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.

They don’t hate the west, they hate the fact that the west has troops stationed around the world and our military is essentially in every part of the world as well. If the show was on the other foot and the Russians or the Chinese had military based all around the world essentially surrounding the US with troops and weapons I’m sure the US would feel the same way. Nobody wants to feel powerless and no one wants to be lulled into a false sense of security only to have your freedom taken during a power change.

 

 

That said, if N Korea does launch a missile over one of our allies’ countries it can and should be seen as an act of war and be dealt with like Trump stated, with fire and fury. We have enough troops on the Korean border and surrounding areas to destroy N Korea pretty quickly.
