Last week, South Korean state media sounded the alarm that North Korea was maneuvering thousands of servicemen to support Russia in its operations in Ukraine, with South Korean officials threatening to send their own troops and weapons to Ukraine to counter this threat along with yet another potential resupply from NATO.
President Joe Biden recently remarked, “It’s very dangerous, very dangerous,” referring to the presence of North Korean soldiers aiding Russia.
U.S. intelligence and NATO are currently claiming that around 10,000 North Koreans are in Russia and may be used to fight on the frontlines and/or operate some of Russia’s weaponry systems.
Yesterday, Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh held an off-camera press conference answering questions from reporters, and she was asked a number of questions related to the purported presence of North Korea in Russia.
In her opening remarks, Singh stated: “Should DPRK soldiers be used on the battlefield, this would mark a further escalation and highlights President Putin’s increasing desperation as Russia has suffered extraordinary casualties on the battlefield, and an indication that Putin may be in more trouble than people realize. This move would have serious implications for Europe and Indo-Pacific security as well.”
Singh basically confirmed that it is fair game for Ukraine to use American weapons to target North Korean soldiers. A press reporter asked, “Let’s say U.S. weapons are used to kill North Korean soldiers and that could have far reaching implications. […] will you have limits on what US weapons can be used if it’s a bunch of North Korean soldiers?”
Singh replied,
No. I think I mentioned this on Thursday and the secretary has said this as well — If North Korea — if we see DPRK troops moving in and towards the front lines, I mean, they are co-belligerents in the war. And so, they are fighting on these front lines and the Ukrainians are defending their sovereign territory and pushing the Russians back.
So, this is a calculation that North Korea has to make. They are sending their soldiers in into a war where we’re seeing, you know, Russian casualties and losses, you know, upwards of 500,000 at this point. That is a calculation that, you know, DPRK leadership is making to send their soldiers into combat.
But they would — if they are in combat, you know, they’re fighting the Ukrainians, who are fighting for their sovereign territory. And we’ve made a commitment to Ukraine that we’re going to continue to support them with whatever it takes.
Another reporter later queried Singh, asking, “It may have been a calculated move not to send North Koreans into Ukraine but have them fight on Russian soil. Does that change the calculus at all? Are they still fair game if they’re fighting inside Russia rather than inside Ukraine?”
Singh responded, “Well, they’d be fighting along the border.” But the reporter challenged this and said, “But they’d be on Russian soil, not inside Ukraine.” Singh said, “I think what John Kirby said still stands.” Pentagon spokesperson, Admiral John Kirby has previously stated that it is “fair game” to strike North Koreans if they are involved in operations with Russia.
For clarification, the reporter asked Singh, “No matter where they’re fighting?” To which the Press Secretary replied, “Yep.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
I suppose this was already a no-brainer and to be expected, but just to hear confirmation of this formality speaks to just how corrupt and bloodthirsty these warmongers, as well as other actors (and more aptly private interests and central banks, and the Vatican) push the world into a new global conflict; which will not only result in the expected goal of slowing down population growth, but also justify the transition into multipolarity and a new, total digital financial system; and if it means more blood has to be spilled then so be it, they say.
Mark 13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
