Especially now when so many NK weapons and soldiers are going into Russia, and all the way through Russia into Ukraine, another truck wouldn't attract too much attention.
The question is would they want to?
Russia needs Iranian weapons for Ukraine, and they can't get them if Iran has to use them their selves and can't make more if production facilities are destroyed...
I'm honestly surprised it hasn't happened yet.
Russia could just shrug and claim no one knows how Iran has them, no one is going to hold them accountable for it.
Wait, wait...
So war in Iran... helps Ukraine. But it also supports Israel. This is a little too complicated, I want bad guys and good (or at least less bad/powerful guys), not one bad guy causing problems for another bad guy which causes problems for another bad guy.
Hey, Israel! If you want to just bomb the shit out of weapons manufacturing facilities in Iran and quit your shit in Gaza, I will support you and my government tossing money at you for that purpose.
Welcome to real life bro...
The victor writes the history books, so the only time the "bad guys" win, is before a revolution to explain why the asshats had to be overthrown in the first place. Virtually no country has labeled themselves the bad guys in a present moment.
Damn near every war, both sides are assholes. Situations like Ukraine are the abnormality, and Gaza isn't a war, it's a genocide against a civilian population.
Real life is messy. Especially when the guy in charge of the world's biggest military is best described as a horse loose in a hospital...
