So Elpenor, you are now saying:
The Russian army is perhaps giving North Korean soldiers internationally enabled mobile phones.
As you are such a stickler for sources, go right ahead and post your source for that steaming pile of bollocks you're spouting.
No I fucking didn't, you bullshitter.

I thought you’d welcome a post made up of idle speculation as that was exactly what this post was:
also they are clearly aware of drones as there have been drone skirmishes with the south.
You said they don’t use mobile phones and I showed they do. So who’s the bullshitter now?

Ok, so you’re contending that despite mobile phones being commonplace in North Korea for several decades that they still don’t know how to use them.
You must have a very low opinion of their intelligence.

Where the fuck have I said they don't know how to use mobile phones?
Stop making shit up, man.
tbf, I've enjoyed your posts over the years, but on this you've been going down the TC route, and like him, are now being a clown that's not worth the fucking effort. Shame, but will treat you as I do him. ta-ta.

Of course there are other groups favouring Russia, I never said it was exclusively Tankies at all.
It's not anti-imperialism either, they are absolutely fine with Russian imperialism past and present and that makes them Tankies.

FYI: less than a quarter of the North Korean population owns a mobile phone.

FYI: the article I linked to says that the number is actually around 80%
Either way still a lot higher than “none”

Widespread use of mobiles and an over reliance on the internet, plus the growing influence of AI ... maybe the DPRK is lucky, in some ways, not to avail of all this

Nearly a quarter of North Koreans own mobile phones
An estimated six million North Koreans have cellular phones as of 2021, a recently published report by a state-run think-tank said, indicating a wave of change among the people living under the oppressive regime.

Er yes you did that is exactly what you did write
Which by your reckoning makes Islamists tankies, it makes some nationalists tankies.
Which is why I put 'anti-imperialism' in quote marks, and no a lot of them are not tankies - which does not mean that their politics are not crap nor dangerous.
This is as stupid as your nonsense that Corbyn won because of 'Trots'.

I can't even think of a metaphor for the turn this thread has taken - who gives a fuck if 1%, 25%, or 100% of North Koreans have some kind of People's Brick mobile phone? If there are any North Koreans wth the skills to pilot drones or whatever, would Kim Jong Un risk depleting their ranks?
North Korea is undeniably a dictatorship so extreme that it seems like a broad-stroke parody of dictatorships, its people are starving to death, and anybody who claims that Western media is deliberately misrepresenting what is really a workers' paradise is a conspiracy theorist at a level that even Alex Jones might think twice about.
The percentages to think about here is that 0% of North Korean soldiers are volunteers and Putin is 100% desperate to be deploying them in the first place

The most important point about North Korean troops isn't their ability or otherwise to use mobile phones, it's that deployment of foreign troops to the conflict is a dangerous escalation.

That's a ridiculous jump to make, i was answering a post about tankies.
I would question if the original tankies were politically consistent or just shite anti-imperialists all along.
Corbyn didn't win anything - because of trots.

Corbyn didn't win anything more because of the parliamentary Labour Party than the trots, and largely because of one keir starmer's shitty Europe policy at the get brexit done election - and even so he received more votes in 2019 than starmer accrued in july

well that settled it, whilst North Korea is a one-party state led by a dynastic totalitarian dictatorship that regularly engages in grave human rights abuses. Surveillance is pervasive, arbitrary arrests and detention are common, and punishments for political offenses are severe.
you can still have a mobile phone so happy days ..

For that to happen, wouldn't it requires significant numbers of NATO warplanes to ensure that the Russian Air force was no longer a threat. Which involve flying missions into Russia itself?
Because I can't see many countries willing to put their soldiers in the conditions the Ukrainians are fighting in.
