Significant and long overdue in my opinion. Russian and Chinese efforts on denuclearization of NK officially ended. You can be pretty sure any extra UN sanctions on NK will be vetoed and existing ones will be violated to an extent.

I don't think that's true at all.
The full joint statement is here
The Korean peninsula issue is probably one of the least important part of the the statement.
Both sides wants to maintain peace on Korean peninsula including denuclearization of the peninsula.
They openly called for dialogue and called NK's security concerns legitimate. That is a massive change of talking points. They would still desire a non-nuclear NK but it is quite evident their position will be "oh no, anyway" to further nuclear developments in NK.
Bold of you to assume these anti Natalist narcissists have any sort of care towards their own children. Best thing would be for them to have all their money, gold and wealth in China as well as their children in Chinese boarding schools learning to become good stewards of the anglosphere under Chinese tutelage
Looks like the CIA has already started using deepfakes for propaganda
meanwhile in the anglosphere, the Uighur Muslim loving anglos don’t bat an eye when they’re setting their own muslims on fire
Jeez. Why are Americans soooo obsessed with sucking dongs? Is the fluoride in the water crap pushed by Alex Jones an actual reality?
Yeah I know where it is. Northwest of Incheon, where a major ROKN naval base is. I have never said that the ROKN will go into the Bohai Sea. The US should be commanding them to block any PLAN naval vessels in the Bohai Sea from exiting the Bohai Sea, and then going south to link up with the rest of the PLAN in the other seas. Plus, with the long-ranged missiles in their arsenal, the US will be more than tempted to command the ROKN to fire at Chinese coastal targets. Remember that I emphasize US command. I'll get back to it below.
This is not what SK would do on its own. It is not even in their interest to fight a dumb losing battle with China. But, it is highly likely that the ROKN will be placed under the command of the USN 7th Fleet Naval Command in Yokosuka, Japan. Why? Isn't it already obvious that SK is not a sovereign country? It is a vassal state of the US along with Japan. Even someone as progressive as Moon couldn't steer SK out of this situation. The SK population is already knee-deep in submitting to the US. Then came Yoon, who is already accelerating SK's submission to the US, undoing years of Moon's work. Yet the general SK populace appears to be more than happy with this development. SK have submitted their armed forces under US command before in the Korean War. Why would they not do the same again in a future US war with China?
Do you think the US would give a damn if thousands of South Korean sailors go under the sea? Do you think the US cares if China retaliates and burns Seoul and Incheon? SK is also rabidly anti-China, and the US is giving them a 'divine war' to bring China down. Can we trust SK to grow a spine and defy US orders?
I don't see this as likely. If the ROKN is pulled to Guam, that leaves Seoul and the rest of South Korea badly underdefended from the seas. The ROKN will be badly needed to defend Seoul, Incheon, and the South Korean homeland from Chinese retaliatory strikes and possible North Korean coastal raids. The USN would also want to use the ROKN as a vanguard force to hit PLAN forces in the northern ECS.
Unless the Hyunmoo-4 was launched from the ECS. It'll be too near to be interpreted as a Trident missile. Besides, the ROKN have Hyunmoo-3 cruise missiles which I think will form the bulk of their land attack option. Hyunmoo-3 strikes should be expected to compliment the larger-scale cruise missile attacks by the US on the Chinese coast.
I don't know how long SK will survive in a war with China. But we should expect them to at least give a decent fight. Even after their airforce and navy has been decimated. Any war with China for them is gonna be treated as existential, because of their identity crisis.
The ground war with SK, I suspect will be grueling, because they have in place a long-running conscription and military-readiness system. They also happen to have one of the most racist, hate-filled populace in Asia. We should remember that SK troops have done some ugly things in the Korean War and the Vietnam War. They ultimately cannot prevail against China + North Korea, but we should not underestimate their ability to fight.

My wife depends on me financially. Does that mean she's a junior partner in our marriage? I don't bloody think so.
Do you even understand how cooperation works? Russia is dependent on China economically because it finally broke up with the West. That doesn't make it a junior partner, that makes it a comrade-in-arms.
Obviously you don't understand International Relations. That you compare relations between countries to your relation with your wife further reinforces that point.
I would suggest refraining from speaking so confidently if you don't understand the difference between relations between countries and married husband and wife.
If you need some further elaboration:
"We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow."
Countries follow the above mantra, individual married people obviously don't for a good reason
Why does this tune sound so familiar
