I'm not sure if this post should be included in Asia or Europe. I decided on Europe since that is where this war is being fought.
Russia and N Korea may have woken up a sleeping giant. S Korea has cash and they now probably feel threatened more than in years past with N Korea sending over drones of garbage, adopting an aggressive stance on the border and sending 10,000 special forces, not even just regular soldiers, to assist Russia.
Those who sit on the sidelines now just encourage a deeper hole of misery and horror to climb out of when WWIII begins.

South Korea is considering supplying "offensive" weapons to Ukraine in response to the strengthening of military ties between North Korea and Russia, officials said on Tuesday.
The move marks the strongest indication yet that South Korean troops and North Korean forces could potentially find themselves in direct conflict on Ukrainian soil should the situation escalate.
It comes after Seoul summoned Moscow's ambassador following intelligence reports about North Korea sending a force of 1,500 special forces to Russia this month to participate in the war in Ukraine.
A senior official from President Yoon Suk Yeol's office said South Korea is preparing the possibility of supplying lethal weapons to Ukraine in response to military cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow.
"We are considering supplying defensive weapons as part of a phased approach, and if necessary, we may also consider offensive measures," the official told reporters.

South Korea's National Security Council (NSC) said in a statement: "Our government called for an immediate withdrawal of North Korean troops, and if the current military collusion between North Korea and Russia continues, we will not sit idle and will respond sternly together with the international community.
