Ukrainian president calls on countries to step in before troops sent to Russia by Pyongyang reach battlefield
Ukraine’s president urged allies to stop “watching” and take steps before North Korean troops deployed in Russia reach the battlefield, while the army chief said his troops were facing “one of the most powerful offensives” by Moscow since the full-scale war began.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy raised the prospect of a pre-emptive Ukrainian strike on camps where the North Korean troops are being trained and said Kyiv knows their location. But he said Ukraine can’t do it without permission from allies to use western-made long-range weapons to hit targets deep inside Russia.
“But instead … America is watching, Britain is watching, Germany is watching. Everyone is just waiting for the North Korean military to start attacking Ukrainians as well,” Zelenskyy said in a post late on Friday on the Telegram messaging app.
It is highly unlikely North Korea will cross the Ukrainian border. Putin can let them do defense while Russians do the offense. As we have learned in the middle east, defending and enabling war criminals does not equate being complicit in their war. Don’t ask me how that works.
So having western troops in Ukraine should also be fine if they stop at the russian border right?
This will start ww3.
Sorry but Ukraine is not my problem, no matter how the military industrial complex tries to push the narrative.
The rise of ductators who want to seize other countries’ territories is your problem, and the sooner it’s stopped, the better it is.
When will it become your problem? I think you’re a US citizen so probably for you Lisbon (in Portugal, extreme West of Europe) could have Russian troops in it and you still wouldn’t care, right?
Well, thinking this way has proven to be so wrong because sooner or later you will be the next in line.
It wouldn’t start ww3, Russia is a joke power, they’d fold faster than superman on laundry day.
They are not serious people.
If the sentiment is that they won’t you’d better just sucker punch them. I mean, the whole world wasn’t expecting Russia to invade, especially at the time they decided. If they’re in Russia they’re fair game imo. It’s war, don’t offer concessions, if you can kill them in their sleep you just do it and you’re glad it wasn’t you first. Nightly drones now, or air raid sirens all night later, such is life
I’m pretty sure they also thought he’d get spanked relatively quickly, and backpeddle within like a year after he lost enough war criminals and starving peasants who participated in his “special military operation”.
And it’s still going.
We really would be foolish at this point to make any more “It’s unlikely that…” assertions at this point… It’s all out crazy town now.
