Well, their quality of life just vastly improved
Yes, theirs did. But their families back in North Korea? I suspect their quality of life is about to get much worse.
Only if NK knows who they are.
I suspect that if you treat them mild nicely and provide some amenities they will just quickly realize what kind of a psychological hell hole they have been living in and immediately switch sides
I would release them after a month so they can talk up their mates.
That's not how it works over there. It's a massive snitch state run by a mobster. Nobody talks to anyone about anything.
Exactly. If they’re returned they won’t be allowed anywhere near other North Korean troops. They’ll likely be returned immediately to the DPRK and sent to a labor/prison camp so they can’t talk to anybody that might listen.
Lucky them
Is their secret bathroom at Mar-a-Lago with more top secret documents stolen by the Orange Asswipe?
I know this is a heavy situation and all, but I still found this photo funny.
Seems to be some civilian training:
Someone needs to teach grandma how to handle that weapon.
Grandma? You aren’t the best at guessing ages
That sure looks like grey hair to me.
You are aware that there were an almost global trend in 2024 of dying your hair grey, even for young women, right?
I actually was not. But I dig some older women with silver hair. However, the woman in this photo is almost baby faced (no offense at all intended). Grandma commentary is odd.
Nope, never seen it.
Quite a lot of young women jumped on the grey hair trend where I live. But of course it might not have been a trend where you live.
Here's a bunch of examples: https://www.latest-hairstyles.com/color/silver.html
Do you even go outside? I have been wfh indefinitely and rarely leave anymore and yet I’ve seen this trend.
I have gray hair, and I'm not a grandma. Nor a grandpa.
Bet it would still make me age you up if I were to guess your age.
My mother had grey hair at 16...
Dude, she's just blonde, homegirl doesn't even have wrinkles yet. I'd guess she's late 20's early 30s. If that's grandma age to you, it says more about your hometown than it does about her.
I don't know if it's just the Kalashnikov or what, but I'm kind of into this grandma.
Can I quote you on that?
Captured alive for the first time? Are they usually dead when they’re captured?
