Once dead North Koreans start showing up in Ukraine the ROK should open the arms spigot wide.

They have enormous amounts of reserve weaponry, munitions, and vehicles that are technically obsolete for their own army but would be super helpful to the Ukrainians. To say nothing of gaining access to SK's munitions production capacity.

I LOVE this turn of events and do believe it has the possibility of giving SK political cover to, as you put it, open the arms spigot wide!

Yea but if Trump win's he will probably export weapons directly to Russia and say it is good for the country since they (russian) are giving us cheap oil in exchange.

Yes, we all know that Republicans are for our enemies in WW3.

Russia's friendship with North Korea may have backfired

South Korea is furious at reports that North Korean troops will fight alongside the Russian military.

I think all the Russians are full of gas. They're also all hopeless romantics. I mean, this is the only logical explanation for all the deaths from balconies and windows.

The Russian walks to the balcony, admires the setting sun, when all of a sudden an explosive fart lifts him in the air, only to sadly fall to his death, from the 10th floor. So tragic.

Cabbage-based flatulence.

Checks out.

Probably top of Kyiv's list would getting some of South Korea's 3M+ deep stockpile of 105mm shells and hundreds of serviceable M101 howitzers. Also K136 MLRS and the associated 130mm rockets which are in ample supply.

Advisors and translators only at this point.
Probably, mostly, to pickup any NK POWs.
I do not expect SK to engage in combat so far away. It would make no sense. SK has no stake in Ukraine.

NK has no stake in UKR.

SK has a stake in reducing the number of NK goons.

There are SKers all over the world with experience and training that could form a unit or six in short order without draining SK regulars form the home bases.

How can you say that?
Russia is clearly paying them something in exchange.
It is also a direct benefit for a starving nation to have fewer mouths to feed. Losing men in meat waves is a net benefit to the Dictator.

SK is extremely isolated with no allied land route across Asia.
Transporting an army to Europe would... let us say... not be easy.
And who is going to pay them to lose men? I suspect SK's price would be a lot higher than NK.

^^ That's why I said they could form a unit in UKR with SK veterans, rather than transport from home.

US to provide $20B of $50B in loans backed by frozen Russian assets. Other G7 nations covering the rest.

There is no way they could ever reimburse Ukraine for the human loss.

The Genocidal freaks threaten everyone and everything. As always.
Russia must be met with the overwhelming use of force.
Ignoring the aggressor is not helping anyone survive the future.

Where is the deterrence against Russia's Genocide?
Where is the deterrence against Russia's empire building and colonialism?

Engage Russia in combat or watch the world slowly burn.

Russia threatens South Korea amid arrival of DPRK military – Russian media​

Details: Zakharova warned the Republic of Korea "of the consequences for South Korea's security that could result from the Republic of Korea's involvement in the Ukrainian conflict, if such decisions are made".​

I keep getting reminded of the MASH episode where Frank brings a gun to a prisoner swap. When he finally shows the pea shooter the NK officer sneers and chuckles 'What the hell is that?!!!
