You implying wrong, in any war scenario between NK and SK...SK wi be on the high table of the most bleeped.



If you think US and NATO will be so stupid to attack NK because of SK then you can believe anything.
The USA would defend SK,
It not about foolishness, the USA is mandated to defend south Korea, it is in the defence Pact they signed.
That was the reason the USA defended south Korea during the korean war.

The USA also have such mutual defence Pact with Japan.

Also the you should Google the south Korea military, they have one of the most technological advance military in Asia,
What they lack in manpower they make up for good tech and equipments.

Nawao.... This thread must be very addictive! Someone came to this thread to take a quick look and got hooked for months now. Now I wonder if they've quit their job (if they had one) to focus on this thread and defend the West

You were referring to me here, although you didn't mention me,
You practically called me a jobless fellow.

This decision follows the Danish foreign minister's earlier statement that the necessary conditions for an independent Palestinian state were not met.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. If NK attacks SK, nobody would come to their rescue, not Putin, not Xi. Nobody. except they are acting on orders and those that can give the orders are more conscious bout their own territory.

Your assumption of NK fighting alone only exists in your head...not wheeled into reality. China

Tiopii:

The best they would get would be public ouutcry maybe in parts of China and Russia.

And you know this how

Tiopii:

NK would be pounded. SK would take significant hits too but everyone knows who would recover faster and be back stronger.




Recover from what

From your analysis of the pro-purpose war between both nations. I would like you to at least give me an instance of why you think NK will be pounded while SK will come out strong.

⚡Former President of Ukraine, Zelensky said Biden's decision to skip the peace summit in Switzerland "not very strong."

"I would very much like President Biden to attend the peace summit in person. With all due respect, I consider the decision not to attend to be not very strong. I believe that President Biden is needed at the peace summit and is needed by other leaders who look to the US for a reaction," Zelensky said in Brussels.

He noted that he still does not know who will represent the United States at the event.

"His absence will only be applauded by Putin, personally applauded by Putin, and standing," the Ukrainian dictator added.

⚡EU MINISTERS TO DISCUSS UKRAINE'S PLAN TO ATTACK RUSSIA:

A discussion is being held today by EU defence Ministers to explore the "risks of escalation" surrounding Ukraine's plans to carry out strikes on military assets on Russian soil.

The meeting comes after NATO's chief gave Ukraine the green light last week to do whatever it pleases to Russian territory in the name of self-defence.

Germany and Italy formally opposed the idea after Russia warned the West about severe consequences should Ukraine attempt to realize the agenda.

⚡Sweden is being asked to postpone its plans to send the Jas Gripen fighter aircraft to Ukraine by other countries in the air defense coalition.

This decision is to prioritize and focus on the introduction of the American F-16 fighter jet in Ukraine. The F-16 is already pledged by Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway, with the first deliveries expected this year.

Sweden's Defense Minister Pål Jonson states that while the Gripen may become relevant in the future, the current focus is on implementing the F-16 program.

Slowly but surely.

Russia has lost control of the war, the West would be a major factor in how and when the war ends.

Imagine how fatal it would be Russia if the West allowed Ukraine strike Russia. After 2 years with limited range, Ukraine is still in it.

I really hope Ukraine does it so this can escalate and that pathetic Uk can be dealt with... First is that all the coordinates of the strikes are being picked by NATO cos it's their satellites and weapons, Ukraine is just a puppet that pulls the trigger.

You are asking if the USA is willing to sacrifice any of its cities for SK,
The question you should be asking is this will any nation be willing to engage a nation under the USA "nuclear umbrella"


Do you know what a nuclear umbrella means??
Why do you think they are USA nukes scattered around Europe
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_umbrella

Before you write something off you should research the USA navy seventh fleet is headquarters in yokosuka in Japan

The Japanese military are not allowed to have offensive weapons because of the Pact they signed they basically handed over there security to the USA



Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan

Now that you know what the USA nuclear umbrella means to countries like Japan and south Korea

The question you should be asking is, is Russia or China or NK willing to turn their cities into radioactive waste land attacking a japan housing USA military personnel whose security Pact enables the USA to use nukes on their behalf?

That's the question you should be asking ??
