|The world's only super power and the leader of the free world is
|currently floating around the idea of surrendering in the war in
|Europe right after the arrival of the 'mighty' North Korea
|reinforcements which 'must have been the one thing that tipped the
|scales' of the war. After Trump is in office and makes this official
|policy, North Korea will forever be able to claim that they forced
|the free world to it's knees in their propaganda. That kinda shit
|can greatly increase the ego of any dictator and make him think that
|he and his army are invincible. And when they think things like
|that, they invade their neighbors... so for the first time, i don't
|think the threat of North Korea starting a war with South Korea is
|zero.

|I mean they are businessmen first. Xi needs a win, CCP needs money
|and they don't need Russia failing. Not saying their motivations
|aren't a bit more complex. It's just enough time has passed for
|certain things to not escape deniability in a way that's VERY
|incriminating
|u/Bananadite - 9 hours

|So they aren't really supplying anyone. They're just selling

|**Why would China ever tell NK to stop?** *They are helping building
|and sending drones to Putin as well.* .. so now Ukraine is fighting 4
|countries at least
|u/theblazinasian - 11 hours
|
|Well in the same way Russia is fighting like every country that
|gives them aid. Realistically the only countries Ukraine is fighting
|are Russia and NK. As they have boots on the ground. Otherwise it
|gets complicated. With basically dozens of countries supplying
|Ukraine you wouldn't say Russia is fighting all of Nato and the
|states. That's a Russian talking point, best to avoid equating aid
|to actively fighting. It's Ukraine vs Russian and NK, which is
|plenty bad enough.

|South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol asked Chinese President Xi Jinping
|to help stop the DPRK’s provocations, Pyongyang’s deepening military
|cooperation with Moscow, and North Korea’s support for Russia’s war
|against Ukraine. South Korea’s Principal Deputy National Security
|Adviser Kim Tae-hyo said this at a briefing, Ukrinform reports
|citing [Yonhap.](https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20241116000552315) “I
|hope that our two nations will cooperate to promote stability and peace
|in the region in response to North Korea’s repeated provocations, the
|war in Ukraine and military cooperation between Russia and North Korea,”
|Yoon made the remark at a summit with Xi on the sidelines of the Asia-
|Pacific Economic Cooperation in Lima.

|😂 You might as well call Trump… you’ll get the same answer. The world

|focus on destroying them. Once the US is closed off … the internal
|destruction of Trumps enemies and the enemies of his friends can
|begin….Good night and good luck.
|u/BubsyFanboy - 19 hours

|They won't. They'll only do it if they see Russia's case as truly lost
|and so far that unfortunately doesn't seem to be the case.

|So Xi actually answered the phone? Just kidding, of course he answered
|the phone. But, then he handed it to an aide who held it while Xi ate
|his lunch. After Seoul finished speaking Xi put down his food and said,
|“Okay have a good day.”

|Why would South Korea need to care about North Korea participating in a
|war that’s got nothing to do with their hostility and happening
|elsewhere in the world?
|u/Radiant_Knowledge153 - 19 hours
|
|It's giving North Korea experience in modern warfware. That is a
|threat.
|u/Sunnysidhe - 16 hours
|
|Not only that but they aren't supplying those troops for free.
|Russia is supplying either weapons or information that will help

|u/AITAadminsTA - 7 hours
|
|They paid about 20k per NK soldier, compared to a Russian's value
|of about 40k that makes NK soldiers a buy 1 get 1 free
|proposition.
|u/rustoren - 13 hours
|
|Do you mean? Giving their soldiers the experience of being killed by

|u/Radiant_Knowledge153 - 5 hours

|Snarky but foolish. An army consists of (much) more than soldiers.
|u/goshdagny - 18 hours
|
|While I agree that is certainly a threat, I see it similar to some
|joint drills done with China. Both increase their effectiveness but
|one can hardly ask them to stop it since SK is not involved at all
|u/Radiant_Knowledge153 - 18 hours
|
|Given that North Korea has been openly hostile, even attacking SK
|at times. Everything NK does concerns SK.
|u/ChannelGlobal2084 - 19 hours

|Maybe because they still think of them as their long lost relatives
|with hopes of reunification one day?!
|u/DonkeyTron42 - 17 hours
|
|As someone who just got back from spending several months in SK, I
|can say most people consider NK a lost cause and have no interest in
|reunification.
|u/goshdagny - 19 hours

|I think they do think that way but this is not going to affect it
|one way or the other
|u/Jubjars - 17 hours
|
|The DPRK / Kremlin alliance is an active terror union that is piling
|bodies in europe ATM, who routinely threaten nuclear war. Kim even
|promised to turn Seoul into a "Sea of Fire" if he ever felt
|threatened. China rewards these actions FOR YEARS (just after the war
|started I'm not including the decades Kim has been shielded by them
|prior) while threatening to do similar behaviors to the Taiwanese
|while operating and pushing a system of no accountability for the man
|at the top. If you feel like this is a contained issue not
|drastically endangering the world, and is just a localized civil
|dispute that can be ignored, you really are ignorant.

|Just let the South Koreans send in some troops to fight in Eastern

|I guarantee you, South Korea won't sit idle by while North Korea

|That's exactly what they are doing
|u/CuhSynoh - 8 hours
|
|They will have to sit idle. Getting further involved with Ukraine
|would only further strengthen the ties between Russia, China and
|NK, making things worse for SK. Best they can do is sit and
|prepare for whatever tech North Korea will get from Russia.

|Ukraine disrespected South Korea big time recently. Because of this,
|the vast majority of South Koreans have become anti-Ukraine a couple
|months ago, even those who were pro-Ukraine. The only ones who are
|still pro-Ukraine are non-patriotic people who don't mind their
|country being insulted, people who have personal reasons to support
|Ukraine (e.g., have Ukrainian friends) and the president, who is
|extremely unpopular, with the approval rating of less than 20%.
|u/Interesting-Type-908 - 8 hours

|I must have missed that. How exactly did Ukraine disrespect South
|Korea?

|1. A Ukrainian embassador to Japan visited the jasukuni shrine.
|This is a huge disrespect to not just SK but also a lot of other
|East Asian nations who are victims of Japanese invasion in WWII.
|Remember, japan was the asian equivalent of the nazi germany in
|WW2. The embassador paid tribute to Asian nazism. 2. The same
|embassador also shared a map of a territory that is disputed
|between SK, NK and Japan. The territory was labelled as a Japanese
|territory on the map. This territorial dispute is one of ths most
|sensitive geopolitical issues for people in SK.
|[source1](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ukraine-envoy-
|disrespects-china-yasukuni-093000291.html) [source2](https://www.
|pressian.com/pages/articles/2024092610471383021) (use google
|translate) When Russia signed the new defense contract with NK
|this summer, a lot of SKs were calling for increase in support for
|Ukraine, including military support. That sentiment didn't last
|long and quickly dissipated because of the above controversies.
|Zelensky went to SK a few weeks ago for an interview, in which he
|pleaded for military support. Social media platforms were flooded
|with antipathic comments, with some saying "Don't you favor Japan
|more? Go seek help from Japan instead." Besides these recent
|controversies, there are many other reasons why the idea of
|sending military support is so unpopular in SK. I could elaborate
|on these if you are interested.

|China's being calling for peaceful negotiations for years. Where was SK
|at that time? What can Xi do to NK when Kim Jong Un doesn't listen to
|anyone? NK stopped following China since he came to power. SK is
