President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that it was Russia’s business whether or not it decided to use North Korean troops and said that if Ukraine wanted to join NATO then Moscow could do what it wanted to ensure its own security.
The United States said on Wednesday that it had seen evidence that North Korea has sent 3,000 troops to Russia for possible deployment in Ukraine, a move that the West is casting as a significant escalation of the Ukraine war.
Ukraine’s military intelligence service said that the first North Korean units trained in Russia had been deployed in the Kursk region, a Russian border area where Ukrainian forces took a chunk of Russian land in August.
NATO should really just allow Ukraine to join and tell Russia: get out within 1 week and restore the original borders or you’re at war with NATO. It’s Ukraine’ and NATO’s affair after all, correct?
That’s probably why NATO doesn’t invite countries at war. What’s stopping Ukraine from invoking article 5 immediately?
Well, that’d be the point of Ukraine joining NATO currently.
NATO maintains that it is a defensive alliance. If NATO starts adding countries Russia is currently at war with, it becomes an offensive alliance.
That being said, why wasn’t Ukraine added earlier?
Russia can stop being at war at any second, if it chooses to
Ukraine’s purpose is just to hold off dying long enough to keep oil prices high and weapon sales up. Any threat of winning gets the US nuked.
You can sanction North Korea more if this upsets you. Or use US empire’s deep friendship with DPRK to get them to withdraw.
lol. Dipshit
