The Russian soldiers talk disdainfully about the incoming North Korean soldiers, codenamed the “K Battalion,” at one point referring to them as “the f**king Chinese.”

if a shit force thinks another force is shit

I doubt the Russians speak Korean or the Koreans speak Russian. No idea if they know how to use each other's hardware. Very difficult to coordinate units with that kind of gap.

If Russian commanders take this as license to use Korean soldiers as cannon fodder, I imagine that will degrade the relationship between the two countries rapidly.

You never need to use the word "if" when talking about Russian commanders and cannon fodder.

Just "where" and "when".

Also “how many million?”

This whole war has been downright medieval with its disregard for human life. Russians stuffed into trenches to get obliterated by Ukrainian artillery. Ukrainians doing a Charge of the Light Brigade into Kursk only to be surrounded and slaughtered. Fucking nightmarish war. But its getting a lot of Slavs killed, which I guess is what everyone else in the world wants.

I personally played both sides to orchestrate this war just to improve the quality of my Counter Strike matches.

This shouldn’t be funny but I’m truly chuckling at this.
