    There’s an infinitesimally tiny sliver of a chance that the DPRK is ever going to invade the Ukraine:

    1. They are very inwardly focused and their concerns lie primarily with the peninsula (and external threats to it)

    2. They would not station any significant amount of military forces in the Ukraine because that would risk compromising the deterrent effect domestically that their military provides

    3. The US is just itching to levy more severe sanctions on the DPRK (see: UNSC resolutions) and any military involvement in the Ukraine would immediately be met by a tightening of sanctions

    4. An action like this would easily be used as a pretext for a US or NATO invasion of the DPRK and there’s no chance they’d risk that over a place like the Ukraine; the southern part of the peninsula? Yes. Japan? Maybe. The Ukraine? Lol.
