Isn't it better for Russia if Koreans die instead of Russians? It looks rational (but sad for Koreans dying in a war on the other side of the globe).
- ponector 2y agoFrom Russian perspective it doesn't matter because they value Korean life the same: zero. Koreans are expensive, though. God knows what putin is trading for their troops. Probably rocket and nuclear technologies. From military perspective Koreans are useless cannon fodder for to the language barrier and unaware of modern combat full with FPV drones.

NK will also provide artillery shells. > From military perspective Koreans are useless cannon fodder Well, that's the soviet doctrine. Men are useless cannon fodder. It does give the NK the chance to catch up on modern combat.
