Should we be surprised at foreign troops in Russia.

 RUSSIA IS THE SECOND BIGGEST ARMS EXPORTER IN THE WORLD

THE U.S. IS FIRST

Much ado about North Korean troops seen in Russia. I would expect that a large number of foreign troops come and go in Russia. With Russia being the second biggest arms exporter we can expect troops from every country that they do business with to be in Russia at some time, maybe even some NATO members. 

It seems Ukraine now believes that the presence of North Koreans in Russia may be an excuse to send NATO or U.S. troops to come to their aid. It is pretty much confirmed that Uk, U.S., French and Polish troops are now actually in Russia fighting on the side of Ukraine. This is in Kursk region were an estimated 25,000 Ukraine and its allies troops have been reported killed. 

The reality is that we can expect North Korean, Chinese, Iranian and possibly other troops in Russia on training missions and also as observers of the present conflict. Some may also be involved in logistics support and construction. North Koreans are in fact working in many countries including some of our allies in the middle east.  

U.S. troops are now in an estimated 150 countries including some just announced going to aid in air defenses in Israel. It is very possible that some may die or be injured. 

The U.S has many thousands of foreign troops in the U.S. either for training or examining weapons for sale.  I suspect it is a very long list.

I find it hard to believe that North Korean troops in Russia is a strong case for the U.S. to enter this war, but it seems that some in the state department and intelligence community still would like that to happen. I suspect they will at least have to wait until after the election.
