North Korea hires former KGB spies as military advisors

Aug. 25 (UPI) -- North Korea may have hired more than 10 former KGB agents as military advisers as concerns grew that leader Kim Jong Un could become the target of an assassination, according to a Japanese newspaper.

The Asahi Shimbun reported Friday concerns about Kim's safety prompted the regime to bring in Russian spies, many of who had been active in the former Soviet Union.

"In February, North Korea invited to Pyongyang about 10 former staff of the KGB's anti-terrorism unit with experience in suppression strategy, to Pyongyang, and entrusted them to carry out the training of [North Korea] escort commanders," a North Korean source on the matter told the Asahi.

North Korea's escort command has an exclusive responsibility to protect Kim, who, according to state media, has been targeted for a U.S. and South Korean decapitation operation.

After reading this, I wonder if Putin has some involvement with this due to his past ties with the KGB?

Define irony.

A country that is currently whining about nazis that used their scientists to build something another country built on their own without the help of nazis.

Ain't that a kick in the rear.

I wonder what a lot of the petty whingy whiners would say if they took the time to read into the history of operation paper clip or researched into the history of over a thousand ex Nazis being enrolled by the CIA during the Cold War?

"... may have hired ..."

Because there is a possibility that, eventually, if the stars alligns, there might be a chance that this could be accurate ... but we're not sure at this stage.

As long as it goes well with the rest of the "Muh Russia" stuff, it is OK to consider it I guess.

Sounds like a good "business" move. Won't help them! But ya gotta respect the effort! Shows a potential for "leadership" ability, a little to late. But respectable, nonetheless.

So the Russians are now backing the North Koreans and they helped get Trump elected?
