Seoul demands North Korean troops leave Russia immediately
South Korea tells Russia's ambassador they are prepared to respond with "all measures available".
South Korea has summoned the Russian ambassador, seeking the "immediate withdrawal" of North Korean troops which it says are being trained to fight in Ukraine.
About 1,500 North Korean soldiers, including those from the special forces, have already arrived in Russia, according to Seoul's spy agency.
In a meeting with the ambassador Georgiy Zinoviev, South Korea's vice-foreign minister Kim Hong-kyun denounced the move and warned that Seoul will "respond with all measures available".
Seoul will “respond with all measures available”.
Perhaps the law that forbids arms exports to warfighting countries could be re-examined? Wouldn't even need to toss the whole thing, a new law could probably be passed to create an exception.
I'm sure some of S Korea's gigantic reserves of 155mm would make a very significant difference.
Or, a few battalions of those shiny K2 Black Panthers, which Poland signed a deal for an absolute shitload of a couple years back. This’d be outstanding battlefield testing for them, tbh.
I've been curious about this, since the United States and South Korea are both still at war with North Korea and the latter is sending troops into Ukraine, doesn't that mean that it's an active combat zone for both of us? Seems like all the pretext you would need to move troops into the area.
The United States is not at war with North Korea...
Yes we are.
NK is protected by China so no, no the US wont move troops into NK.
Not into NK
why does anyone in existence think that goose-stepping isn't the dumbest goofiest looking bullshit anyone's ever done? i say this in a world where dabbing and planking have been things
Have you seen the video clip of NK soldiers goosestepping to the sound of the song Staying Alive? It's funny!
I would think that fewer DPRK soldiers on the Korean peninsula, and more or them defecting, captured, wounded, or killed in Ukraine would be good for South Korea.
I think DPRK's hope is that at least some soldiers and officers will return with some modern combat experience, something that their military organization is dreadfully lacking. It could end up being a bigger problem down the road for ROK even if they lose a few thousand bodies.
South Korea prides themselves on threatening to destroy the relatively hostage North. The north can't do anything without the South's approval, or it gets wiped out.
It's not about practicality or safety, it's purely about punishing the north for wanting freedom.
Agreed, but on the flip side, they likely don't want the stain of this war on anything that can be termed "Korean".
OH SHIT UKRAINIAN K2s?!????? PLEASE YES PLEEEEEEASE
