Jesus man. Putin isn't merely fucked, he is so far beyond fucked he can't even see fucked in the rearview mirror anymore.
Hell at this point if someone from the inside doesn't kill him, he'll die of a stroke with all the stress his "SMO" is causing him.
As for the NK soldiers, I almost feel sorry for them. It's stupid enough when some idiot dictator sends his troops to die for the vainglory of Dear Leader. It's criminally stupid to send them off to die for the vainglory of someone else's Dear Leader. Their best-case scenario is being taken prisoner and realizing they are actually now free. Hell, Ukraine's PoW camps are better quality than the Norks own military "quarters" and come with three meals a day. Something NK soldiers rarely, if ever get.
