North Koreans about to topple Kim Jong Un

Kim Jong Un may face a mutiny within his military ranks if Russia fails to win the war in Ukraine.

Earlier this week, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte confirmed the presence of North Korean troops in Russia's Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces continue to resist enemy attacks.

According to Washington, Pyongyang has deployed 3,000 soldiers to support Russia on the Ukrainian battlefield.

However, an expert has warned that this military assistance could backfire on the North Korean leader if the operation “goes wrong.”

Patrick Cronin, the Asia-Pacific security chair at Hudson Institute, said that the deployment is "small enough that Kim Jong Un can contain the potential risk within North Korea from any attempt at a military mutiny should the operation go badly."

This news comes amid reports that Russian troops have already expressed frustration with their new allies.
