I wouldn’t be saying anything that could get my family back home killed either.
Yeah I don’t expect Kim’d let anybody leave NK that isn’t either fanatically loyal or under their thumb somehow even whilst abroad.
If I’m a tyrannical overlord that is sending bodies to a meatgrinding war that means nothing to me, I’ll rather send those too ambitious for their own sake or those that I can live without. In other words I’ll use it as an excuse to weed out.
I wouldn’t take away the fanatics as those might be part of the foundations of my power.
Also propaganda.
Being captured could do that.
It’s what happened to my grandfather, kind of… Russian soldier caught by the Nazis, escaped from a concentration camp to Italy, met my grandmother. Because he didn’t go back to Russia, he was considered a deserter, so his family was killed. My aunt travelled to Russia in the late 90’s to try to find more information, she was quickly escorted out of the country for trying to dig into what happened.
Yeah, well a cult will do that to you. Ask any conservative.
Ok this is super uncomfortable for me to ask, but how would a Korean spy work in Ukraine?
I’m not completely sure, but I’m confident enough to state that a Korean spy might stand out
Spies working for a country do not have to look like the stereotypical person from that country. The spy could even be “on loan” from some other country friendly to SK.
Well, this is just information published by the SK Spy Agency. It doesn’t necessarily mean they have spies in Ukraine. They might have spies in other countries that have information on Ukraine. Or they might’ve just gotten this information through one or multiple of their allies. Besides that, spies don’t have to necessarily be of the ethnicity of the country they’re spying for. There are many cases of natives spying on their own countries for foreign powers in exchange for money or out of ideological reasons.
This would be sk officers from their CIA stationed with Ukraine military to help deal with nk. They’re not there secretly
The captured ones believed they were in training. They live inside of a bubble, to them, the propaganda is everything they are exposed outside of their country.
