I’m suspect of the reporting of this.
As soon as I saw the details of the Russian/NORK Alliance, I knew this and more was coming. At least they call their Article 5 Article 4. What we are doing by attacking Russia proper can easily be construed in such a way as to necessitate the invocation of Article 4 and massive NORK commitment if desired by Russia. You must remember, Russia is busting the world wide, including China, sanctions against the NORKS. The Russians will, quite literally, keep thousands of Koreans from starving and bring the NORK population into the 21st century. The NORKS will also gain enough Russian nuclear technology to never fear of a preemptive attack again. The NORK standing army stands at 1.3 million.
