North Korean troops in Russian uniforms heading to Kursk, says US - Lemmy.World
lemmy.worldNorth Korean troops wearing Russian uniforms and carrying Russian equipment are
moving to the Russian region of Kursk, near Ukraine, according to the US defence
secretary, Lloyd Austin, who described the deployment as a dangerous and
destabilising development. Austin was speaking at a press conference at the
Pentagon with the South Korean defence minister, Kim Yong-hyun, as concerns grow
about Pyongyang’s deployment of as many as 11,000 troops to Russia. The US and
South Korea said some of the North Korean troops are heading to Kursk, on the
border with Ukraine, where the Kremlin’s forces have struggled to push back a
Ukrainian incursion. Austin said “the likelihood is pretty high” that Russia
will use the North Korean troops in combat. He added that officials were
discussing what to do about the deployment, which he said had the potential to
broaden or lengthen the conflict in Ukraine. Asked if it could prompt other
nations to get more directly involved in the conflict, he acknowledged that it
could “encourage others to take action”. MBFC

Interestingly enough, Wikipedia’s sourcing list counts Wikipedia as unreliable. It says you need to find information somewhere else so as not to create a self-referential loop. You have to justify it from a solid source that’s outside the system.
MBFC says that MBFC is incredibly reliable, and incidentally also tends to mark sources down if their biases don’t agree with MBFC’s existing biases, which are significant. It needs no outside sources, because it’s already reliable.
Good stuff.
