I thought it was the Russkies. In the beginning of the 1984 movie they talk about the Soviet’s harvest failing.

IIRC, the actual 'invaders' were hired Cuban military in the original.

The TV series, Jericho, gave the impression that China was involved in those atomic attacks. When the provisions were parachutted in, the crates had the red star and sickle emblems. I don't remember there being a real explanation for that.

I have noticed in recent years that more TV series villains are Russians and former KGB. Seldom does a mussie turn out to be the villain. In programs where a mussie is accused, it seems to turn out to be false, and the real culprit is a disgruntled former US military or religious extremist white guy.

They even hired Super Fly as the main General. ;)

Combination of Cubans, Nicaraguans, and Russkies. There are two main antagonists a somewhat sympathetic Cuban and a downright nasty Russian.

Which is why I stopped watching TV series. So sick of their propaganda.
