>As long as they might nuke chinese troops on their own ground, defensively, that can hardly be called a nuclear escalation. So russia still has some deterrence left in it.
So the DPRK can use unlimited chemical warfare against anyone they want as long as they have a atomic escalation on hand? They can use tactical nukes on their own soil with impunity? That is a insane proposition.

>North Korea has basically single digit per year tank production capacity and that's with significant help from China. They also can't spare vehicles because South Korea and Japan have an already crushing armor advantage as is.
They have no help from Russia or the PRC as neither wants the DPRK to become more powerful than it already is.
>single digit per year tank production capacity
Objectively wrong. They parade their new tanks which is something Russia has not done for 30 years. The DPRK has made hundreds of new tank hulls in the last three decades and Russia has not produced one.
