These fools have military bases all over the world, and they complain about one alleged rather small deployment of NK troops to Russian territory, without providing evidence that it actually occurred. And even if it did, it would be in full accordance with a bilateral defense treaty and international law.

One political lever is the threat of any increased Western activity in China’s backyard, the Asia-Pacific region. Just last week, the EU sealed security pacts with regional powers Japan and South Korea.

The EU has no place in the Asia-Pacific. Who are these hypocrites to complain about alleged NK troops in Russia when they already have military activity in the Pacific... They need to put up or shut up.

EU doesn't have much anyway and is a paper tiger militarily. Last week a German frigate had to sail around Africa rather than through the Red Sea because it lacked hardware.

Who are they to whinge about security pacts when they are busy inking some themselves. More double standards.

You still in denial about this?

The EU has no place in the Asia-Pacific. 

Why not?

2 ( +4 / -2 )

No actual evidence has been provided.

If the EU belongs in the Asia-Pacific, NK belongs in European Russia.

No actual evidence has been provided.

Both the US state department and the South Korean Intelligence Service have confirmed that NK troops have moved to Kursk and begun engaging in combat operations with the Russian military.

Vague assertions by intelligence agencies hardly constitutes tangible evidence of anything.

Moreover, even if it is true - that is the territory of the Russian Federation and bilateral military exercises are no one's business. That includes counter-insurgency operations.

Isn’t China supporting the same side (Russia) as North Korea?!

Here is another manufactured "China bad" story that JT just laps up like a thirsty puppy.

Kim consulted with Xi during that brief opening when Trump and Kim were exchanging love letters. I do not believe Xi and Kim have met since then.

Nothing vague about it. They are solid statements that NK troops have been deployed and are in combat operations.

Moreover, even if it is true

It is.

that is the territory of the Russian Federation and bilateral military exercises are no one's business.

Exactly. The NK troops shouldn't be there.

Which is why China needs to get involved.

Why shouldn't they be there? (assuming for a second they are, of course)

LOL

What’s that annoying whining sound I hear? Oh yeah, hypocrisy.

Korean made shovels. lol

The first step would be to press China to stop supporting russia in the war on Ukraine, but short of Ukraine declaring war on China, I'm not sure what would make a difference.

These "fools" have kept and will keep russia and China in their boxes. NK should not be joining a war against Ukraine, no matter where it is fought.

EU doesn't have much anyway and is a paper tiger militarily

3x the population of russia and 10x the economy of regional power russia. The EU could probably take out the fascist state if nukes weren't an issue.

Moreover, even if it is true - that is the territory of the Russian Federation and bilateral military exercises are no one's business. That includes counter-insurgency operations.

Yes the famous military exercises where you might receive a live small arms, artillery, drone, and missile fire. Maybe that is how they do exercises in russia/nk.

Why shouldn't they be there? (assuming for a second they are, of course)

Because it is an active war zone. Why shouldn't NATO troops be in the Donbas?
