Does N. Korea see itself as an ally of both Russia and China in a new Cold War?

I was thinking about the threats against Sony employees after the hack and wondering if N. Korea's rhetoric might be more backed up by actual actions in the future. If North Korea sees itself as allied with Russia (and or China) in a de facto Cold War with the U.S. ,Europe and Canada and Australia then  carrying through on their threats is a possibility if they feel they could get away with it because of Russia (and or China's moral or actual backing). These times we live in are very strange and remind me once again of what my parents and grandparents talked talked to us children about in the 1950s regarding about   what life was like here in the U.S. from about 1936 to 1945.
