Let's be honest, what are the mutual benefits for both sides. The russians will get a bunch of clowns to be minesweepers and the nk's will have alot less mouths to feed, because they aren't coming back.
Seriously? That statement qualify s you to work on the Whitehouse staff. NK is just a small part of a bigger picture that some cant seem to notice.Let's be honest, what are the mutual benefits for both sides.

Expect NK to act up at the same time china moves on Taiwan and Iran on Israel.
Expect a few thousand NK "advisors" to get a masters level curriculum on modern peer to peer engagement that they will bring back with them to share and update NK doctrine for attacking the south.
Ukraine is a great comparison to the Spanish civil war pre WW2. It was used as a live battle lab to study and learn from.
The US cannot possibly manage all these separate theaters effectively with our current military, manufacturing and logistics.
Napoleon once said, ""lost Territory I can regain, lost Time ,I cannot"" If the enemy can destroy your weapon systems faster than you can replace them , somewhere down the road your going to have a a major problem . A problem even money can't solve.
Seriously, your response shows that you have proven yourself to be nothing but a putin apologist. What you haven't noticed is that NK has been a small part of a bigger picture since 1950.Seriously?

Did they? I believe the goal of that invasion was to unite Korea into 1 country under communist leadership. So if you look at things in 2024 did that happen?You need to be reminded how a bunch of clowns in pajamas with junk boat navy won the war 50 years ago.
We could have had 10 new aircraft carriers for the amount of aid we’ve given Ukraine.

Sure western stuff is better but tell that to the Ukrainian who can only fire 10 shells a day because he has no resupply when he's taking 100 incoming.
The Pajamas really gave it away.Kinda figured your arithmetic was wrong because the post was about NK or did you miss that.
Or fixed our ghetto cities, reshored manufacturing and repaired failing infrastructure.
I spit my drink out at this one.
Your my favorite brainwashed ex-soviet citizen to read.
A tiger or panther is superior to a t34 or a Sherman. But a tiger or a panther lose to 5 t34s or 5 Sherman's.
Only a moron is paying for rounds fired. What's important is targets destroyed.This is exactly what is happening in Ukraine
ANd the other targets you couldnt hit destroys your position and I move forward again. . What is happening is that trained people . weapons and ammo are being destroyed at a faster pace then can be than can replaced. The russian weapons themselves ane'nt bad . the Russian doctrine and officers leave a lot to be desired .So, if I can only fire 10 rounds, but I destroy 5 targets with that, and my enemy fires 100 rounds, 99 of them land in an empty cornfield, I'll take that every day.

You don't want to spend money to fire rounds.ANd the other targets you couldnt hit destroys your position and I move forward again. .

The monkey wrench in the gears for both sides was the effectiveness of cheap drone warfare and how to counter it.
Ok your going to have to clarify that for this moron. Nobody is paying for rounds?
You don't want to spend money to fire rounds.
You want to spend money to destroy targets.
Imagine you have 2 sales guys. One makes 100 calls a day and only makes one sale. The other guy only makes 10 calls, but he gets 6 sales out of it.
Obviously the second employee is the better salesman, and is far better for your company.

So, if I can only fire 10 rounds, but I destroy 5 targets with that, and my enemy fires 100 rounds, 99 of them land in an empty cornfield, I'll take that every day.
Plus, my 10 rounds can be delivered by a single truck with one driver.
My enemies 100 rounds need a whole convoy. That whole convoy needs to be supplied too.
The economy of that is huge.
The US hasn't moved to a wartime economy yet.
It's true, we're maxing out our "in our spare time" production. If things escalate as you suggest, we might need to get serious.
When the US gets serious, very impressive things happen. Should I remind you of the time we were building whole aircraft carriers at a rate of a couple dozen a year ? We were pumping out multiple other capital ships a day ?
We went from essentially nothing to over a billion artillery shells in just a couple years.
Russia signing an agreement with North Korea is a sure sign of weakness not strength. I can't believe what I'm reading. They might have numbers but they have no real experience whatsoever. Does anyone really think of north Korea as a goddamn military powerhouse? Seriously? Korean conscripts in Ukraine would be a sign of desperation by the Russians.
Hey, do you think the north koreans born and raised during the famine (you know, the ones that survived despite severe malnutrition) are just "itching" to go into combat? Is that fourth largest military really the well oiled machine you imply? The first world war proved that a good machine gun squad meant that numbers don't mean shit. Here we are over 100 years later and you think sheer numbers means a goddam thing? You were blind about the evils of the soviet union so it's logical you are blind to other things as well.North Korea has the fourth largest military in the world, which can be upgraded by the Russian missile technology. Curious to see how the transfer of long range missiles to Ukraine is coming along after this N.K./Russia treaty.
Not a lot of talk about new transfer of long range missiles to Ukraine anymore.

I call bullshit on that. The north koreans have been doing a circle jerk for 60 years. Lots of numbers and bluster but no real combat experience. Unless you call lobbing the odd shell and some sabotage teams experience. Despite the "fourth largest military" and "30-50" nukes they haven't even managed to secure their own isthmus. Yet they now will be killers and victors in ukraine. I'm not buying that at all.
The battle of Conoco fields says you're wrong. The Russians tried that and it turns our they got their asses kicked and the US troops were just fine.Your still looking at the problem wrong.
Say you have a a team of 50 of the best well trained marksmen delta force veterans . And the Russians attack their position from three sides with a division . You know what happens to those those troops? they all die . The russians take that Position and do it again. the Russians are victorious because they have achieved the objective set out for them by their command. Maybe your guys kill 20 to 1 , doesnt matter because they lost the objective . Now the next problem is where are you going to get another 50 delta force vets? Theres only so many.( I think 2k actually) They take years to produce You cant replace your losses while the Russians can .
Obviously your delta force guys are extremely efficient. but numbers matter too, and the quality of your defense has just declined by 50 top notch experts that you cant replace. You have better troops and training but your losing the war. You can only trade lives for territory until you run out of territory. Your efficiency doesn't = victory. You look at the numbers and come away saying we are far better than the Russians, but the Russians are taking and holding ground . Your going to run out of ground!
Correct! so the Russians hire 10 more salesman at one sale a day, who's winning? Obviously you have the better salesman, but my company is making more sales . Now your salesman is KIA or gets a better job which ever comes first. how are you going to replace him? the guys an expert, years of experience , You cant just take a guy off the street and expect similar performance
Your viewing the metric wrong. succcess on the battlefield isnt measured in lives or armor, its measured in ground taken and held.
Stalin's truism is correct. ""Quantity has a quality of its own ""
What happened to the vaunted German army in Russia? the Germans were not able to produce thier high end weapons and troops faster than the Russians could destroy them. The historic parallel is the same .
For some reason it doesn't click with you. the situation is that for the cost of a 5k drone (or much less) you can knock out a 5 million dollar tank . the drone can be produced at 10,000 a month, antitank missles at 1-2K per month vs 400 tanks a month , the math should be obvious .
Armors effectiveness on the battle field is limited until one side can produce an effective countermeasure
the secondary weapon is the infantry (rah) of which Russians have massive resources for and Ukraine does not
