How does Russia react?

Russia is shocked by the fall of North Korea, but it isn’t exactly a good look to come to the defense of a totalitarian nuclear-armed pariah state. So, Russia just instead supports China’s stance of “reunification can only open through peace”. The Russian government is slightly displeased that the new North Korea would pretty much be a Chinese puppet, but it was more preferable than the peninsula being united by South Korea.
This is your brain on 


Zeno’s Korean War. Each outcome results in NATO annexing half of the remaining North Korea, and as a result they can never take all of it. Juche is eternal.
