North Korean troops in Russian uniforms heading to Kursk, says US - Lemmy.World
lemmy.worldNorth Korean troops wearing Russian uniforms and carrying Russian equipment are
moving to the Russian region of Kursk, near Ukraine, according to the US defence
secretary, Lloyd Austin, who described the deployment as a dangerous and
destabilising development. Austin was speaking at a press conference at the
Pentagon with the South Korean defence minister, Kim Yong-hyun, as concerns grow
about Pyongyang’s deployment of as many as 11,000 troops to Russia. The US and
South Korea said some of the North Korean troops are heading to Kursk, on the
border with Ukraine, where the Kremlin’s forces have struggled to push back a
Ukrainian incursion. Austin said “the likelihood is pretty high” that Russia
will use the North Korean troops in combat. He added that officials were
discussing what to do about the deployment, which he said had the potential to
broaden or lengthen the conflict in Ukraine. Asked if it could prompt other
nations to get more directly involved in the conflict, he acknowledged that it
could “encourage others to take action”. MBFC

Actually: I changed my mind. I’m going to give this a real response.
I didn’t treat you like a child. I explained what was going on, and you seem to have a mentality where someone who’s explaining something to you that you don’t know is “treating you like a child” or “being a pedantic asshole.”
That’s entirely on you. Most people, once they reach adulthood, are able to listen to something even if they don’t already know it, able to learn from the world. I was a little bit snarky talking to you initially, but then I felt bad when I realized you just didn’t know how Wikipedia worked, and were operating on some bad assumptions, but what you were thinking made actually perfect logical sense. Go back and read my “Got it, that does make sense” message. I read your message, I got where you were coming from, and like I said, I realized you just didn’t know something, and I tried to help you understand it.
You have to let go of that mentality where someone who’s telling you something you didn’t already know is offensive, and you have to try to seize the upper hand and try to explain something back to them, or decide they’re being a jerk or something or it needs to be a hostile interaction. That’s going to make it impossible for you to learn. It also makes a lot of interactions more stressful than they need to be.
I realize that this whole message is explaining more stuff to you, which you probably won’t react well to. But like I said, that’s on you. If you were willing to absorb this, it would help you.
