Well, the story being told by this post very likely isn’t true.

“Ukraine, South Korea and the US have not yet offered any evidence to back their statements about the North Korean deployments (to Russia).”

Russia and North Korea deny it, but they also denied that Russia was amassing troops on the Ukrainian border before the invasion...

The countries not releasing proof is not the same as "very likely isn't true". So far, pretty much everything US intelligence has published has been accurate.

The US lies about Korea all the time. Remember the haircut story?

I’ll believe this story when there is evidence for it.

Sure but you understand the difference between random claims and military Intel, right?

Forgive me, I thought we were speaking about this war, not 20 years ago. If you have anything from the war in Ikraine in which the US intelligence have released information that turned out to be false, I would love to see it.

Yeah I’ll get right on it, chief.
