South Korea is already suffer highest level of inflation, making it economically so difficult. In such a situation, besides russia's threat, it makes no sense to spend money on other countries.

speculation for positive clicks

As an American. I’ve been in Netherlands, Portugal and a few countries. Just talking to people at the bar in Lisbon. If Russia would invade Estonia or Finland. Would you want your kids to fight? The answer is always no. And these are NATO countries. Ukraine isn’t in NATO so what do we really expect. What about that Russian rockets that landed in Poland. Killed people. “We will have an investigation”. Drones are landing in Romania. NATO is weak! It’s a deterrent alliance. That is getting exposed. Waiting for USA elections right? US will help us no worries. DELUSIONAL.

Its BS that Russia wanna invade more countries. Right now, we are escalating towards WW3 and a global disaster for humanity, where millions died already. Just because of a few territories in the East Ukraine, where everyone speaks Russian anyway and because Black rock already bought 60% of Ukraines oil and minerals in those areas. This is insane and we need to stop this! Or there will be no Ukraine soon, and no West! We cannot win this! The entire world is against EU and USA now! And Turkey will leave NATO soon as well.... We will get our ass kicked, if we don't stop our politicians!

The Israelis won’t help Ukraine. They haven’t up to now, so why would they change tack. 😡

Again, great analysis with a balanced view. Thanks.

Russia has so much manpower. NK soldiers are there to get combat experience yes. And to strengthen military ties with Russia. To fight along each other will be very beneficial in a future war. Putin is a smart man. The war in Ukraine is close to over. Be done in less than 6 months. Trump is going to win. Putin is just thinking ahead.

Agreed entirely.

Looks to you that Israel plays by the rules? They care about UN resulutions etc?

I don't want North Korea attacking a European sovereign Country.What are we going to do about it Mr Starmer, Biden and Allies?

Torsten is sounding more and more like somebody who has listened to too much Putin propaganda. There are four main errors in this video. 1, "Russia may hand over technology to Iran/Kim Jong". Not may. Russia have handed over, is handing over and will hand over military technology to the dictators club. 2, "Israel must coordinate with it people and Usa". We have clearly seen that Netanyahu does what he is convinced will be best for him and his Israel and ignores parts of his people and goes against Usa, UN and is also willing to do this that is against rules of war. 3, "Israel can not do anything to deter Russia". Never underestimate Israel. Israelians are extremely crafty, ingenious and persistent. They keep surprising the world. They may aid Ukrainians to hit Putin when it hurts by infiltrating Putins inner circle and take down some of the leadership and there is only one thing Putin cares about and that is his personal safety. We have already seens Putin demolish one of his palaces cause he felt insecure there. 4, "Russia will always". No Russia will not always. As soon as the west takes this seriously for real it is game over for Putin. Usa Have many thousand F16s and Bradleys is storage doing nothing. We have seen what just a few Bradleys and not a single Us F16 have been capable of stopping Russias full force for 2 years. Russia have very little in store to bring up and they have to put 14year olds to work in their military production.

I mean South Korea were sending troops to Vietnam to fight Americans’ war for money, it’s within their tradition 😂

I appreciate this segment... I am pissed off also... thank you brother

IMO both South Korea and Israel can help with intelligence. And in the long term with weapons development. Maybe they can help there in the short term? I wonder if South Korea can't also help induce defection among the Nork soldiers. Especially after they find out the hard way that war is hell.

The US has 3000 M1A1 Abrams sitting in storage. Those are good tanks, but they are about 30 years old. The US will never use them and they cost money to store. So, why dont we send Ukriane 500 of them?'

Not a damn thing

💙

Israel has done essentially nothing to help Ukraine even before the current issues with Gaza and Lebanon so don't hold your breath. Also Russian Jews make up about 15% of the population of the country and just like in Russia, Putin and his actions are not unpopular with the majority of them. That puts a political pressure to at least not act directly against Russia. And lastly in the Russia-Ukraine conflict Russia is the bigger stronger country trying to occupy and erase it's smaller neighbour and in the Israel-Palestine conflict Israel can't honestly say it's in Ukraine's shoes.

