The Russian soldiers talk disdainfully about the incoming North Korean soldiers, codenamed the “K Battalion,” at one point referring to them as “the f**king Chinese.”

Well, if a shit force thinks another force is shit, I guess the rest of us have a little less to worry about. At this point, desperation is the only big concern.

I doubt the Russians speak Korean or the Koreans speak Russian. No idea if they know how to use each other's hardware. Very difficult to coordinate units with that kind of gap.

If Russian commanders take this as license to use Korean soldiers as cannon fodder, I imagine that will degrade the relationship between the two countries rapidly.

You never need to use the word "if" when talking about Russian commanders and cannon fodder.

Just "where" and "when".
