    To me, it does not seem wise to just let these two continue along this path, but I am certain there are numerous internet experts out there who can explain to me why we should not intervene.

      How would you propose the intervention happen? Sit Kim down and say “bad boy, stop it”?

      What can “the west” really do to prevent or stop troops from NK being sent to the Ukraine front?

      Russia isn’t going to stop them from crossing their border.

        Drop leaflets on them inviting them to surrender and upgrade their lives to South Korean national.

      You mean Russia and NK?

      Or you meant the two countries in the middle of illegal invasions: Russia and Israel?

        Fuck Israel, but that being said what the hell does Israel have to do with anything here?

          Israel and Hezbollah have been exchanging rocket fire, and Israel is talking about a ground invasion.

          Hezbollah has a defense treaty with Iran, Iraq, Russia, and another ME country I’m blanking on.

          If Israel invaded Lebanon in an attack on Hezbollah, that draws in Russia, and likely NK.

          Israel and Russia are the two countries invading others that I believe are the primary drivers towards WW3. NK is just a long for the ride until/unless they launch an attack on SK.

          But I think before that happens, we’ll solidly be in WW3. I think NK is onboard now, with the promise to be backed against SK later. No one is attack NK unless NK starts some shit, they don’t need a defense treaty.
