I wonder whether the unusually high number of ##casualties in the #NorthKorea contingent on the #Ukraine front is only due to poor training & communication difficulties. Surely #defection must be high on the agenda, a literal #russianroulette for freedom. Having read about the latest 2 prisoners captured, seeing that 1 has expressed the wish to stay in Ukraine would point to a 50% defection rate (note: stay in Ukraine aka Europe, rather than go to #SouthKorea).
