La Corea del Sud si rifiuta di vendere armi all’Ucraina

*”The main problem with arms exports to Ukraine is a possible violation of local foreign trade laws that restrict arms exports to a war zone.”*

Ah, come on. Then, the law should be changed or ignored. South Korea is a democracy, Ukraine is a democracy, South Korea should send arms to a democracy.

So, South Korea, you change the law to allow for the export of weapons to Ukraine!! Do the right thing!! Support a democracy struggling against an evil neighbour!!

Sweden had a law like that, got changed a couple of years ago.

Sell the to someone else and then send it to Ukraine?

It’d be a lot cooler if they did

So fucking soft. This is unreal.

This is the difference between the west and the axis of evil. the latter collaborate and get results, while the west gets bogged down with politics. If Ukraine loses this, we all lose something. The consequences could be dreadful.

South Korea sells to Poland. Do they limit use or sale or lending of their weapons like the US? Is it optional? Just sayin, could a workable legal way be found or the laws changed should be the next step. SK makes great stuff.

Maybe the USA should transfer some equipment we have in South Korea to Ukraine

Avoiding conflict WITH. Koerean. Scary that they are sidestepping this.

Why sell, just send them as gifts 

If I were Ukrainian, this behavior would only harden my attitude about my so-called allies who have happily found every excuse in the book to slow-drip, nerf or just deny meaningful military support.

This kind of fuсkеrу also exposes the pure phoniness behind all the big promises and warm fuzzies about billions worth of aid from the First World to reconstruct and de-mine Ukraine after some peace treaty/ceasefire

It’s actually a case of putting the cart before the horse but paid for in the lives and dignity of the Ukrainians.

How did it look for the Swiss to consistently deny the Ukrainians from using Swiss-made ammo for Gepard AA guns, but turn around and try to buy their way back into everyone’s good graces by shrilly pledging millions of ChF worth of support for de-mining and rebuilding farms which by definition could be used only *after* the war?

Or imagine if in WW II, military aid to the Allies through Lend-Lease was systematically strangled by FDR but then “compensated” by some airy promises about the billions worth of rebuilding support for an utterly wrecked Europe whichever way the war would end. What kind of message would that BS send to people fighting for their lives and in blatantly desperate need for military support to fight the war to a satisfactory conclusion?

Zelenskyy’s recent question: “We want to live. Is it too much?” hammers home an unflattering truth about the First World. This truth also *vindicates* the Russians no matter how many atrocities they commit in plain sight.

WTFG.

To add insult to injury, the South Koreans have had zero problem selling weapons to the Poles even though the North Koreans are still on the other side of the DMZ as always with their artillery and surface-to-surface missiles pointed at Seoul and other key targets in South Korea.

Somehow selling weapons to the Ukrainians who are actually fighting for their lives against the second coming of the Golden Horde *and* now also North Korean regulars is a bridge too far?

The South Koreans instead just proved the corollary of the adage “Where there’s a will, there’s a way”. Namely “There’s no will, so there’s no way. Too bad, so sad.” Their threat from a month about possibly sending/selling weapons to the Ukrainians after the confirmed integration of NORKs into Russian forces has turned out to have all the strength of a wet fart.

These civilized countries with laws “restricting arms sales to a warzone” baffle me. I understand the idea behind it is to not sell weapons to like the aggressors because it may be deemed profitable by a future government or something. But not to a democracy being invaded by a dictatorship, really? Like what do you build your top of the line super duper advanced $9 million tanks for, just to force privates in peaceful parts of the world to shine them for 2 years at a time?

Let’s make a law that we only buy weapons from countries that will continuing selling us weapons, ammo and spare parts if we are ever attacked.

How about working around the legal issue by selling to a 3rd country, which in turn gives the weapons to Ukraine. They could if they really wanted to.

So don’t sell to Ukraine. Sell to Poland. Maybe some things fall off the truck 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

South Koreans unfortunately forgot their history. Their asses were saved from drowning in the ocean soley because many countries in the UN helped them by sending soldiers and weapons. Next time they are invaded? Nobody will care🤷‍♂️

Same story every single time. Some country promises to help Ukraine and than chickens out.

What happened to the French idea of stationing troops in Ukraine?

What happend to Poland’s idea of shooting down russian missles over Ukraine?

And so on.