Xi is sending in the infiltration force, he wants Siberia, he needs a victory, he's spent all this money on a Military, and nobody to use it against, his star will fall if it rots into obsolete. Taiwan is a NO-GO, the USN 7th Fleet and Friends make that a dicey operation. Putin is weak, he's drained Siberia of troops/equip. You will NOT see a NK soldier dead in the Ukraine, except for the ones that are necessary to keep up the ruse. The Chinese Taiwan "Exercises" this week are a deception OP. Putin is a Dumbfck, his worst enemy is not Ukraine or NATO.

They have been shipped, but will they fight?

the west needs to push our government to help. or our slow, cowardly government won't act willingly. and... people in the west please know this.. you have Nato and nuclear weapon. russia threat is a lesser meaning to you, comapre to us. North korea have nukes(we don't) and the world largest chemical weapons in the world(5--6000 tons) and even China.(they 100% will join the war if the North is losing. ) it was crucial for us to not get Russia relate to the next korea war to come.

You need to go back to right after Oct 7, and see the Israel government member saying they would come for Russia after Hamas.

Thumbs up on the video because your channel is great. And I like these analysis videos in addition to your situation reports. But in this case I think your analysis is correct in what you cover but I think fails to account for how this may affect political views and public opinion in the Western alliance.

Is there any nation willing to send troops to help Ukraine ?

Ukraine's natural resources will be a delight for the EU: the Dniepro-Donetsk shale gas basin alone was evaluated worth no less than $10 trillions by Chevron in 2011

Once I saw that there was a really good chance of trump winning and knowing that trump hates Ukraine and will immediately begin pressuring Ukraine to surrender shortly have he wins, long before he takes control, it has been hard to focus on the war. Anyone who thinks trump can't withdraw from NATO doesn't understand that all trump has to do is say that he won't defend any NATO country,,

Cannot the west assist Ukraine with medical support even emts. Could they not protect medical facilities wit their own air defense without escalating?

I assume that Russia is paying the salaries of the DPRK soldiers. How much of the DPRK soldiers' Russian army salary goes to Kim Jong Un? Will the DPRK soldiers in Ukraine get paid at all? Are the soldiers from the North Korean trusted class, the distrusted class, or the prisons? How will the DPRK keep the soldiers from defecting to South Korea from Ukraine? Is South Korea prepared for mass defections of DPRK soldiers to South Korea through Ukraine? Will South Korea send people to Ukraine to handle DPRK defectors?

Don't worry Biden will issue more sanctions against both Russia and North Korea for this.

1. N. Korea is 100% Chinese puppet state. CHINA is dispatching N. Korean troops to fight Ukraine. Consider what else that implies. 2. Ukraine IS NOT Danzing. Russia IS NOT Nazi Germany. Russia want to sell gas to Europe, not conquer it. Russian boogeyman argument is silly.

I don't believe that NK soldiers are going to amount to much in Ukraine. They will defect for a candy bar. That has happened.

Good commentary. Besides, Israel is pretty busy right now and cannot spare any weaponry. The South Koreans maybe "busy" pretty soon, if the Norks decide to invade, or even make some hostile movements. Those countries are essentially trapped by their geography, against fundamental suicidal enemies...

Not sure what the point of this video was. It's obvious that neither Israel or South Korea would ever send troops. I have major issue with your comments re Israel following international rules unlike Russia. To be clear, Israel's war crimes & crimes against humanity make the Russians look like choir boys in Ukraine. When Israel is found guilty of genocide at the ICJ, you can never say I never knew. The evidence is there. Suggest you acquaint yourself with some Amnesty International & Human Rights Watch reports together with some brilliant Al-Jazeera documentaries. There is a brilliant one on Israel's hospital attacks & the military strategy behind this. Another one shows the war crimes filmed by Israeli soldiers themselves. Suggest you educate yourself.

