    Literally every time when NK do something, something big happens and Kim don’t get attention he wanted. Most attention he got was from shit ballon, which now became futile.

      Agree to nothing burger but I never thought their threat was to invade, but instead to lob as much boom into populated areas as possible before they are dissected by surgical strikes

        Which makes the destruction of roads all the more amusing: I don’t think it accomplished anything. Nobody wants to invade The Hermit Kingdom. Ever. Doing so would be a net loss. Korea can just get the job done by remote like it’s a game of Starcraft.

      Yeah. You have North Korea, which has been contributing munitions and now troops to fighting in Ukraine compared to South Korea which hasn’t. So I wouldn’t be surprised if North Korea is concerned that South Korea could launch a surprise attack while North Korea’s defenses are weakened. Not that South Korea would attack, just that North Korea is worried about it.

        It should be made clear in your comment that they’re not aiding Ukraine, they’re invading Ukraine under Russian leadership.

          I worded the sentence such that it was only discussing which countries were being a belligerent in the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. I didn’t want to imply that South Korea would help invade Ukraine.

    Best Korea finds itself in the same position as Iran: weakened by their ally Russia not only being unavailable, but soaking up all the good munitions (and in this case, troops).

      Oh, wow, South Korea is twice their population these days. Idk but I always kind of assumed they were at least equal.

    I thought they mostly got provocative when they wanted food as part of some truce agreement.
