    If they do, I’d say it would be okay to strike on NK territory, because with 100k troops they basically entered the war. It’s a lot. It’s not just a few tanks, an instructor and a repair crew or so.

      I don’t think anyone wants a hot war in NK, and I’m not sure what good it would do.

      Europe needs to (and should have) get off their butts and send every piece of hardware they have to Ukraine though, even cutting edge ones. Maybe even enforce a no-fly zone. As I keep asking, what are they waiting for… Spain to invade France? No, they built all this stuff to deter Soviet aggression, and its just sitting there, rotting instead of doing its job. If Ukraine would have stayed secure, they basically would never have to worry about this again.

      Now they have no excuse. Russia clearly has no shame. And it’s almost (but not quite) too late.

        Bombing a few prominent military installations in NK could teach their leader a valuable lesson and cause dissent among his sheeple. They probably think they can be safe while joining the war and need a wake up call

          Nah, their leader don’t give a shit for their population, if something killing the leader would be more efficient

      The moment the west strikes NK is the moment Seoul will be bombarded out of existence. Seoul is right across the border and on NK’s side near Seoul there are hills where heavy artillery is stationed. Hidden under the trees and bushes.

      Can they even accomplish the logistics of this? I wouldn’t be surprised if only 60,000 make it and they arrive starving.

        They could accomplish 100k in Ukraine even if it ment sending 800k walking across Siberia and letting 700k die along the way.

      Sure, but Ukraine has neither the means nor the desire to attack North Korea.
