    So what exactly is the problem with two non-NATO allies assisting each other? You’ve got a lot of words there but I don’t see how this is any different to the Nukes that NATO has stored in central Europe. I don’t blame DPRK one bit for wanting to secure it’s military capabilities while the US continues to sabre rattle against China for absolutely zero reason.

Given they’re a USA vassal state and nuclear-armed submarines were already deployed to SK for a show of force, you’re being deliberately obtuse and naive. South Korea is rattling their sabre.
