Korean Ace Putin: Will the DPRK fighters be replaced by the Kremlin's "nuclear stick

South Korean Defense Minister stated that Pyongyang could send his troops to help the Russian Federation. The analyst Alexei Kush sees this in this, not in the nuclear threat, the next stage of escalation by Putin If you remember, I have previously written about the possibility of transferring the North Korean units to the front line in Ukraine.

I considered, first of all, the likelihood of military participation on the side of the Russian Federation of North Korean engineering units on the principle of "Northern Koreans dig - the Russians are fighting". Yesterday, South Korean Defense Minister stated that Pyongyang could send his troops to help the Russian Federation, since an agreement on a strategic union and mutual assistance was signed between these countries.

That is not a propaganda statement of the DPRK, but a rational assessment of the Minister of Defense of South Korea. How likely is such a scenario? In my opinion, the existing coordinate system is unlikely. This scenario is such a "ace in the sleeve" of the Russians, a step of escalation in response to some actions of the event. What kind of action, I will not specify, so as not to form your connotation with this risk.

Because many of us have rested for some reason as the next stage of escalation and literally hung up on it without noticing other threats. One of these steps may be the participation of the North Korean troops in the present war, given that the DPRK's Mobpoteental is one of the five countries. And these risks need to analyze, stop and be able to respond to them. The author expresses a personal opinion that may not coincide with the editorial position.
