Summary

North Korea has deployed 10,000-12,000 troops to aid Russia in Ukraine’s Kursk region, marking a significant escalation in its alliance with Moscow.

    Not saying Ukraine isn’t a quagmire for Russia, but the US’s role in Vietnam bears little similarity to what NK is trying to accomplish in Ukraine. The US wasn’t licking France’s boot as a geopolitical move. This is 100% Kim Jung Un trying to get into Putin’s good graces.

            Ha! Touché. You are one with the memes.

            Digredior was a shit attempt at me trying to come up with the Latin word for destruction for a new WoW character I was making some around 15 years ago. I don’t know what stupid fucking translator I used, hit it essentially means, “I digress”. However, I’ve always liked how it sounded, so I’ve used it here and there for various alternate accounts on various platforms…
