If DPRK is field testing their missiles in Ukraine that lets them confirm that they can effectively bypass NATO defences, and that's a nightmare for the occupied Korea. (www.thedrive.com)

If US ends up starting a war with Iran, which is starting to look increasingly likely, they simply might not be in a position to do anything for SK.

Idk how they intend to start a war with anyone. What do they even have left they haven't shipped off to Ukraine or Isn'treal?

Right, like they're openly admitting that the stocks are running dry. What's the thought process here?

KCNA also recognized a few days ago that America's military is spread thin, and given that for the first time in decades the DPRK has declared peaceful reunification impossible I think we could see a Korean War 2. Korean War 1, USA had 50% of the world's GDP and nuclear supremacy while the KPA and PVA had WW1 era weapons. Now, DPRK homegrown arms have been proven to wreck American proxies in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and now possibly Ukraine. If there was any time to retake the South it would be now.

And what about Taiwan?

I think a lot of will depend on the election there. If DPP gets kicked out then US might end up losing grip on it entirely.
