Yes there is.

Reasserting your empty claim is not evidence.

Way more than your imagined threat to “russian” speakers in ukraine.

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me." Send in the Wagner PMC group (named after Hitler's favourite composer and co founded by a NAZI) to oppose them Because of course Russia does not have a NAZI problem. (Shame Prigozhin got out of line and had to be murdered in the end.)

"Reasserting your empty claim is not evidence." If you spent 20 seconds more looking you would have found more news reports of the North Korean troops. But you didn't. And I'm not bothering.

I’ve seen the reports. They say those troops are in Russia. If they’ve done anything to date, they’ve defended Russian territory, in Russia.

"they’ve defended Russian territory, in Russia." LOL Prigozhin is dead, he's not doing another march on Moscow.
