Russia Threatens South Korea If They Provide Military Aid to Ukraine
What is Russia going to do, fund the North Korean regime and assist them with their missile programs? They are already doing this:
Russia’s foreign ministry warned Wednesday that South Korea could face “security consequences” if it gets involved in the war in Ukraine, as Seoul has vowed to take “phased” measures in response to growing military cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow.
Maria Zakharova, the ministry’s spokesperson, issued the warning as Seoul announced its plan Tuesday to take the measures following its spy agency’s confirmation that Pyongyang plans to dispatch around 10,000 soldiers to support Russia’s war in Ukraine, including some 1,500 troops that it has already sent.
“They should think about the security consequences if it gets involved in the Ukrainian crisis,” she said during a press briefing through an English-language interpreter. “The Russian Federation will react on those aggressive steps, if our citizens are under threats, under peril.”

Of course, Russians are already helping NK to improve the technology to reach the Americas with their rockets. This doesn’t change anything for South Korea (since NK doesn’t need any improved ballistic missiles to destroy South Korea 5 times over). But this does change a lot for the Americans. Since SK and the US will be enemies right after the US election is over, let the Americans worry about it. There are no more reasons for South Korea to cooperate with the US in anything anymore.
