NK troops will fight just to stay alive.

I wouldn’t be surprise if they are sent to get a real exposure to a battlefield and then use it back home.

They could be used to guard the equipment sent to the frontline.

I would be very surprised if they are sent to fight the Ukrainian. This would have a very big impact on the military strategy of NATO

Young North Korean Soldiers Expected To Be Butchered; High Casualties Expected

North Korean troops sent to Russia may be pleased to be there, even as they face ferocious fighting

The thousands of young soldiers North Korea has sent to Russia, reportedly to help fight against Ukraine, include many elite special forces, but that hasn't stopped speculation they'll be slaughtered because they have no combat experience, no familiarity with the terrain and will likely be...

What should have happened is a united Europe should have sent in troops to Ukraine and sent Russia packing.
They have more than enough fire power and Russia wouldn’t start a nuclear war in its own backyard.

This shouldn’t be a US fight a united Europe should once and for all keep Russian aggression in check with the full force available to them.
Russia would have backed off and run home.

I agree and I find deeply offensive (as do many Americans) the notion (by some Canadians and foreigners) that the US is the world's policeman with a moral duty to intervene, despite not getting paid by any foreign governments in taxes or remunerations for doing so. This seems to have been a lingering mentality since WWII which, until Pearl Harbor occurred, many American leaders did not want to enter.

That being said, at the outset of this conflict my personal belief was that the US should intervene and assist Ukraine in defending itself against Russian aggression. I was not wild about the idea of assisting Ukraine in offensive operations. However, in this case, based on what I have read, the lines between defense and offense are somewhat blurred. This is not like hockey or football or soccer where one team is distinctly on offense and the other is on defense when in one team's defensive zone.

The Russian economy is so dependent on the war that it can neither win nor lose. The war just needs to keep going:

Russia's economy is so driven by the war in Ukraine that it cannot afford to either win or lose, economist says

"A protracted stalemate might be the only solution for Russia to avoid total economic collapse," one economist says.
