The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

My guess is that, coming from such a straitjacketed society,

But they are enjoying their unrestricted access to the internet.

newsweek.com - North korean troops russia ukraine war gorging pornography

North Korean soldiers who have deployed to Russia have never had unfettered access to the internet before. As a result, they are gorging on pornography.

And they're becoming cannon fodder.

en.defence-ua.com - Ukrainian warriors have eliminated elite north korean soldiers in the kursk region

He [a NK soldier who survived an attack] claims they were initially told they would be guarding infrastructure, but instead, they were betrayed and sent on assault missions in the Kursk region.

"The russians provided us with nothing," he continued. "They sent us into an assault without prior reconnaissance, without ammunition, without adequate weapons."

I wonder how many will surrender and then ask to defect to South Korea. Family left behind may be the only thing keeping many from doing that.
