Why would Putin let North Korean troops fight in Ukraine

The true value of their poorly trained and ill equipped soldiers in battle is probably incredibly low
It looks like a sign of weakness for Russia
It just doesn’t make sense

Fostering their relationship with a nuclear power

Cannon fodder isn’t worth looking weak
At least not for Russia
There has to be another game to it

Because why not? It was probably lil Kim’s idea. Kim was probably like hey…I could use this for Propaganda.

to give his troops a break in the madness!
throw some bodies out there to allow the Russians to get ready for the Winter!
Russia & Putin are on the right side of this & Putin has been preparing for a Harris win.
Now that DJT took over, i expect de-escalate of all wars now that the ADULTS ARE BACK IN CHARGE!
Russia had an agreement that NATO/UN/EU wouldn’t mount up on their doorstep with all their Wokism cancers, and the crooked/twisted WEST went across the line.
i don’t blame Putin one bit!
Trump will have a call with him, Rocket Man, Bibi, CHYYYNA etc.z
and say “Quit the bullshite”
Just sit back and soak it all in with real
leadership!

Darn good question and I will happily respond on what I have found to be the plausible response.
Why would NK send troops to Russia for the Ukraine conflict/
Battle experience and not much more its been 70+ years now since My Dad fought them in the Korean conflict and 40 since their little border skirmish with Red China.
NK wants to invade SK, so it's so bad it's mind-numbing.
FYI
that conflict never ended it's still going on just in a cease-fire along the DMZ.
They need combat leaders badly.

the war is now over. they need north korean troops to die and hold ground while the situation in america shakes out. just play defense from here with minimizing russian casualties.

It’s to show he can bring in foreign troops as well, expand it on his side too.
There’s been a lot of talk of bringing in more NATO troops, expanding their role.
He’s doing this to show he can expand it as well.
It’s also a secondary warning that he can expand North Korea’s nuclear weapons if we think about helping Ukraine with nuclear armament.

North Korea has more people than they can feed.
They have been sending men to Russia (mostly Siberia) for decades. These men cut lumber for almost no wages and the promise Russia will feed and house them (in run down shitty barracks). Russia doesn’t pay the workers they pay the North Korean government.
There is tradition of North Korean men going to Russia and doing jobs even the Russians don’t want.
My guess is it is cheaper for Russia to pay North Korea for the soldiers than they pay their own soldiers to fight in Ukraine.
Here is a YouTube link to a Vice Documentary about the work camps.

I think the NORKs wanted to get their boys some real battle experience and they asked if Putin would mind.

Pros: None Russian Cannon fodder so that he does not have to say that Russians are fighting on their own home land (this is in the Kursk region).
Cons: looks weak, may escalate war.
I personally think it’s a sloppy move that may have come out of necessity. I don’t think Putin would have made this move if he thought that Trump was likely to win. If he thought that the race was close, why wouldn’t he just wait? Likely there is a reason that causing it to be more urgent- meaning maybe Putin is receiving more pressure internally than we realize. That scares me because that is when people make mistakes.

I think it's probably British propaganda, and there's no truth to it. The Brits have been inventing stories like this for more than a century.

That would be myopic on his part because there are more than one party to nuclear armament in each situation, meaning that Ukraine can get expertise from several allies other than the US, while the US can also help build up South Korea.
I don't think that is his reasoning, given the supply realities at play.
Posted on 11/7/24 at 4:12 pm to Old Sarge
On another note# South Korea is very upset about this event and has pledged to send Ukraine long/intermediate missiles with logistical staff in response.
It's steadily escalating.

Not true. The north Korean workers have to pay 50% of their earnings to the NK government

Where's the proof that North Koreans are fighting in Ukraine? I saw one image that was shown to be fake, but nothing else.
Do you have proof? Honest question. If the answer is no, say "no"
