South Korea’s presidential office on Thursday condemned an agreement reached by Russia and North Korea that vowed mutual defense assistance in the event of war and said it will reconsider its policy of limiting its support to Ukraine to non-lethal supplies.

The comments by a senior presidential official came hours after North Korea’s state media released the details of the agreement reached between its leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin during their summit on Wednesday in Pyongyang. 

The North’s official Korean Central News Agency said the deal requires both countries to use all available means to provide immediate military assistance in the event of war.

The office of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol issued a statement condemning the agreement, calling it a threat to the South’s security and a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions, and warned that it would have negative consequences on Seoul’s relations with Moscow.

Seeing south korean self propelled artillery in Ukraine would warm my cold, mosquito infested Finnish heart.

I would have thought that one of the few benefits of living in a country that is that cold in the winter would spare you from mosquitoes. No wonder y'all are so pissy when Russia gets too big for their britches.

Yeah no mosquitoes in the winter.

We have a bit over hundred thousand lakes, a ton of ponds and swamps everywhere. So once the weather is warm enough, basically the whole country becomes a breeding pool for those little bastards.

What Finland should do, is "invade" Ukraine. And they take over all the areas that russia control. Take them in the name of Finland. So at this point, they are Finland occupied, but still part of Ukraine.

Now if Russia comes in, they risk engaging in battle with a Finland occupied territory.....a NATO territory.

Crimea might be a bit trickier......because it's no longer considered part of Ukraine.

But then after the war ends, Finland occupies all of Ukraine. But not in a threatening way. Just to make sure russia doesn't come back.

Now if Ukraine on their own want to take back Crimea, they can......but I can't see that being a NATO thing.

And why would Finland do any of this? Well........it's russia. Fuck em.

nice hearts of iron rp

Hell, they should churn out a few divisions of K2 MBTs for them too. I’m sure South Korea would be interested to see the results of some real-world battlefield testing.
