I don’t think anyone wants a hot war in NK, and I’m not sure what good it would do.
Europe needs to (and should have) get off their butts and send every piece of hardware they have to Ukraine though, even cutting edge ones. Maybe even enforce a no-fly zone. As I keep asking, what are they waiting for… Spain to invade France? No, they built all this stuff to deter Soviet aggression, and its just sitting there, rotting instead of doing its job. If Ukraine would have stayed secure, they basically would never have to worry about this again.
Now they have no excuse. Russia clearly has no shame. And it’s almost (but not quite) too late.
Bombing a few prominent military installations in NK could teach their leader a valuable lesson and cause dissent among his sheeple. They probably think they can be safe while joining the war and need a wake up call
Because placing putin in a completely unwinnable position will greatly increase/hasten the likelihood of nuking Ukraine and possibly other areas of Europe into a sheet of glass.
With the only saving grace being that he’s actually like a hesitant coyote not big enough to take a combined Europe, but with a bomb strapped to its chest.
What’s your solution then? It’s a fair enough concern that Putin backed in to a corner is going to become even more unhinged and throw some nukes around, no?
It seems the only option down that path is to accept that the endgame here is having all of Russia, and at least one other country, nuked.

And then they bomb SK in retaliation and cause a huge mass casualty event, along with a war in Asia.

Yeah, well, this is what everyone thought in Georgia, and Ukraine in 2014.
He’s not going to change. His chosen successor probably won’t either.
It’s the weirdest philosophy. Can’t shoot the grizzly bear, that might enrage it and cause it to maul us faster.

You are right, we have to give putin more ground so next time he does this shit he will… have more power? Are you sure this math of yours is working?
