The June 19 defense pact signed between Russia and North Korea included a promise to provide military assistance to one another – within days Pyongyang said it was sending troops to Ukraine.

    How would you propose the intervention happen? Sit Kim down and say “bad boy, stop it”?

    What can “the west” really do to prevent or stop troops from NK being sent to the Ukraine front?

    Russia isn’t going to stop them from crossing their border.

      Drop leaflets on them inviting them to surrender and upgrade their lives to South Korean national.

          Considering that North Korea is literally the worse country in the world to live it, this is super likely to be an attractive offer.

              Nobody’s average soldier age is 45. Has nothing to do NK being rock bottom in country rankings. And the younger you are in NK, the more you are probably screwed.

                  So like Poland was the worst country in Europe to live in at the start of WW2. Not because Poland was bad but because Germany and Russia were bad and would both soon be just as bad to live in as Poland.

        To be honest that’s likely the most effective. Though not very effective compared to threats against family.

        Hmmm. While that would technically stop Russia from needing the troops in Ukraine, I don’t think that just giving a dictator sections of land because he claimed them is a good path.

        “Just give up when I take your shit” is a shit take.
