    They are being trained...to die. Big problem for the North Koreans is they only get to do it once.

    I’ll try to answer your question seriously (even though this is a darkly humorous subject). They would “want” to go back to protect their families from reprisals. The mistake the one NK who can speak made was to half-ass his answer. Something along the lines of “I really want to stay in Ukraine, but I’ll go back if I have to.” To channel Mr. Miyagi, you need to be “karate, yes” or “karate, no” on this one. “Karate, guess so” will get you the worst-case scenario. If you’re going to say you want to stay in Ukraine, you had better be all in and just accept whatever consequences that might mean for yours back home. Or the complete opposite: you better say there’s no place like home, North Korea is the Worker’s Paradise, and you’ll swim back if you have to. Otherwise, you might just find yourself back in North Korea with all of the consequences that would go along with defection.

    No hard evidence for NK soldiers. But on Too Hot this war has morphed into the Ukro-Korean War.
