      From their own strategic point of view, it’s probably not the worst idea to have real world fighting experience in their ranks.

      The only person who cares less for those soldiers lives than putin is his new buddy

      Makes sense. There’s a lot of potential benefit for Kim in the deal when you consider the loss of life is not particularly of concern to him. Additional access to Russian tech plus NK relies on fear to keep the population in control so this allows him to push a narrative that NK is in a war time situation and needs to be even more nationalistic.

      A perfect solution to get some rid off some excess mouths needing food and shelter.

      North Korea is dabbling in being a provider of forces for hire. Kim is trying to diversify income using one of the few excess resources he has. Solves their excess mouths to feed problem while providing a revenue stream.

      Got an insurrection on your hands? I have troops. Need a palace guard with no ties to your own population and no qualms about opening fire on your people? I can help with that…For money.

      This is him testing the waters while getting a very good deal. If it works out he’ll have created a neat little market for himself among tin pot dictators everywhere.

      Of course, to have less mouths to feed and train. And anyone who returns with limbs intact has actual combat experience and will be more useful.

      Well they haven’t had any real combat experience for over half a century and were using 80+ year old tactics, this is a crash course in modern combat for them as well as an opportunity to get resources from Russia.

      I’m suspect any of these guys aside from maybe some of the higher ranking guys are ever coming home. I doubt Kim wants them running around the country poor as shit telling everyone about indoor plumbing.

      Makes sense they been trying to get Russian tech for a while now, I might be misremembering but I think a few years ago they were trying to buy a few Sukhois but couldn’t due to sanctions.

      Combat exp for survivors and commanders behind lines, access to russian missile know how & potential tech? All that for a few thousand low value eaters? That’s a win for Kim & I can see if he was eager to send troops

      It’s not fair that Ukraine has to fight the armies of two nations alone because western leaders are fucking pussies.
