Since the famous Karl von Clausewitz created the Nebel des Krieges concept, the fog of war, this expression has been used several times, compared to what is often called the masirovka, which is far from its own and precise meaning. The first, if it refers to the difficulty that the warrior always has to know his reality in a complete and correct way, the second goes the other way: it is to make the enemy (and the rest) as wrong as possible about what you really are doing or have to do. In short, the purpose of military masrovka or disinformation would be to sow the fog of war as thick as possible. Anyway, they're both as old as the art of war.

Well, when you hear stories such as that of the North Korean soldiers who would be in Russia on the front line of war with Ukraine, it is difficult for the observer to distinguish what can be a reality blurred by the fog of war and classical masirovka. But there's no other way to approach the truth.

Although the only “fact” we have the observers is that three or four weeks ago there are convulsive videos, in which North Korean soldiers would be seen picking up packages of Russian soldiers, at some point in the Far East, the Western speakers are taking it for granted that they are about to participate directly in the war in Ukraine. As a precursor to all of them, the Fifth Congress of Deputies held in the Chamber of Deputies had a unique character. The Zelensky government already assumes that the North Koreans could participate in the battle of Kursk. The nuance of place is not baladí: Kursk, unlike Donbass or Crimea, is an internationally recognised Russian territory, and would be based on the defence treaties of North Korea and Russia.

When it comes to interpreting that “fact” that Russia does not deny for the time being, the options are completely dispersed. Kiev believes that Russia would be "made" in the field of recruitment and that is why it faces the human reserve of the Korean ally. The reading of the Pentagon is more fine-tuned: the interest of the Korean Army can even make its soldiers difficult in a real advanced war. There is also no need to mix wheat and fern directly. And it's possible that, as in the story of the Hindu blind, everybody manipulates the same elephant.

But in that case, the elephant would not be in the part of Ukraine, but in the Sea of Japan. We easily forget it, but the war in Korea is not settled when it is about to turn 75. And II. The World War was resolved there in this way. And Japan is undergoing a clear review of that finish, beyond the approval of the United States. And with the undeniable anger of China. And ...

A great storm is forming in the Sea of Japan in the midst of a fog.
