Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH), the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence chair, said the United States should “seriously consider taking direct military action” if North Korean troops invade Ukraine. “Now that Secretary Austin has finally acknowledged that North Korean troops are in Russia preparing to enter the conflict with Ukraine, the Biden-Harris Administration must make clear that North Korean troops entering this conflict are a red line for the United States,” Turner said. “I have long challenged the Biden-Harris Administration’s unwise position on restricting Ukraine’s use of U.S. weapons against targets within Russian territory. If North Korean troops attack Ukraine from Russian territory, Ukraine should be permitted to use American weapons to respond,” he continued. “If North Korean troops were to invade Ukraine’s sovereign territory, the United States needs to seriously consider taking direct military action against the North Korean troops,” he added.

Lloyd Austin has said that there is evidence North Korean troops are present in Russia. “We assess that between early to mid-October, North Korea moved at least 3,000 soldiers into eastern Russia. We assess that these soldiers traveled by ship from the Wonsan area in North Korea to Vladivostok, Russia,” White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said. “These soldiers then traveled onward to multiple Russian military training sites in eastern Russia, where they are currently undergoing training,” he continued. Kirby said that the U.S. does not know whether the North Korean troops will fight alongside Russian forces, but described the prospect as “a highly concerning probability.” “Why has the Biden-Harris Administration failed to actively brief Congress about the movement of North Korean troops into Russia? Today, I sent a letter to President Biden demanding that his administration give @HouseIntel answers and that the use of North Korean troops against Ukraine must be a red line for the United States and NATO,” Turner wrote last week.

He also gave a stark warning that should the North Korean troops be employed against Ukraine, “they will become legitimate military targets.”

Vice President Kamala Harris admitted during a CNN town hall event on Wednesday night that former President Donald Trump’s proposal to build a border wall on the southern border was a “good idea.” Harris made the remarks while being pressed by host Anderson Cooper over her claims that she will work across the aisle with Republicans to secure the border. “Let’s talk about this compromise bill that you want to pass if you’re elected,” he said. “It includes $650 million in funding for the border wall. That’s something Republicans wanted. That was part of the compromise.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “Under Donald Trump, you criticized the wall more than 50 times. You called it ‘stupid,’ ‘useless,’ and ‘a medieval vanity project.'” “Is a border wall stupid?” he asked. Harris would not answer the question, choosing instead to laugh and claiming that Trump posed next to a piece of wall built by former President Barack Obama. “But you’re agreeing to a bill that would earmark $650 million to continue building that wall,” Cooper pressed. “I pledge that I am going to bring forward that bipartisan bill to further strengthen and secure our border,” she claimed. “Yes, I am. And I’m going to work across the aisle to pass a comprehensive bill that deals with a broken immigration system.” Several moments later, Cooper again drilled down on Harris, noting that she was claiming she was going to fix the border crisis by signing a bill into law that calls for “$650 million that was earmarked under Trump to actually still go to build the wall.” “I’m not afraid of good ideas where they occur, Anderson,” Harris responded.
