North Korean Anabasis: Putin’s Mercenary Gamble


Xenophon once chronicled the march of 10,000 Greek mercenaries returning home, warriors hardened by battles in foreign lands. Today, I fear there will be no such account for the 10,000 North Korean special forces Putin has pulled into his war. They will all die in Ukraine, of course.
