A better term would be “developing nations” . The term " third world" refers to not being part of NATO (or not aligned to NATO), and is outdated. Also, there various sorts of developing countries, richer, poorer, and some are war or conflict zones.

I hope I’m wrong.

I think you and I are right to be concerned.

These soldiers have been spotted doing military exercises in occupied Ukraine, near Marieopol, Donetsk.

Overall, in the news they’ve mentioned 10K to 13 K NK soldiers off late. And they’re probably up to no go good in Donetsk or like some said training for a future conflict in N & S Korea.

I’m unsure as how the western allies will or should respond, except to view this is a new provocation and escalation of war. NK has openly put their boots in occupied Donetsk.

Update According to Guardian , " NIS said North Korean soldiers were given Russian military uniforms and Russian-made weapons and were issued with fake ID cards of residents of Yakutia and Buryatia, two regions in Siberia.

“It appears that they disguised themselves as Russian soldiers to hide the fact that they were deployed to the battlefield,” the agency said.

As to the question what are they doing and what will they be doing; they aren’t planning to help rebuild Ukraine or offer humanitarian help, I reckon.

That’s what crossed my mind tbh… Don’t care too much for that guy.

RIP " Moonfish" 🙏🏻

Colonel Oleksiy “Moonfish” Mes was a fervent advocate of giving Ukraine the advanced fighters.

KYIV — Ukraine lost the first of its U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets during Monday’s massive missile and drone attack by Russia, killing the pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Oleksiy Mes, one of the country’s first to be qualified to fly the advanced fighters.
