This USA collaborative pearl-clutching between the Defense Department and their media stenographers is laughable, at best.
Before getting to the crux of their story also remember the U.S conducts joint military training operations with dozens of nations, including NATO. Additionally, Ukraine military have been training in the United States for almost two years {Citation Link}. Also, the U.S and U.K have official and unofficial “advisors” and intelligence operatives on the ground in Ukraine; they have been there for three years.
Secondly, Russia and North Korea share a border (Rajin). Third, this is NOT about Ukraine, although Secretary Lloyd Austin has to pretend not to know this (emphasis mine).
Associated Press – Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed Wednesday the U.S. has evidence that North Korean troops are in Russia. “What exactly they’re doing” remains to be seen, Austin told journalists while in Rome, Italy. “These are things that we need to sort out.”
Ukraine and South Korea have warned that North Korean soldiers have traveled to Russia for training ahead of planned deployment to fight on battlefields in eastern Ukraine and western Russia.
Austin said Wednesday that the U.S. would “continue to pull this thread” to establish whether Pyongyang can be considered a co-belligerent in the conflict. “That is a very, very serious issue and it will have impacts not only in Europe, it will also impact things in the Indo-Pacific as well,” Austin warned.

Chairman Xi Jing Ping does not want President Donald Trump to win the election because Chairman Xi knows President Trump is the only person who can stop China from taking Taiwan without a single U.S. troop being involved.
If China were to move on Taiwan, President Trump would immediately and forcefully declare an economic war and shut down 100% of all Chinese imports including any imports/exports from their transnational shipping alliances. It’s not even a question, and Xi knows this.
Beijing is cunning panda. North Korea is a proxy province to China. Chairman Xi knows how to play the USA political pretending game against our interests. Secretary Lloyd Austin obliquely states the reality of why Chairman Xi would want Chairman Kim Jong Un to support the training of DPRK troops when he says, “it will also impact things in the Indo-Pacific as well. Duh, that’s the primary purpose, not an ancillary result.
If China moves against Taiwan, they will do so using troops from the DPRK military. This is why Beijing has been supporting long-range missile placements in North Korea for several years and conducting exercises therein. President Trump is the only leader in the USA who has leveraged the brutal honesty of the situation to forcibly strain the ties that bind Beijing with Pyongyang. Trump can do it again with increased intensity this time.
If President Trump does not win the November election, Chairman Xi will take full control over Taiwan. That’s the benefit of keeping the USA tied up in Ukraine, and that’s the undiscussed and unadmitted, non-pretending reality of the situation.
Lastly, if NATO decides to remove the word “proxy” from the pretense and put USA/U.K. troops openly on the ground in Ukraine, there will be more than just China and North-Korea in the Russian corner. Watch: Moldova, Syria, Serbia, Belarus and beyond.
