Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Isn't this an unverified claim? DPRK denied it IIRC, and I haven't seen hard proof yet

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 31 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Article says they're gonna be releasing a bunch of evidence soon

But like many Americans I don't really give a shit? Got enough to worry about around here. I just want that damn war over and more importantly than anything for arms transfers to Israel to stop

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We will see, I don't doubt it, there's good reason for the DPRK to want combat experience and to maintain good ties with the Russian Federation, but I had also heard that it isn't yet verified.

Personally i think they send observers for the experience and info about modern drone warfare which is something nato has also done

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

That makes a lot of sense.

If true Ukraine has 48 hours left before total defeat, shall I remind you that the average North Korean pull the trains that stopped midway on a daily basis, imagine what soldiers can do

Ukrainians watching a Juche super soldier unit run together at 40 km/h and jump over his abrams tank with one of them holding the turret and the others holding the tracks, then for them to let go except the one holding the turret then he lifts it up and spins around then tosses it at an f16

Pictured: average juche supersoldier grabs fistful of electricity from the nearby high voltage line and smashes it into the Abrams tank, 2025, colourised

[–] Bisexual_Cookie@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

north and south ukraine

There’s the old trope of the contents of a story contradicting the headline, but this is the first time I’ve seen the headline and subheadline contradict each other.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago

I guess the call has gone out to activate all US client states to maximum aggressive posture for simultaneous global proxy wars against multipolarity.

it's election season, yank all the chains and rattle all the cages!

Sounds like some bullshit to me. Until Russia or DPRK makes an announcement about it I'm not going to believe it.

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think there's been any proof that they are anywhere near Ukraine, but there was that one geolocated video of North Koreans in Russia, about 70 miles from the NK border.

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

This is probably not true but I hope it is.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Hope they bag some banderite ass

[–] Finger@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

no more half measures walter

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Every time they put out these photos of the close swarm of camo DPRK it reminds me of the Guitar Army in Idiocracy.

[–] HexReplyBot@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

And still not a single shred of evidence

[–] coolusername@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I think they are there. I saw some videos on telegram. They probably want to give NK soldiers some combat experience somewhere relatively safe (Kursk). NK and Russia also recently signed some sorta military pact.