The K9 SPH from S Korea is the heavy weapon that Putin fears most

I wonder how many NK soldiers will see this as an escape/defection opportunity. In any case, I see a serious language barrier.

South Korea has the economic and industrial engine, to be a real ally and help out, the other country mentioned has its hands full trying to keep their regime in power and get a fascist elected in the US.

Ukraine is slowly being forced to develop plutonium weaponry. No one can be trusted to help Ukraine with maximum conventional weapons and boots on Ukrainian ground. The West has such poor testicular fortitude to the point of criminal negligence. Shame upon them all.

Why does Ukraine has history treated this way?

Preach it like it is brother!

I think both Israel and South Korea are likely to build up the R&D development in partnerships in Ukraine. They both will want to gain the weaponry developments needed to defeat the weapons they might face in war. They can only really be on the forefront of weaponry development if they working in partnerships in Ukraine. So I expect they will share their expertise which will remain invisible other than the results.

If your message is pessimistic, then please make your thumbnail pessimistic. I would be sincerely grateful if you would no longer put unrepresentatively optimistic messages in your thumbnails to persuade us to click on them. It’s clickbait.

Thanks Torsten ❗ I am a *Ronald Reagan* republican and support Ukraine 100%. Sad to see too many forgot the horror of the cold war, and refuse to see that KGB Colonel Putin will bring back those horrible times. That said, Biden and Kamala both refuse to take this seriously enough, dragging their feet, too little too late. That said, *Trump,* even with all his negatives, is still 1000 times better than commie leftist alternatives. None of this did happen when *Trump* was in charge, and none of this would have happened if the lefties hadn't stolen the 2020 election from *Trump,* who said he threatened Putin, with credible threats. This has gotten really ugly, and there is no solution unless the entire west wakes up and bands together against the forces of evil. Sadly, this is bound to get much worse before it can wake up enough of the west to get them off their behinds and fight, fight, fight against these evil commies.

Man, this is BS.

what alot of pish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for this analysis.

Biden will ask for a ceasefire and trump will sell out Ukraine for a partnership with Russia.

israel is busy consolidating its freshly stolen land and preparing their final purge of the ghetto of Gaza.

I think that practically, the way that smaller powers provide aid to Ukraine is through military industry and intelligence rather than overt action. Korea will likely respond by opening their artillery production more to Ukrainian and allied procurement. We will also likely see increased joint forces exercises in Korea and off the coast of the Korean peninsula to posture against North Korea. The idea being that an emboldened North Korea requires deterrence, and that deterrence will likely squeeze the degree of aid North Korea can provide Russia. Increased threat from western forces will squeeze the amount of ammunition North Korea is willing to draw down to sell to Russia. On the Israeli side we will likely see a softening of Israel's stance on weaponry exports to Ukraine. Perhaps not in the realm of direct sales, but rather in not blocking the sales of certain Israeli produced components, many of which are sitting in European stockpiles. Israel's role is in its expanding conflict with Iran and its proxies. The more pressure Israel places on Iranian planners, the less room they have to draw down stockpiles for sale to Russia. Iran already expended a large percentage of its ballistic missile inventory recently in its conflict with Israel, which places pressure on the Iranian missile pipeline to Russia. Basically, the role that Israel and South Korea will play in aiding Ukraine will be indirect, and via their already existing conflicts. The idea that Israel or South Korea are in a position to provide financial or military assistance to Ukraine is likely silly. But providing more cooperation and deterrence is already a massive help from where we used to be.

Shows the weakness of Russia

At the moment these N.k soldiers while in Russia are as far from the front that is possible. I don't expect Israel will do a whole lot for Ukr. as Netanyahu is keeping his job by keeping his nation at war, I don't know how much S.Korea has to give staring down N.Korea.
