Recent reports indicate that there are approx. 10,000 North Korean soldiers in the Russian military at the moment - we've taken a number of POWs, most of whom beg not to be repatriated to their mad king. And yet South Korea is still mulling over whether to aid Ukraine.

We found, among other things, Canadians feel more threatened. When asked without any prompts, they cite the US as the greatest threat. Canadians trust, yes, academics more than anyone else we asked about, with military leaders next and the media dead last.
