Sept. 21 (UPI) – South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol warned during an address to the United Nations General Assembly that Seoul and its allies will not “stand idly by” if Russia gives North Korea technical assistance with its nuclear and missile programs.

    Wow, so much wrong here. Poland can be pushing for unicorn cavalry for what I care. It’s stupid to say it has anything to do with NATO’s policy or plans. DPKR already has nukes so it doesn’t really want ‘the same’. Also, South Korea can complain but no one is saying they have any right to attack, murder and rape North Koreans because of that. When they do and the West supports it you can talk about hypocrisy. Now you’re just grasping at straws because what Russia is doing is unjustifiable.

      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. The bit I can’t understand is why this is bad when what the US has done historically for decades is apparently A-OK because freedom

        So you don’t understand that South Korea, that is not part of NATO, can say they don’t like something and at the same time, NATO, which does not include South Korea, can say that Russia can’t use something similar as an excuse to start a bloody war? Yeah, I can tell you’re very confused. Maybe world politics is just to complicated of a topic for you?

          South Korea did not say “we don’t like it”. They said “we will take actions if they do it”. They were vague on what those actions would be. 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.
