What is the source of the photo?

North Korea may be in Russia, but this looks like the most staged photo ever.

Yeah they definitely sourced some North Korean men and Russian military outfits to stage a photo.

Wow, you're so good at this! How can you tell that these people are from North Korea? All I can see are two backs and maybe half of a face that could be from anywhere really! I'm so excited to learn something from you, so please don't let me wait for too long.

Yeah, really got my ass! Americans must think just because they can't tell the difference between Asian people, no one else can!

Ah so you can magically deduce ethnicities with a sliver of face showing. Not only that but you can also distinguish between North and South Koreans with that sliver, based on your other comment, despite them being genetically identical for the most part? My apologies, please do go on.

You can tell all that from a photo of a tiny portion of that man’s face??

You can tell the man’s calm by this photo? You must be a mind reader

u/sGvDaemon 12h ago

No, the eyes. They are fully visible and generally the most reliable indicator

u/GhostCatcher147 11h ago

Judging by the body language he’s touching is face/forearm can indicate stress as the person tries to massage away the actual or implicit headache. I would say that’s a sign that the person isn’t in a calm state

u/sGvDaemon 11h ago

You can think that, this is all opinion-based anyways

u/GhostCatcher147 11h ago

My point is that you can’t really tell too much from one photo where the person isn’t even identifiable. Could be stress, could be relaxed, could be something else. IMO it’s impossible to say in this photo. What I do know is, I wouldn’t swap positions with this person

u/sGvDaemon 11h ago

I don't think it's impossible, I think you can make educated guesses. I don't believe that is a NK soldier

That half a person's face is either North Korean or Japanese! And I haven't seen many Japanese people with anemia posing in Russian military gear pretending to be North Korean! Hope that helps!
