South Korean Intelligence Sees Signs that Russia is Assisting North Korea with Upcoming Rocket Launch

If the North Koreans cannot get their rocket to work after receiving assistance from the Russians they might as well give up trying:

North Korea appears to have been receiving technical assistance from Russia over the launch of a military spy satellite, and there is a “very high” chance for the North to press ahead with it once the country completes fixing technical glitches, South Korea’s unification minister said Monday.

Unification Minister Kim Yung-ho made the remark during a meeting with a group of reporters amid speculation that North Korea is in the final stage of its preparations to make a third attempt to put a military spy satellite into orbit after its failed attempts in May and August.

“It is hard to predict when North Korea will make the third attempt for the launch. But there seem to be signs of the North receiving technical assistance from Russia,” Kim said in a meeting marking his 100th day in office.

Is this a surprise? This is America’s fault, for pressuring South Korea to arm Ukraine. The only ones who will be hurt by this will be the US, who will be the target of North Korean missiles assisted by Russia. This doesn’t change anything for South Korea, when it already faced destruction even without the new Russian assisted rockets that North Korea will be aiming at America.

“This is America’s fault, for pressuring South Korea to arm Ukraine.”

Korea is trying to be the value arms supplier to the world but when they get a chance to do it, America gets… blamed?

You are starting to look like a generic hater.

“The only ones who will be hurt by this will be the US, who will be the target of North Korean missiles assisted by Russia.”

NK isn’t targeting America. There is no gain in that. Talking loudly about being able to target America is the end of that benefit chain.

“This doesn’t change anything for South Korea, when it already faced destruction even without the new Russian assisted rockets that North Korea will be aiming at America.”

South Korea doesn’t face that kind of destruction. You should be more worried about NK collapsing and a few tens of millions of worthless people used to a gangsteropoly flooding south and setting up shop.
