Koreans on Ukraine-Russia front: it's already regional war
In the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture of the People's Republic of China (PRC), almost 900,000 Koreans live
This prefecture directly borders Russia's Primorsky Krai. There are over 2 million Koreans in the PRC. I’m not hinting at anything right now, just stating facts.
I’ll be honest with you: I can barely distinguish between Koreans from the PRC and Koreans from the DPRK. No biased attitude! It just so happens.
“The only thing is, they probably won’t pass the 'palianytsia test,' no matter where they come from. The Russians simply can’t teach them that, regardless of what clothes they give them or what weapons they use. They themselves can’t pass the test of "one people – one language.’”
The very first captured Korean should be immediately brought to a press conference with foreign media and the entire diplomatic corps in Ukraine. All these statements from our partners about "this is a red line, but there’s no confirmation" have already become tiresome. You have satellite intelligence, radio intercepts, and human intelligence... yet you can't confirm it?
Let's stop warning about common sense, expecting rational decisions from the Russians — it's time to prepare for the reality!
This will no longer be a Russian war against Ukraine. It will be, at the very least, a regional war involving key global players. And what could happen next — we know from history.
