The deal was made as the Russian president visited North Korea for the first time in 24 years, a visit that showcased their personal and geopolitical ties with Kim hugging Putin twice.

South Korea’s presidential office on Thursday condemned an agreement reached by Russia and North Korea that vowed mutual defense assistance in the event of war and said it will reconsider its policy of limiting its support to Ukraine to non-lethal supplies.

The comments by a senior presidential official came hours after North Korea’s state media released the details of the agreement reached between its leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin during their summit on Wednesday in Pyongyang.

The North’s official Korean Central News Agency said the deal requires both countries to use all available means to provide immediate military assistance in the event of war.

The office of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol issued a statement condemning the agreement, calling it a threat to the South’s security and a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions, and warned that it would have negative consequences on Seoul’s relations with Moscow.

    What Finland should do, is “invade” Ukraine. And they take over all the areas that russia control. Take them in the name of Finland. So at this point, they are Finland occupied, but still part of Ukraine.

    Now if Russia comes in, they risk engaging in battle with a Finland occupied territory…a NATO territory.

    Crimea might be a bit trickier…because it’s no longer considered part of Ukraine.

    But then after the war ends, Finland occupies all of Ukraine. But not in a threatening way. Just to make sure russia doesn’t come back.

    Now if Ukraine on their own want to take back Crimea, they can…but I can’t see that being a NATO thing.

    And why would Finland do any of this? Well…it’s russia. Fuck em.
