Commentary

Reports have finally surfaced concerning the deaths of North Korean soldiers deployed to Russia. As the conflict continues, the toll of casualties is likely to increase. Although the Kim regime attempts to crack down this information, news will quickly spread among North Korean citizens and soldiers back home.

To calm the unrest and fears among soldiers regarding the news, Kim Jong Un is expected to further heighten military tensions with South Korea as a means of control. Nonetheless, as reports from Russia about North Korean soldier casualties increase, there will come a time when Kim will lose control over his own military, and this moment is approaching faster than expected.
