North Korea sent troops to aid Russia not because of loyalty, but because it worked hard in exchange for food. Ten thousand soldiers, 30 million US dollars a month, all of which goes to Pyongyang. Pensions for those killed in battle were paid, but they couldn't come back. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has been raging for more than three years, and the front line has long become a "human-swallowing machine." In 2025, the Russian military shortage will exceed 200,000, and the domestic labor shortage will soar to 4.8 million. Even factories in Siberia cannot recruit workers to start work.
Explode! North Korean soldiers actually appeared on the battlefield of Russia and Ukraine. What is the truth behind it?
North Korean soldiers set foot on Russian soil thousands of miles away, not on a tour or an exercise, but on the battlefield. In August last year, Kim Jong-un gave an order, and the elite of the People's Army quietly went to the Kursk region to participate in the war against Ukraine.
When the news comes out, the world is upset.But if you think that this is just “allied help,” it is too naive.Behind this, are two nations forced to the world’s corner, delivering each other’s knife in the abyss, and also delivering each other’s bowl of death game.
In fact, Russia is really lacking.
Thousands of people are killed on the frontline every day, the number of soldiers dropped from 400,000 to 28,000, and the number of recruits until the age of 30 is not enough.The military factory machines are bombarded, and half of the cannon can be imported, and by the second quarter of 2025, half of the ammunition will be supplied by North Korea.
This is not an exaggeration, it is reality. Western sanctions have cut off its supply chain, domestic daily necessities have risen in price, ordinary people have begun to complain, and the war machine is almost no longer moving.
It needs people to fill the front, it needs ammunition to maintain its firepower, and it needs a stable back – and North Korea can give it.
Looking at North Korea, life is not much better. In 2023, the annual export will only be US $330 million, the foreign debt is overwhelming, the food gap is as high as 1 million tons, and 8.7 million people are waiting for relief food to survive. But since getting online with Russia, the situation has changed immediately.
Monthly troops can earn tens of millions of dollars, and it is expected that by 2025 weapons sales and labor revenue will be 6 billion, of which 90 percent will be used to improve people's livelihoods.Russia has also thrown out 2 million tons of food, more than 2 million barrels of oil, and even mineral development rights.
What happened? There are fewer people in line at Pyongyang's grain stores and sufficient heating in winter. Even the agricultural department predicts that grain output will increase by 12% this year. For ordinary people, this may be the most tangible "good news" in recent years.
So you see, this is a romantic story of "deep brotherhood". It is clearly two countries overwhelmed by sanctions, touching each other's faces in the dark to confirm that "you are still alive".
As in the years of Suvin exchanging prisoners, a lack of food, a lack of people, prisoners of war became the labor force to rebuild the country; and like in the end of the "United Russia regime day", the weak country has no way to go, only to use the strong power to strive for a line of vitality; look at today's Venezuela and Cuba, a oil out, a doctor out, devised the "oil exchange medicine" survival model, hard under the eyes of the United States survived.
And this "trade" between the Russian dynasty has long been not just a political expression.
North Korea sent out soldiers, namely “labour personnel”, “technical support”, but everyone knows that they do the most dangerous job. The first 120,000 disguised as Siberian workers, followed by another 6,000 combat workers, each month can send back foreign currency to the home. For those families, this money can buy rice, heat, and get the children to school.
This reminds people of the Chinese family of the time of anti-American aid, while looking forward to the prize, while fearful of the death notice. war is never just a state affair, it is on the shoulders of every ordinary person, sinking and breathing.
Of course, there are people who scream that it’s too inhumane to exchange resources for life, but the question is, what would you choose if you were standing in Pyongyang’s office and faced with a table full of hunger reports and sanctions lists?
Without cooperation, domestic confusion may first arise; cooperation can at least be replaced with a meal.
This is not a moral choice, it is a survival choice. It's like a poor family who knows that it is risky for their children to work in mines, but can only nod in order to prevent the whole family from starving to death. International politics is often so cold. There are not so many "shoulds" but only "must-have".
Even more alarming is the fact that this "armor" is becoming the new norm in the sanctioned countries. The more you block, the more they cling to the "non-Western system".
After all, Russian-Russian cooperation is not the rise of a “military alliance”, but a survival experiment forced out.
In this world, not all countries are qualified to talk about ideals. Some countries have done their best to survive. We may not agree with their approach, but at least we can try to understand that in desperate situations, every choice is to prevent the land under our feet from sinking completely.
