misinformation aimed at their own audience, which has atrophied critical thinking.

Which one of the two is dead according BBC?

Lots of picture evidence if you care to check on the internet!
