That's not correct no, Russia dragged North Korea into the war, they didn't have a military alliance. Then it's taken seriously because it's an escalation of the war by Russia.

  I mean yeah, if you point Putin's visit only from a few months ago that's pretty much the definition of "dragged into the war". You should have a look at the date of your article first. That's also why North Korea bargained some goods in exchange of their support.

    you said > they didn't have a military alliance. Please just admit you were wrong. If you cannot do that then there is no point in responding to you.

      No, you were wrong here, they didn't have a defense pact and got dragged into the war in exchange for goods. Maybe you can point at some pre-existing defense pact to support your claims signed before the war but I'm not aware of any existing. It's possible that I missed it though but given that Putin flew in there when the situation got worse to negotiate their war support, I doubt they had one.

Incredible double standards at play here: Ukraine is helped by the US and most of the EU so since the beginning of the war it's not one country against another. It makes no sense to help a belligerent then cry that the opponent is getting help too. That help is coming in form of both armaments and training such as the AFU members training in France. All that with our taxes and without popular consultation...

  There's never been some foreign army officially fighting in Ukraine like North Korea does. Sure Ukraine got training and weapons from a lot of countries but so did Russia as well, now this is something new. I'd even say Russia just gave the green light for EU countries to replicate what Russia just did, they opened up the debate.

  Ukraine is helped by the US and other countries through supplying equipment, not fucking troops. Also, they got help since they were invaded, the help they get is for their own defence, not as an aggressor. It makes no sense for you to write all of this argument and not consider this simple latter point, an aggressor force wanting to annex sections of a different country is getting help from a 3rd party outsider to even deploy troops. Trying to fake a play as "both sides" is underhanded and shows quite well how immoral you are.
