I watched the new version of the movie Red Dawn last night. The plot was a more modern version of the original. In the first version the Cubans and Russians were the invaders. It was a believable scenario due to the close political ties between Russian and Cuba for decades.
The second version had the North Koreans and the Russians. The likelihood of that is slim to none, as neither country is a in any way linked from a political standpoint. I have read that China has bought Hollywood and this may be supportive of that claim. The PRK and China are joined at the hip and have been for a long time. The PRK depends heavily on China for almost everything.
The PRK is thus a client state of China and China fought us in the Korean War along with the PRK. This may seem like a small issue but that is how the Chinese Government works, slow and incremental, under the radar until it is too late.
Let me know what you think.
