Through its long war against Ukraine, Russia has received reinforcements from North Korea. Now, more of that is on the way. According to The Independent, which cited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, North Korea is preparing to deploy as many as 50,000 more soldiers to Russia. If true, that would represent an escalation of North Korea’s […]

            i don’t think there’s a single person on .ml that thinks russia is a communist country

            i would recommend you actually listen to people you disagree with, maybe you will learn something new

                no, this is a common misconception that people who critically support russia think it’s communist, because those kinds of people have never actually listened to what’s being said

    North Korea (or China) could probably just take Russia in it’s weakend state. However, I believe China will do it financially, not by sending soldiers.

      North Korea wouldn’t be able to move its forces into Russia. They do technically share a short land border that has a rail connection that would be pretty trivial for Russia to defend. It would be like trying to invade the US by landing in Alaska. And Russia could almost certinly eliminte DPRK’s forces quickly. And even if they made it to Moscow, Russia is likely to use nukes if they feel they’re under true threat of being overthrown. While many nukes would fail, many probably would not fail.

      Also, China would come down hard on North Korea’s stupidity.

        True. My thought was more like then sending a shitton of troops for “support” that then decide differently. However, that would probably also trigger like a nuclear response.
