On Sunday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said at a dinner that the allies must stand ready for any provocations by North Korea, including a "Hamas-style surprise attack".

Lol

It is a shame that we have to worry about invasions of democracies from power crazed dictators.

They didn't invade Ukraine. That was Russia.

Nuclear dissuasion won’t work anymore. Once you have the nuclear heads, this is just to protect yourself from a nuclear countries nuclear heads. Nuclear don’t give any protection if you have not been attacked by a nuclear weapon. This is dissuasion not actions.

South Korea agreed to be nuclear bomb by USA is a way for her safety. That’s a bit risky. USA is very racist and a nuclear storm toward China by creating a war with North Korea is the Biden and friends type after what we have seen in Gaza.

South Korea need to be less naive about USA possible racist and colonial intents. If North Korea attack the south, this won’t be with a nuclear head that will create a cloud that come back on them. They will go conventional. And we know USA does the minimum you can pay for (overly I must add) in those case like in Ukraine.

So this strategy treaty seems to be poor and unwise.

So much nonsense in here, I struggle to think whether I should reply. 1) You have to have sizable visible minorities in your country to assess how the US is doing on race 2) Does SK have a defense treaty with the US and does it host tens of thousands of US troops in harms way?

No lol. Seeing Hamas defeat the Israeli border defenses with seeming ease and the use of ultralights made all kinds of conventional military leaders sit up and rethink their own defensive strategies. Seoul is awfully close to the DMZ. Consider how much larger the DPRK army is than the armed wing of Hamas, then picture them using similar tactics to breach the DMZ and attack Seoul and Inchon.
