The US cannot confirm that North Korean soldiers in Russia were addicted to porn after gaining access to the Internet

Hardened soldiers indeed.

North Korean military personnel who joined the war front in Ukraine on behalf of Russia will have unrestricted Internet access for the first time – and may be using it to view vast amounts of pornography, according to a report that a Pentagon official could not confirm.

Warriors from the Hermit Kingdom fought in Ukraine for the first time on Monday – but they allegedly began fighting various demons before entering any field, according to a report.

According to a Financial Times correspondent, these soldiers have been engaged in an offensive of the bulge since the free use of the Internet.

“A normally reliable source tells me that the North Korean soldiers sent to Russia have never had full access to the Internet before. As a result, they devour pornography,” Financial Times outside commentator Gideon Rachman wrote in an X post.

Rachman provided no further context about how his source knew the internet habits of the 10,000 North Korean soldiers Kim Jong Un sent to support Putin's war effort.

“As entertaining as this may sound, I cannot confirm any North Korean internet habits or virtual 'extracurricular activities' in Russia,” Defense Department spokesman Army Lt. Charlie Dietz told Task and Purpose.

“We are focusing on the more serious aspects of North Korea's involvement in Russia's military operations, if any. As for Internet access, this question is best addressed to Moscow. For now, our attention remains on supporting Ukraine and addressing the broader regional security concerns.”

This military publication reports that the second- and third-order effects of exposing psychologically and culturally protected North Korean troops to the world of graphic Internet pornography are not yet known.

The Kremlin did not respond to the Post's request for comment.
