Intended to tell the USA that South Korea is on the menu if they get involved in Ukraine I’d wager.

That said … I can’t imagine either NK or Russia wants to be at the find out stage of that statement.

    That isn’t how defense treaties work.

    If you ask a russian there is a good chance they will tell you Russia is "defending" one thing or another in Ukraine.
    Or that russia is in fact defending itself from an attack from "the west" atm.
    It's all bullshit, but propaganda will do its thing.

    Nothing (russian) stopping NK from trying to "defend" some shit in SK as well.
    Off course they will then find out that Putins word is not worth the dickhole it came out of, but that's another story.
