S Korea May Get Involved in Ukraine War

[WestCanMan]

• From Sky News:
• "The [Biden] administration responds by lifting this restriction. North Korea sends more soldiers. South Korea is now saying it may get engaged."
• He spoke about Mr Trump getting "both sides to the table" to end the war - despite Vladimir Putin signalling any negotiation would mean Russia keeping the land it has occupied in its invasion. @CdnFox

Well I guess it's the only way the South Koreans could actually fight North Koreans without having to have their own country at war.

It would be a bit of a turning point. North Korea and Russia is a bit of a bad fit because of language barriers and other things, but South Korea and Ukraine have commonalities because of their connections to the Americans. A lot of ukrainians speak English and a lot of South Koreans speak English. They use compatible weapons and they use compatible tactics.

I wonder how serious they are?

How many S/N Korean weapons can kill N/S Korean soldiers in Ukr and Rus before there's a retaliation in N or S Korea? 

Even just this rhetoric about SoKo getting involved to directly oppose NoKo is a major escalation along that N/S Korea fault line. How can it not be?

"If your soldiers kill our soldiers over there, that's ok. It won't affect our relationship one bit" - said no one, ever.

Historically indefinitely. The more serious threat is dragging out a war that really should be coming to a close soon for another several years for no terribly good reason.

Well I don't know that they would actually be specifically set to fight only the North Koreans. Outside with wind up using that battlefield as an opportunity to fight their own differences if they got a chance but I don't think it would spill over to their own countries. If there was any danger of that they would be pulling their soldiers back immediately to protect their homelands

Actually it's been said throughout history. Consider the russian invasion of Afghanistan back in the day. even the Flying Tigers didn't provoke a response from Japan, that would come later with the Japanese plans for expansion. The Spanish Civil War saw just about every nation jumping in with military hardware and yet it didn't result in hostilities outside of that theater. Russia and Chinese soldiers fought in Vietnam, especially the Chinese and yet no war broke out between china and the us. In fact speaking of Korea, that same thing happened in Korea. The Chinese invaded Korea in order to drive the Americans back from the border and no hostilities broke out between America and China outside of that theater. Or any other of the allied countries. 

So there are many historical examples where conflict within theater between two countries hostile to each other did not spread outside of that theater.

But the injection of fresh troops to the Ukrainian side would definitely cause the war to be extremely extended. It might be better if both sides were amicable to a solution. On the other hand perhaps the thought of ukraine seeing more fresh troops would drive the Russians to pressure Putin to sit down and negotiate

Of course, you were nowhere to be found to criticize North Korea getting into the war to support Russia and get a mutual defense treaty with them. 

Funny that. 

According to you, that means South Korea should have launched a full scale invasion and war against North Korea.

No matter how you slice it, Biden's wars are escalating at a crazy pace right now. 

It was a terrible escalation when NoKo joined, and if SoKo joins it's about 4x as bad. 

It's terrible that the US and Germany are fanning the flames in Ukraine/Russia, and now Israel is bombing right inside Beirut. 

You have to go back to the Cuban missile crisis to even come close to a time when the world was this close the WWIII, and every day it gets worse.

Funny, that you only say this about North Korea now. How is it even worse if South Korea joins?

When you boil down your stupid arguments here... we are left with any response to Russia invading Ukraine is terrible... you just want Russia to win.

Then maybe you should not support Russia and their war.
