President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has emphasised that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin is testing the world’s response to the presence of North Korean military forces in Kursk Oblast, observing that, so far, the reaction has amounted to “zero”.
What reaction is he expecting? Everyone has confirmed the troops are there. There really isn't anything economical anyone can do to North Korea that isn't already being done. And everyone is already sending money and weapons to Ukraine.
The US could start by allowing Ukraine to strike targets in Russia using US-provided long range weapons. That should have happened from the get-go. But it is something we can do today that would help.
The US election is paralyzing the presidency from making any big moves until it's over. I think that's why the NK involvement was timed to start now, and also why Israel chose to start their genocide now. It's a good time to start bullshit and not be punished for it.
