I have been saying this for almost ten years. Why not? The DPRK could take Vladivostok, at this point it isn't a question it is realty. The DPRK has more tanks than Russia has troops in the Russian far East. How will Putin pay his bills?
At this point? Sure, but wouldn't a complete stop in trade between the two create another famine in the NK? Why would Kim willingly shoot himself in the foot?
>>65194111You drunk again Norktard? We've had this exact same thread from you dozens of times already
>>6519413717th time by my calculation. I keep track of of it. Same question every time: Could the DPRK defeat Russia in a war where the DPRKs objectives were to seize Vladivostok and establish naval dominance over Russia in the Pacific ocean? Could the DPRK defeat Russia in a land war?I think they could.
>>65194127Nixon went to China and met Mao. Trump went to the DPRK and met Kim. A USA/DPRK alliance is the geopolitical equivalent of utter doom for anyone who opposes them.
>>65194127Putin can't stop trade, if the Norks stop sending Russia shells then Russia will fall. The DPRK is in the position of having Russia as a Client State that cannot exist without their support**Being the DPRKs friend or ally is one thing, that's Ethiopia, Cambodia or Vietnam. Russia depending on the DPRK is not a good thing for Russia.
>>65194111Why would the country that's built itself off isolation and is getting everything they want want to expand? It's just endless problems for little gain. What does vladivostock gain them, really?>>65194165Could they sieze vladivostock? Sure. Naval dominance? Only because I don't think the Russian Fleet in the pacific is capable of operating without Vladivostock, and they are also... the russian navy, lol. They always lose.
>>65194238Vladivostok is like Manchuria, rightful Choson land. The Nork navy is easily capable of taking out the Russian Pacific Fleet by having their crews walk over the border, let alone the fact that the Norks can blast them off the face of the earth. The DPRK has more active ships in the Pacific than Russia does and more Armored/SP guns than Russia has soldiers. I would like to repeat that last fact: The DPRK has more armored vehicles in the Pacific East than Russia has soldiers.
if the DPRK thought their soldiers were disposable, we'd be seeing lots of them near Ukraine still. Given that they're not disposable, they're quite sensible in not embarking on stupid adventures.
>>65194289I mean, there's plenty of rightful Choson land right south of them too. Doesn't mean norks will do shit. Pissing off their biggest ally makes no sense.
>>65194111>Why doesn't North Korean turn on it's only friend who is giving them the first stable supply in oil they've gotten since the 90s to aquire a large russian population (an economic net negative)?Gee I dunno
>>65194303It is interesting that the Norks do not see their troops as disposable, they go out of their way to honor them and do so more than any other party to this conflict. They are also the only ones on either side who have not committed war crimes, that is something that should be noticed.>>65194316The Norks have no real allies besides a few real friends like Vietnam and Ethiopia, China and Russia are using them and they know it.>>65194344The DPRK has been sanctioned so long they can get along without oil, they get it from China and Iran not Russia. The current 5 year plan is to do massive amounts of coal gasification and bio-diesel, for once they have the money to actually pull off Juche.
>>65194111The area is actually traditional Chinese clay (at least according to the Chinese). My guess is that the Xi or whoever is in charge after is going to set their sights on that.
>>65194543Vladivostok is rightful Korean land, by the Kim's definitions all of Earth and the entire Universe are Choson land. The DPRK is a Monarchy, in theory any competent Monarch should strive towards universal supremacy.
>>65194111How and why?? more like Japan or China will
>>65194111Because - despite what you, in your piss jug driven madness, have convinced yourself - the DPRK has zero interest in provoking the Eastern Axis which it is a part of.Have you read any of the works on Juche? Have you read their party policy? Have you read even the fucking wikipedia page - since you clearly seem so lost - on who they are "friends" with for crying out loud?I honestly should have let this thread die but as someone who HAS read on Juche I want to take this chance to shit on you - to put it simply the DPRK will NEVER act in the interest of the United States, and will NEVER act against China or Russia in any meaningful context: at least not in a framework which is pro-western.I understand that your monarchist pro-western schizophrenic retardation is the only way that certain people allow your shilling on this board, but it doesn't reflect reality. Kim could march soldiers into Washington (as he is Ukraine!) and you would insist it is some 4D chess to secretly declare universal chonson rule or some BS.
