This Story Of North Korea Selling The Services of 100,000 Soldiers to Putin?

 Well....it's been around for about 48 hours on various German news sites.  On the BS-meter, I'd rate it a '5'.

I do believe that Putin's folks have been in NK, and talked.  I also believe that Putin probably offered some deal (oil or natural gas) for tanks and rockets.  On the idea of selling 100,000 North Korean soldiers to be brought into the front, for Russia.....maybe they talked about it, but I just can't see this as being a wise idea.

If the 100,000 arrived....within 24 hours....they'd stand there in amazement.  Indoor toilets.....fat people with plenty of food....booze on every street corner.....having a capable Ukrainian army launching missiles, and missing out on training that should have occurred before the arrival.

So no.....maybe you will see a vessel picking up 300 North Korean tanks (1970s vintage) and hauling them all the way to the Black Sea (probably six weeks into the future).  But there's no 100,000 Koreans heading off to the war.
