DEEP DIVE — North Korea’s deployment of hundreds of troops to Russia – presumably to be used within the conflict towards Ukraine – has shocked policymakers and consultants around the globe. Even those that have been already sounding the alarm over the North’s navy support to Moscow.
U.S. Protection Secretary Lloyd Austin, in Rome for a NATO protection ministers assembly, confirmed the bombshell Wednesday. “There may be proof that there are DPRK troops in Russia,” Austin stated, utilizing the acronym for Democratic Individuals’s Republic of Korea. He referred to as the deployment “very, very severe.”
