    Intended to tell the USA that South Korea is on the menu if they get involved in Ukraine I’d wager.

    That said … I can’t imagine either NK or Russia wants to be at the find out stage of that statement.

        If you ask a russian there is a good chance they will tell you Russia is “defending” one thing or another in Ukraine.
        Or that russia is in fact defending itself from an attack from “the west” atm.
        It’s all bullshit, but propaganda will do its thing.

        Nothing (russian) stopping NK from trying to “defend” some shit in SK as well.
        Off course they will then find out that Putins word is not worth the dickhole it came out of, but that’s another story.

    This is good for the dprk, the US still runs massive mock invasions to force them to spend massively on their military, this plus the nukes makes them a lot less precarious, especially with dedollarization too.

    No one is going to attack North Korea and despite promising to do so every minute of every day for the last few decades North Korea isn’t going to attack anyone. Russia on the other hand is a typical warmongering western imperial power squabbling with the other warmongering western imperial powers like always, so they will be having wars to spare for as long as there is a Russian Federation. I guess NK trading a few million extra mouths to feed for whatever Russia can spare economically could benefit the leadership of both countries.

        Not Western Europe. Europe as a whole and its colonial projects around the globe which murdered their way to being majority “White.” The West.
