Pyongyang Says It Will Send Support Troops to Ukraine Within a Month - Lemmy.World

I hope everyone that keeps down voting me for talking about WW3 are right…

But man, it really is starting to look like WW3

To me, it does not seem wise to just let these two continue along this path, but I am certain there are numerous internet experts our there who can explain to me why we should not intervene.

How would you propose the intervention happen? Sit Kim down and say “bad boy, stop it”?

What can “the west” really do to prevent or stop troops from NK being sent to the Ukraine front?

Russia isn’t going to stop them from crossing their border.

What can “the west” really do to prevent or stop troops from NK being sent to the Ukraine front?

Drop leaflets on them inviting them to surrender and upgrade their lives to South Korean national.

To be honest that’s likely the most effective. Though not very effective compared to threats against family.

upgrade their lives to South Korean national

Considering that North Korean defectors are a heavily discriminated against minority in South Korea, this is unlikely to be an attractive offer.

Considering that North Korea is literally the worse country in the world to live it, this is super likely to be an attractive offer.

worst* in*

And I dunno about that. North Korea’s average soldier age isn’t forty-five.

Nobody’s average soldier age is 45. Has nothing to do NK being rock bottom in country rankings. And the younger you are in NK, the more you are probably screwed.
The average age of Ukrainian soldiers fighting Russia is 43-45. Ukraine is almost certainly the worst developed country to live in right now.
The average age of Ukrainian soldiers fighting Russia is 43-45, while the youngest troops remain exempt from front-line combat

The exemption for men aged between 18 and 25 from front-line combat is motivated by a belief that they will be key to rebuilding Ukraine in the future, said lawmaker Serhiy Rakhmanin.

So like Poland was the worst country in Europe to live in at the start of WW2. Not because Poland was bad but because Germany and Russia were bad and would both soon be just as bad to live in as Poland.
