North Korean troops fresh crisis in Russia’s war against Ukraine

Russia may not have McDonald’s but the nation poses a terrible threat to the future of Ukraine.

The current war in Ukraine had become a stalemate until Russia added North Korean troops in astonishing numbers.

By the end of this transfer of troops, the North Koreans should have 80,000 men on the Ukrainian front. This boost is a vital chapter in the crisis, as it puts pressure on NATO to take decisive action against Russia.

Russia has called its ally to war, putting pressure countries opposed to the North Korean regime, such as South Korea and Japan, to reconsider their support for Ukraine.

Currently South Korea only supplies nonlethal aid to Ukraine, but because North Korea is now involved, South Korea may consider sending military aid.

TRUMP’S DECLARATIONS

Allegations against Donald Trump include corruption, tax avoidance, taking classified documents and mishandling them after his presidency and falsifying business records. Further alleged misconduct includes election toggling after the 2020 election.

But despite Trump’s pledge to Make America Great Again (MAGA), the US election result may turn the tables for a distant front: Ukraine war. Trump plans to withdraw support for Ukraine, which would devastating blow to the Ukrainian side. Trump may also oversee America’s withdrawal from NATO.

America retains its role as a lead superpower, with significant influence throughout the world. Now that Donald Trump has claimed the presidency, he is expected to be tough on North Korea and China. He has suggested he could broker a peace treaty with Putin, and many expect Trump to ask Ukraine to accept the loss of some territory to the Russians.
