South Korea has summoned the Russian ambassador, seeking the “immediate withdrawal” of North Korean troops which it says are being trained to fight in Ukraine.
About 1,500 North Korean soldiers, including those from the special forces, have already arrived in Russia, according to Seoul’s spy agency.
In a meeting with the ambassador Georgiy Zinoviev, South Korea’s vice-foreign minister Kim Hong-kyun denounced the move and warned that Seoul will “respond with all measures available”.
Perhaps the law that forbids arms exports to warfighting countries could be re-examined? Wouldn’t even need to toss the whole thing, a new law could probably be passed to create an exception.
I’m sure some of S Korea’s gigantic reserves of 155mm would make a very significant difference.
And the US would quickly ensure Israel got its due
I don’t think the US can force S Korea to support Israel outside of conspiracy theory puppet-countries land.
The US forced the prohibition of marijuana and the ousting of an Australian PM.
It might be conspiracy but the US is currently arming a genocidal regime and aiding their land grab, so lets say they have form for both making pther countries do their bidding and supporting cunts in the name of democracy.
Source on the Australia stuff? That’s new to me.
Arming genocidal regimes is nothing new, the Leahy Law was created in the first place because these things were problems. Ultimately though, without that influence over Netanyahu, the Palestinians would be worse off, not better.
Netanyahu doesn’t need big bombs to starve a captive population, no matter how much people like to fantasize about Israel magically letting them all go as soon as arms are embargoed.
Or, a few battalions of those shiny K2 Black Panthers, which Poland signed a deal for an absolute shitload of a couple years back. This’d be outstanding battlefield testing for them, tbh.
