  • weaponry provided by Moscow, including AK-12 rifles, RPG-7s, and night vision equipment.

    Did they get any bullets though?

    • For a meat wave? Hell no?

      Kim probably kept swinging his dick that if troops in Ukraine were North Korean the war would already be over. Putin probably said "sure, have at it".

      Not in Putins best interest to be humiliated by NK. So they are gonna be shit and probably call artillery strike on themselves "by accident".
