It is quite simple.

North Korea for whatever reason, launches a Nuke against a NATO Country, that Nuke lands and explodes. North Korea ceases to exist.

If China and Russia want to get involved in that thereafter, then it's a total end-game for everyone.

It would be better, that China and Russia... being of somewhat saner minds, get involved, and prevent the problem before it arises.

deescalate and meet halfway...

As usual North Korea is protected by China and Russia. Of course they created North Korea in the first place.

Made me laugh. Last week USA ordered SK to give offensive weapons to Ukraine. This week they are begging Russia to stop NK.

The United States hasn’t “ordered” the South to give anyone anything.

So chuckle away, Rod.

And both Russia and the prc signed off on the resolution making these launches illegal and sanctionable.

They just don’t enforce their own words. The Russians because they need Kim’s crappy ammo. The Chinese because Kim’s collapse would bring democracy right up to the Chinese border. Can’t have that now, can we?

So, not a both side thing. Not by a long shot.

“South Korea to Sell Arms to U.S. for Ukrainian Forces Fighting Russia”

so that they can disingenuously claim the arms are from the USA and not SK.

What law did NK violate ?

What law did NK violate ?

Perhaps a bit of research prior to asking a question this thick?

The DPRK is a signatory to the UN charter. That charter states that any UN resolution has the force of law and commits it to obey said resolution. There is a UN resolution passed by the Security Counsel forbidding the DPRK specifically from testing or otherwise launching ballistic missiles. The DPRK ROUTINELY VIOLATES that resolution. Thus it is in violation of the law.

You’re welcome.
