      I wonder what the North Koreans think of Russia. Like did they arrive and think, “what a shithole”? You know Kim can’t have them seeing anything decent or they will defect.

      I’m glad I’m not the only one. It’s just some rebar, poorly covered in concrete. Like something a set designer would make for a cheap dystopian movie.

    I wonder if the language barrier will be an issue for these troops. Not sure how many norks speak Russian, but I’d imagine not many in the military would.

    I am flabbergasted that Russia has training grounds. This is not a joke. I thought they just put you in a green overall, give you a 60 year old gun in one hand and a bottle of vodka in the other. And that’s it. Off you go!

      I think they do jumping jacks at the train station before loading them onto cattle cars for the front.
