  1. And what exactly would you do? Sign a military agreement to arm the North Koreans? Oh wait…

  3. Oh dear is he throwing Teddy bear threats again…all bear no substance

  5. This man is just pathetic.
    Every other word coming out from his mouth just proves it.

  6. Putin‘s not much of a threat any more, now is he? What are you gonna do invade? Share your arms with NK? you failed miserably on regional stage now you’re ready to go global?

  10. Their response almost always ends up with a neverous looking general on kremlin tv: 

    “…things are quite difficult for ours in the SMO with these new weapons [completely fucking us sideways], but our equipment is superior and we will he victorious in one decisive battle any day now…”

  13. When putin warns not to do something, that’s a good sign that you should do it.

  14. Let’s see exactly what the world-renowned architect of the special 3 day military operation and 5D chess geopolitical grandmaster strategist and mega-genius tactician has up his sleeve this time, shall we?

  16. It’s crazy how similar Putin sounds to Kim Jong Un since the war started. South Koreas been dealing with bull shit threats from bad neighbors for over 70 years. Fact is he just pissed off one of the top 5 weapons manufacture in the world.

  18. What’s he gonna do, ship arms to north Korea whilst great fighting a major war? Fat chance. Pissing off Seoul is dumb, they’re a stronger nation than practically any European one and are one of the few western aligned countries with a very large defence industrial base

  20. I wonder if he sees that as an option to bring the US into the war without NATO. The US and SK have the Mutual Defense Treaty, so attacking SK would bring in the US, likely without the ability to raise Article 5. He also could call in his new NK Daddy to light the fuse.

    Edit: this is all *if* he decides to make good on one of the hundreds of red line threats he’s made. My money is on him just rolling over again, though.

  22. Uhm, dude, you’re the one allying with the unhinged dictator because you fucked up. You’re in no position to dictate if SK helps out a fellow democratic nation from your genocidal invasion.

  23. One day he will act on all these threats and then he will regret it.
