The dead last thing Vladimir Putin wants is Israeli know how being placed at the head of South Korea’s prodigious factory production line. But North Korean advisors have been in Russia for a while and now there are plausible reports of ground troops getting involved. South Korea can no longer demur in an effort to avoid trouble in their own back yard.
Seoul gets Iron Dome, South Korea gets some blueprints, and Iran/North Korea/Russia face battle tested systems flowing from deep production capability. I’d rather have peace and quiet, but this isn’t a bad alternative to what’s been happening since the spring of 2022.
