Many folks were trying to divine a motive behind the recent chatter around Dear Leader bringing Juche to the oppressed workers of Ukraine
So let's hypothesize
Seems like it could be a ploy to start shifting some weapon supply burden onto ROK and who knows maybe even Japan. Further evidence Ukraine is becoming unsustainable
What's your theory
One more, one less, what's the difference. No, it's actually good, if they send UA weapons that means they won't be attacking DPRK.
To be honest Russia isn't as strongly denying it anymore. I've long thought that the DPRK should send troops both to crush fascism and the US/NATO empire and because sad as it is that war costs lives, the DPRK has no warfare experience within the last 60 years and things have changed a lot. A few brigades getting experience on modern combat with Russia could take those lessons back and save many lives if/when the occupied south attacks with the Americans.
Also AFAIK didn't occupied Korea already send a bunch of shells to Ukraine? They may not have been operating at full steam in support of them but I'm pretty sure they already chose to get involved.
Though I am still dubious that this has happened it wouldn't be that strange and wouldn't change my position that Russia has the right to do this.
Though I do find it a bit unlikely Russia would actually allow it as it would give the west a pretext to pour their own troops over the border by saying Russia did it first with an ally and all is fair. Most likely the DPRK troops that are in Russia reported by the west are just there for training and learning the latest combat lessons from Russian troops in modern warfare.
Hopefully the Russian Duma ratifies the treaty on mutual defense and cooperation soon as that would certainly deter the US somewhat from attacking Korea.
Idk if Samsung in particular but i guess we can already call collective chaebols a single monopoly, but occupied Korea is in top ten of global weapons exporters and they probably look for someone to pay for their production after at least one huge contract flopped in last minute (giant tank sale to Poland). And while UA is busted the hollow brains in EU and UK quite possibly can fork at least some printed debt for that.
cool, then the war of attrition can grind down ROK and Japan too
afterwards china can just send like 5 unarmed guys to plant a flag
Historians will argue around the cave camp fire about which lead to what.
Much like they do with ww2. I’m of the opinion that started with the Sino-Japanese war
The real argument is whether WWII started with the Marco Polo Bridge incident in 1937 or the Mukden incident in 1931.
It's so silly that the proxy Korea wants to act as big as Sovereign Korea
