Key Republican: US should consider ‘direct military action’ if North Korean troops enter Ukraine

House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) on Wednesday said the U.S. should consider taking “direct military action” if North Korean troops enter the war in Ukraine, following the revelation that thousands of soldiers from the isolated country are in Russia.

The White House said earlier Wednesday that Washington had assessed at least 3,000 North Korean troops are undergoing training at military bases in eastern Russia, with fears they will eventually be sent to Ukraine to fight alongside Kremlin forces.


Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Tuesday the U.S. has seen evidence that North Korean troops were in the former Soviet state.

“The Biden-Harris Administration must make clear that North Korean troops entering this conflict are a red line for the United States,” Turner said in a statement.

The key words for him to deny being a hawk: SHOULD CONSIDER.

No, NATO will provide the means necessary for the Ukrainians to kill the North Koreans on our behalf.

No more undeclared discretionary wars of foreign adventure.

Mikey, you can always volunteer to fight with the Ukrainians yourself.

The Norks are there, some have even deserted (= sought asylum?), and no, no US personnel should be sent to fight.

If Russia wants Ukraine, I say let them have it.  Too much money already spent with little to show for it.
