700,000 Tons of Rice for Soldiers: Russia and North Korea Take "Trade" to a New Level

in HiveUkraine19 days ago

It seems the Kremlin has decided to explore a new concept of international exchange: "cannon fodder" in return for food supplies. According to information from Seoul, Pyongyang will receive 700,000 tons of rice from Moscow as a sort of compensation for the "lease" of its soldiers. In today's world, all resources are worth their weight in gold—even if it’s not gold but rice.

While North Korea faces a food crisis, its soldiers have been swiftly sent to "advanced training courses" on mine and explosives handling in Russia’s Kursk region. Reportedly, today marks the final day of their "training," and they may be sent to the front as soon as tomorrow. And all this—for a few sacks of rice!

Now, North Korean soldiers are not merely fulfilling their duty to the state; they have become a "valuable export product" traded for food resources. An innovative solution to tackle hunger, wouldn’t you say? Send off your own people—and set the table!
