Why would they defend them if:

1. North Korea strikes first even though the US did nothing?

2. America provides economic benefits to both China and Russia that North Korea could only dream of?

China and Russia are starting to see the writing on the wall, it wouldn't have been a 15-0 vote if they didn't. North Korea's regime is on the ropes. It would honestly not shock me if China start a coup de tat and killed Un while installing a puppet government. I see this happening way before any sort of war (let alone WW3) break out.

Because Russia hates the West (includes both the US and Canada), and secretly so does China.

That's a stretch. Even if they did hate us that still doesn't acknowledge the first two points I made. Russia and China would be more willing to talk to America to try and work out trade deals and alliances than work anything out with North Korea.

The US has the upper ground in this scenario, simply because it's the US and we have more to offer that would benefit both Russia and China. Do you seriously think China hates our guts when we're their number 1 trade partner? Without America China would not be as successful as they are currently. And as for Russia, they look out for Russia (like any country should). The reason they constantly give America chances is because they know they're better off on America's good side. North Korea is a stepping stone.
