The propaganda I've heard is that the North Koreans are eager to help. I suppose they could be eager to escape that giant gulag and see another part of the world without having to sneak out and defect.
Yeah....LOL....how many actually show up is another question. They'll be slaves for the Mafiosi.....workmanship will definitely be for ****.....one gulag for another...
I have heard that too. In fact, some criminal court judges will give a prison sentence or enlistment as a choice. I've always wondered if it was a good idea to give a criminal a weapon and target but we do with cops so I guess it's the same deal.
The difference is a 99.9% of Cops have no criminal record or ever committed any crimes. These are hardened criminals that may have killed innocent civilians before all while being given weapons to kill again.
Historically most members of Spetsnaz were draftee soldiers along with a handful of professional quality athletes.
