The deployment of troops in Ukraine has always been a sensitive issue.
This sensitive issue has been put back on the table with the increasing aggressiveness of the Russian military.
Putin's constant invocation of the nuclear weapons trump card and his cooperation on the frontline with North Korea has led NATO to take more precautions.
Putin was cunning enough to intimidate NATO with the nuclear weapon card, daring enough to cooperate with North Korea, and nervous enough to know that his military would be ineffective against a united NATO force.
But the crossing of Putin's red lines has shown that his threats have not materialized.
NATO experienced this realization by lifting the restrictions on Storm Shadow and ATACMS missiles.
Moreover, Russia's cooperation with North Korea opened a new door of opportunity for NATO. Although North Korean troops were stationed on Russian territory, they were fighting on the front line against Ukraine.
If Russia could get military support to defend its territory, wouldn't it be fair for Ukraine to do the same?
This reopened the option of deploying a combined NATO force to Ukraine to end the war.
Sending troops to Ukraine had always been one of the UK and France's peace options.
Now the UK and France had reason to say enough is enough with North Korea and Russia's cooperation.
After the Storm Shadow and ATACMS moves, the UK and France have accelerated their efforts to send troops or personnel to Ukraine.
But will Russia's continued war with North Korea against Ukraine lead NATO members France and the UK to send troops to Kiev?
If the two NATO members send troops to the war, what kind of a dilemma will Putin face?
What kind of deterrent measures will the UK and France, as well as the US and other alliance members, use to end the war in Ukraine?
