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.
It’s almost like Ukraine is better than NK, from a moral and logical perspective. Ukraine isn’t starving their own people, nor are they “disappearing” the local Muslim population á-la China. They’re simply defending themselves.
Edit: Israel didn’t even need soldiers, Palestinians didn’t even have weapons to defend themselves and are starving to death, so money and weapons will do the work to continue with the genocide.
Huh? In what way was what I said a “slippery slope”? This article is literally talking about NK sending troops to Ukraine. I wasn’t even the one to bring up NATO or the US in the first place.
I wholeheartedly believe Palestine should be freed and that we shouldn’t be supplying weapons at all. The genocide is disgusting. But at least the US isn’t using US troops, nor are they doing trade deals to send more poor people into Gaza (like NK and Russia are doing in this article, except in Ukraine instead of Gaza).
I don’t think anyone is saying they shouldn’t be allowed to do it; just that they think it’s going to go poorly
Also I would add that it’s a moderately dire sign as far as the state of Russia’s manpower levels. Every country at war desperately wants more soldiers at all times but some desperates are more desperate than other desperates.
Financial support and sending foreign soldiers directly to the frontline are two very different kinds of involvement. Imagine the Russian freakout if NATO actually sent soldiers to fight in Ukraine. Maybe the North Koreans will actually speed that process up.
If China directly supports Russia NATO will throw sanctions on them and that will hurt China. China is supporting Russia, but they are walking a find line as China cannot afford to make NATO mad. (NATO also will hurt, which is why NATO is looking the other way, but how long will NATO put up with China is an open question)
If US and NATO are supporting Ukraine I didn’t see what’s the problem if China and North Korea support Russia…
You don’t see the difference in supporting a country defending itself from being invaded versus aiding a country that is invading?
They probably don’t see it, no.
Tankies are too busy being edgy to care about glaring nuance.

According to you logic US it’s supporting Israel so I believe your “moral” and “logic” is pretty twisted…
The US isn’t sending troops into Gaza. This story is about NK sending troops into Ukraine. It’s not hard to see the clear difference.
Nice slippery slope…

Best to block and move on. There’s no useful dialogue to be had - many have tried.
Sorry but sending arms or soldiers is equally bad
It’s definitely not.
There they are! The gENoSiDe JoE contingent. Still a bunch of y’all wandering around unblocked. Not to worry!

All the west should sanction China. But we need to have toilet paper production back onshore first.
