minus-squareSplashJackson@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up23·3 months agoSurely an act of war, North Korea declare against Ukraine?
minus-squareNotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·edit-23 months agoIf it wasn’t, then nato countries could put troops in ukraine and then still invoke article 5 if Russia retaliated against them in their country.
minus-squareveroxii@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 months agoYeah surely someone itching to join in eg Poland can say “if NK doesn’t leave by x then we’re coming in. Just until NK leaves.”
minus-squareNotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-23 months agoSay something additional like we’ll only remain in ukraine, and won’t strike from our soil and I bet that’d be nearing acceptable to nato. If NK declares war though they’d probably have to leave to keep article 5 intact… but you could force the declaration.
minus-squarebouh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·3 months agoTechnically they’re helping Russia defending against Ukraine. That is something the West has not done, but they didn’t put a foot in Ukraine either. Russia needing help from NK to defend itself is quite the humiliation though.
minus-squareSplashJackson@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 months agoPretty sure Russia was the aggressor, so I think you might need to explain to my old ass what you mean by “defending”, s’il vous plait
minus-squarewoelkchen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 months agoEven pro Ukrainian sources say them being deployed only within Russian borders is technically fine under international law. That doesn’t mean that anyone sane is disputing Russia’s blame.
