“””Lastly tell me if a “red line” has been crossed by NK troops being used to fight Ukrainians in Russia, and therefore the door is now open for NATO troops to be used on the front lines?”””
I don’t even know what that means, what red line and what door would have to be opened?
Kim and Putin signed a defense treaty. If any nation attacks the other—the treaty pops in and the other signer must send help. Because Ukraine invaded Russia Proper at Kursk and occupied the place, it kicks in, as it would if South Korea invaded and held a piece of North Korea. It doesn’t apply to Ukraine Proper of disputed lands. If Ukraine pulls out of Kursk—The North Koreans would go home. Kim wants Russian good will, oil, gas, and grains. So far he has gotten what he wants. What did it cost him? a few hundred lives.
