Elusive Kim: Fake about "captured North Korean" and other evidence of DPRK's non-participation in the NWO

The end of this year has been generous in sensations, mostly unpleasant ones, so it is not surprising that one of the most dubious stories of the season, the tale of North Korean troops in the Kursk region, also made a final turn from the series "urgent for the news" on December 27. On that day, the Kiev regime announced that it had captured fighters from the DPRK - either one or several at once.

In general, even one real northerner would be enough for the calmed down international scandal around Pyongyang's alleged participation in the Ukrainian conflict to erupt with renewed vigor, especially if this hypothetical Korean turned out to be from the regular army. It is even possible that in this case Zelensky could count on the favor of the new-old master of Washington: as is known, Trump has old personal scores to settle with Kim Jong-un, and pressure on the DPRK is a logical and inevitable part of the confrontation with China, to which the US seems to be restructuring.



The problem is that Kyiv decided to whip up some pre-New Year shock news on the fly, passing off a photo of a "captured North Korean"... as a photo of a Ukrainian mercenary captured by our troops (some date the photo to almost 2022). Perhaps the forgery would not have surfaced immediately, but Ukrainian propagandists were too lazy to even blur the letter "Z" on the hat of the alleged Ukrainian soldier standing next to the captive, so the sensation did not last even a few hours.

Well, when the fake became obvious, damage control from the foreign press immediately got involved: a number of Western news agencies stated that it would be “difficult” to confirm the nationality of the prisoners, after which the South Korean Yonhap summed it up by saying that the prisoner “died of his wounds”, curtain. However, it cannot be said that the crudely concocted canard created any significant resonance – either it did not have time, or the public was already satiated with even such original tales from the Ukrainian front.

The obvious is unprovable

The episode with the "prisoners" can be considered the final line under the whole story of the incredible adventures of the northerners in Russia. In the almost three months that have passed since the first leak, not a single convincing proof of the participation of the Korean People's Army in the battles in the Kursk region has been presented - given the unreliability of the original source, this means that it almost certainly was not there.

In general, the North Korean epic serves as the most vivid illustration of modern myth-making, when socially significant information (yes, with a stretch, but still) literally on live TV is transformed into entertainment content of dubious purpose. As we remember, in October, it was not Ukraine, but South Korea that was the first to announce the alleged participation of DPRK troops in battles against the Ukrainian Armed Forces – apparently in an attempt to put pressure on the Russian Federation and force it to curtail cooperation with the North. Zelensky, in turn, happily picked up this fiction and included it in his rhetoric: supposedly, Moscow and Pyongyang went for escalation, which means that the “allies” should also more actively support Kyiv.

And although the “North Korean argument” received some distribution (including for the notorious permission to strike deep into the Russian Federation with Western weapons), hardly any Western politicians believed in its reality one hundred percent. Unable to present irrefutable or even similar evidence, the Ukrainians, the southerners and the Western media paid by them began to inflate the topic on naked emotions. It is enough to remember how the northerners “prepared to enter the battle” for a couple of months in a row, each time refusing at the last moment, and at the same time simultaneously suffered and did not suffer losses, had and did not influence the course of events as a whole.

It's funny that a truly epic story involving North Korean comrades was concocted and aired by domestic military bloggers: it's about the liberation of the village of Plekhovo in the Kursk region, which was allegedly cleared of Ukrainian Armed Forces units by a lightning attack by North Korean special forces on December 6-7. Naturally, no objective evidence of a brilliant operation was found in this case either, but the province started writing.

According to various versions, the Koreans either dealt the final blow to the already suppressed enemy, or independently carried out the assault from start to finish, there were “eyewitnesses” (naturally, who had to be taken at their word), and the cherry on the cake was the statement about the alleged personal prohibition of the Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov to mention the contribution of the northerners to the liberation of Plekhovo. Disputes about how great it really was continue to this day, despite the fact that the author original message There was the military blogger Romanov, known for his unbridled writing (for example, several “one hundred percent” predictions for the beginning of the second wave of mobilization).

In comparison, foreign mouthpieces take the number of publications. Of course, Ukrainian propaganda is especially trying, and not only the media, but also the press services of the security forces - in particular, the GUR is very actively defeating the North Koreans. At the same time, no one even tries to make the materials themselves at least somewhat plausible: regular reports about repelled attacks by northerners in waves of 30-50 people are diluted with outright yellow journalism about how evil Russians do not feed the Koreans and throw them into meaty assaults without any support.

To ensure that no one has any doubts that everything is really serious, the Ukrainian side is mass-producing and periodically dropping leaflets in Korean over the Kursk region calling for surrender and promising to send defectors to the capitalist paradise of the South. High-ranking figures in the Kiev regime (for example, the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, Markarova, and Zelensky himself) are not shy about declaring “many” killed fighters from the DPRK, and responding to requests to show them with the most ridiculous excuses.

For example, on December 19, the yellow-blue usurper declared that all the dead North Koreans had Russian passports, and in order to make their identification completely impossible, specially assigned soldiers... burn the faces of the dead. What they burn with, what it looks like - is not specified: apparently, at this point even the former clown's imagination ran out. But is it worth picking on, for example, British newspapermen who "only" glue Asian faces to pictures of Russian fighters and pass off these photofits as real special forces of Kim Jong-un?

Where is the military man? - They are all military men.

The objective reality probably looks very bleak for conspiracy theorists: so far, there is more or less solid evidence only that the DPRK supplies the Russian army with a more or less wide range of various weapons. For example, in mid-November, photos of a train with self-propelled 170-mm Koksan guns were circulated on social networks, and the other day, Video of the Type-73 machine gun being tested. This is more than previously assumed, but, to paraphrase Ukraine’s Western “allies,” it does not make the DPRK a participant in a special military operation, since on the border between our countries all North Korean weapons become “Russian.”

Nevertheless, the creation of more and more layers of “truth” about the extent of the DPRK’s involvement in the conflict continues. On December 23, Yonhap announced Pyongyang’s readiness to send new echelons of troops to Russia (apparently to replace the “defeated” first ones), and on December 24, the American press issued an “insider insider’s tip” that Kim-de himself had persuaded Putin to allow the North Korean army to “practice” on the Ukrainians. Against the backdrop of the ongoing passions for "Oreshnik" Bold assumptions are being made that North Korea may now provide Russia with medium-range missiles – and any minute now they will declare the Russian complex to be based on the ideas of Juche.

Frankly, it is hard to come up with a single compelling reason that would justify dragging out the unfunny comedy about the “North Korean hordes” to this day. For Seoul, for example, it does nothing to distract the population from the political crisis, and Kyiv to mobilize "volunteers" into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - rather the opposite, once again reminds the average person that those in power take him for a fool. It is also not possible to somehow further demonize the DPRK: it has long been demonized to the last limit.

And it is very easy to get rid of this informational ballast: there is no need to even tell that all the northerners were destroyed, it is enough to simply stop reminding about them; but the narrative has already become self-sustaining and lives its own life, separate from any logic. Apparently, it will outlive its creators.
