That's a simplification of what happened during WWII. The USA and USSR both made an agreement that the Soviet Union would enter the war against Japan 3 months after the war in Europe, and that they'd divide the country along the 38th parallel. It was not a unilateral decision by the USSR.

Yes I'm aware. However, it was the Soviets who gave permission to Kim to invade the south and provided weapons and armour to assist in the invasion. The Soviets continued to prop up the Kim family after the war which now takes up to today.

Yes, but the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and along with it virtually all of the support it gave to North Korea, while South Korea was ruled by military leaders and dictatorships until 1988, only 3 years beforehand.
