No, it doesn't. I think all of us participating in this convo know it's not good. I can just understand how maybe SK are feeling rather vulnerable right now and not seeing any countries they can trust to have their back if there is a real threat from DPRK right now.

We also need to remember that wars are no longer just physical attacks via bombs and troops, it's also technology attacks, on infrastructure, resources, economy etc. IF SK have seen evidence that some of the recent cyberattacks on them are coming from China or Russia, that'd be even more concern.

CaffeineIsLife @caffeineislife.bsky.social · 7h
And TBC I absolutely despise them supplying Russia, and this recent move regarding Ukraine. I just think there may be reasons for this, that only SK's gov and military fully grasp. The rest of us are just watching and speculating really. The current situation would make ME fearful if I lived in SK.

CaffeineIsLife @caffeineislife.bsky.social · 7h
I'm also just speculating, but I am kind of seeing a bit of how fearful SK may be at this current time, given DPRK constantly doing weapons tests, and Russia/US aligning. Would Japan, China, or any European countries come to their aid IF DPRK decided to start some fuckery? 🤷‍♀️

CaffeineIsLife @caffeineislife.bsky.social · 7h
SK's intelligence would have a far better idea of their risk than I would, but I can see how DPRK launching bombs off their coast would make them more nervous, especially if they fear that China or Russia may take NK's side.

CaffeineIsLife @caffeineislife.bsky.social · 7h
Valid points for sure in comparing their individual military capabilities. Jong Un isn't a leader who can be trusted to NOT resort to nukes, which is one area they may be concerned with. There's a lot of other things going on with NK and other countries such as Russia and China.

CaffeineIsLife @caffeineislife.bsky.social · 7h
I don't know how many people have been watching what kind of cyberattacks SK have been seeing lately, but there's been quite an increase this year. Honestly, their leadership must be getting rather terrified and feeling like they're backed into a corner with no safe path out.

The country is in a part of the world where it doesn't have a whole lot of allies who'd come to it's defense. Furthermore right now, the US certainly won't help either if Trump's pal Kim Jong Un decided to pull a Russia and just try and land grab all of SK. The US has shown it can't be trusted.

CaffeineIsLife @caffeineislife.bsky.social · 7h
Yes, this, at least in part. Tbc I absolutely despise any actions or statements from South Korea that go against Ukraine in any way. But I can also see how the country is getting immensely pressured and at a point when it's in serious danger of being overcome by DPRK completely.
