French President Macron warned at a significant defense summit in Singapore on Friday: "If North Korea is not prevented from getting involved in Russia's war against Ukraine, NATO may become more deeply involved in Asian affairs."
"North Korea's involvement in the issue of Ukraine is a big problem for all of us. If you do not want NATO to get involved in Southeast Asian affairs, you should prevent North Korea from getting involved in European affairs."
France has long insisted that the transatlantic military alliance should not extend its influence to Asia and has taken the lead in preventing NATO from opening a liaison office in Japan in 2023.
The current shift is inconceivable and presumptuous. Who does it think it is?
