I wonder if the language barrier will be an issue for these troops. Not sure how many norks speak Russian, but Iโ€™d imagine not many in the military would.

My guess is they will be compartmentalized to their own unit(s), with dual speakers coordinating with Russian units/leadership. Though, like you say, there probably aren't very many of those, so these units will be particularly at risk if their rare dual speaker gets taken out. They could probably mitigate this a bit by having dual speakers in safer locations one tier up the command chain.

This all assumes they will be in front-line roles. It is possible they will get assigned to safer duties, freeing up Russian soldiers to go to the front.

The hardest part is keeping track of all their booster seats. They have some very short people

Lack of proper nutrition has a tendency to do that.

If your a dictator, you ALWAYS keep your army fed.

Not in this case. Since the military is the only entity that could take kim down. Plus they were starving while developing as children, so even if the military was fed well, they'd still be pocket humans.

Sorry I didn't articulate well: what I meant is a dictator relies on military force to stay in power. If a dictators military are not feeling they are being treated well, they will quickly have a new dictator that treats them better. Exactly what you mention in your 2nd sentence.
