Russia? Supporting North Korea?
No. Just... no. Russia would not risk open war for a backwater nation such as North Korea. Putin is not a complete moron. They might have investments and a train line, but investments in a nation work a lot better if they have a sound economic policy. Something North Korea lacks. Putin would not lift a finger to protect the North,
Untrue. Russia has been trying to rekindle the Soviet-era partnership between the two for the entire duration of Putin's reign as President of the Federation. You are quite mistaken, I'm afraid, in your analysis of events.
