Translator’s Note: Imagine if China or Russia sent “Internationalist” troops to help defend Iran! Of course, Cuba has sent its soldiers all over the world to a level probably not understood by most people. China, under the Great Mao Zedong, sent “Volunteers” into Korea to take-on the US (1950-1953) – and did support the Vietnamese in their war against the US. Of course, under China’s new policy of placing economic growth ahead of all other aspects – it is unlikely that PLA troops will ever fight for any third party in the world – ever again. Russia is now capitalist – so its army supports that ideology – and there is no reason for it to support any Socialist regime or entity. I wish the world was different – but there it is. I certainly do not want war – I want peace – but I know we need to defend ourselves from the brutal forces of predatory capitalism. By the way, I do think Russia is a special case as it is a post-Soviet State – which is something new in the world. The Trotskyite-controlled “Communist” Parties of the West deliberately misrepresent Russia’s just war against Neo-Nazi Ukraine as being “Imperialist” – must be on crack! This is why I prefer the academic out-put of Prof. Grover Furr – who has exchanged emails with me. I purchase and study all his books supporting the Great Stalin and exposing the traitor Trotsky! Prof. Furr often teams-up with contemporary Russian academics who agree with his historical assessment. Anyway, around one-third of the Russian Parliament is composed of elected Communist MPs. Furthermore, North Korea believes it owes a historical debt to Russia in the sense that the Soviet Red Army freed North Korea from Japanese domination and then protected the Socialist State from US invasion. At least 101 North Korean soldiers died in Kursk – with many more wounded (some of these have been pictured sat in wheelchairs). I will keep an eye on this story. By the way, Dr Dermot Hudson, who leads the UK Korean Friendship Association, issued a very interesting post recently – explaining how North Korea abolshed Income Tax in 1974! ACW (19.3.2026)
Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) — Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, gave on-site guidance at the Memorial Museum of Combat Feats at the Overseas Military Operations under construction on March 16.
Accompanying him were the members of the WPK Central Military Commission, senior officials of the Party Central Committee and generals of the Korean People’s Army.
He was greeted on the spot by commanding officers of the military units involved in the construction and officials of the designing and creation institutions.
The construction is now under way at 93 percent of the total project.
Going round the interior of the memorial museum, the heroes’ cemetery area, the captured weapons exhibition area and other places of the construction site, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un learned about the finishing project and the installation of sculptures and symbolic memorials.
Pointing out some irrational elements of the interior of the memorial museum, he clarified the direction of correcting them and gave detailed instructions on ensuring the highest quality in the finishing project.
He stressed once again the important significance of this construction project, saying that the memorial museum should be an aggregate showing the level of our architecture and fine art creation.
The Memorial Museum of Combat Feats will be inaugurated on the occasion of the first anniversary of the liberation of Kursk, he said, giving an instruction that the service personnel, designers and creators, involved in the noble work for recording in history forever the matchless bravery and mass heroism displayed by our soldiers at overseas military operations, should successfully complete the memorial museum as an immortal sacred sanctuary with the solemn reverence of all the people.
