imageDear Steemit if World War III really broke out, then who will be North Korea's allies?

  1. Russia
    With China's lack of support for North Korea, Russia is predicted to be the most reliable ally.
    Despite condemning North Korea's rhetoric and nuclear program, Russia has no hesitation in expanding trade and investment cooperation in North Korea.
    Russia has also revitalized railways and other transport links in North Korea, as well as bringing Russian oil tankers to North Korea from the port city of Vladivostok.
    Meanwhile, Russia can replace China as a 'sustainer' for the North, against UN and international sanctions imposed on Pyongyang. To date, China still contributes about 90 percent in North Korean trade, according to Politifact.
    "North Korea does not care about China's pressure or sanctions because there is still Russia on its side, Pyongyang has been playing with Beijing and Moscow for half a century, letting them compete for the right to help and influence North Korea," said North Korea expert from Australia National University, Leonid Petrov.

  2. Bulgaria
    Another old North Korean ally is Bulgaria. However, recently the country began to show their indifference to Kim's regime.
    Bulgaria has just implemented a UN resolution against North Korea by reducing the number of local personnel for the North K>quoteorean embassy in Sofia.
    They also limit the number of North Korean bank accounts. It was a huge blow to Kim Jong-un's regime because Bulgaria has been a reliable ally since 1948.
    However, the country was reluctant to engage in World War III.

  3. Cuba
    Although the culture of the two countries is very different, Cuba is probably North Korea's most determined ally.
    Like Venezuela, Cuba joined in condemning 'Western imperialism' which is also a subject of North Korean propaganda.
    Like the North, Cuba is a country that avoids the effects of regime change in the surrounding countries.
    Although Cuba is open to the world, as well as free markets, much faster than North Korea, the Pyongyang media, PanAm Post, reports that Raul Castro recently reaffirmed his support for union leader Ju Yong-gil when he visited the Caribbean nation early this week.

  4. Iran dan Suriah
    North Korea also has several allies in the Middle East. An Israeli journalist even once labeled North Korea, along with Iran and Syria, as "axis of evil."
    Such support has been manifested through trade, especially concerning weapons. North Korea has demonstrated a willingness to supply weapons to Iran, Syria and Hamas.
    Iran and North Korea share the same objection: Western condemnation of their nuclear weapons program.
    Furthermore, State Department officials believe that the two countries have exchanged information to improve their weapons technology. This was revealed by a missile proliferation expert from Middlebury Institute of International Studies, Jeffrey Lewis told Fox News.
    The first missile we saw in Iran was a North Korean missile photocopy.
    Lewis added, for years, North Korean and Iranian officials were seen taking pictures together. Not only that, "We also see a similarity of weapons," said Lewis
