Why is, again, the Gaurdian giving column space to this disingenuous and cowardly wanker?

Britain being Britain, it has nothing to do with the Grauniad trying to be objective and balanced (that’s an American thing) and probably has a lot to do with his having gone to high school or university with one of the senior editors or executives. Or maybe one of them was his pal at another paper.

In response to that Pyongyang announced early this week that it will be sending troops in the form of a military engineering unit to support Russian forces on the ground in the Donetsk region. The troops are expected to arrive on the battlefield as soon as next month.

I can’t find anything to corroborate this news except for a question asked to Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder.

Q: A quick follow-up – North Korea’s Central Military Commission announced that North Korea would join forces with the Russian military. And as part of the North Korea and Russia military alliance, the North Korean Army engineer unit would be dispatched to Donetsk, Ukraine, which remains occupied by Russia. It will be dispatched as early as next month. How do you assess about the rapid situation in which North Korea and Russia are moving toward Ukraine?

ETA: It might arise from someone misunderstanding suggestions that North Korea could send construction workers to Russian-occupied Ukraine.

And yet, cowards and liars and callow lickspittles in the West pretend that a “peace” on Russian terms in Ukraine would somehow end the genocidal killing and raping and looting.
