Has sided? You probably don't know this because of the censorship in Western media, but Russia has been allied with North Korea and China for decades now.
"Would THIS cause another cold war"? I guess you're not aware of the nuclear missiles the USA placed in Eastern EU that have been targeting Russia for years.
I heard that there isn't access to Internet in DPRK. On the other hand, there isn't logic to make attack to private corporation for government agencies. So, i think, it's USA want new world war, by the way, when their financial-economiс system falls like Twin Towers in 2001.
Sided with them in what pursuit or for what purposes? Your statement is lacking in clarity. China sides with NK because they are willing to give them food and fuel which the U.S. was supposed to do. I dont blame Russia for getting friendly with NK since the U.S. has set out to destroy their economy and drive Russia back to the Communist system and the deprivation of the early 90s they experienced as they were transitioning to capitalism.
US economy is heading for a nosedive!
So it needs all the "wars" it can get its hands on! Easy picking, for the corporate media who also own arms manufacturers! One way gravy train, upward trajectory!
Wars dead handy to proliferate weapons of mass destruction! Tons of lolly, easy pickings!l

North Korea is the way it is because of the Korean war. US thoughtfully gave N Korea nukes!http://www.infowars.com/who-gave-north-korea-nukes-in-the-first-place/
