Terrorist US is known for spreading assassination lawlessly throughout the Middle East in order to support Genocide war in Gaza.

Now the lawless assassination led by terrorist US has been spred to Russia with the recent assassinations of Russia's top missile expert Mikhail Shatsky and the head of Russia's Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Forces, Lt. General Igor Kirillov, and it's highly expected that the lawless assassination led by Terrorist US would be getting worse in Russia very soon just like in the Middle East.

Lawless Assassination led by terrorist US is so successful in the Middle East, thanks to the GPS enabled devices such as handphone, laptop, etc with the unreliable built-in US software because the US spy software enables to track the exact location of the device for assassination purpose immorally as confirmed by the son of the assassinated former Hama leader so Russia urgently need to ban all GPS enabled devices that works with US software immediately in order to prevent from further lawless assassination attempt led by terrorist US for the sake of national security.

The Genocide criminal Joe Biden even recently approved to transfer the Gaza Genocide bombs to Ukraine as he has been committing to Gaza for the Gaza Genocide war so Genocide war has already spred from Gaza to Russia now practically so coexistence is hardly possible between Russia and terrorist US but Russia is not the only target of Terrorist US for elimination but eliminating one at a time is the strategy of Terrorist US now so after eliminating Russia, China would be undeniably the next prey for elimination for terrorist US.

So it's an urgent call for both Russia and China not only to be united but also must work together to be ahead of terrorist US in the survival game which must start with the immediate realization of Gold backed currency for worldwide trading without any further delay unless they didn't want to end up as a menu on the table of terrorist US as the Genocide Criminal Blinken mentioned before because with one gone, the chance for the survival of the remaining one is highly reduced so being united at all cost is the only solution for both Russia and China for the sake of survival as long as terrorist US exists.

US is clearly and undeniably a thief leaders with a bunch of thieves followers such as Israel, European Union, Philippines, etc.

The responsibility of the thief leader is indeed to help its thieves followers to steal things such as territory, etc from others without law and justice such as helping Jew to steal the whole Palestine from Palestinian to the extent of enabling Genocide crime in Gaza, helping the Philippines thief to steal China's historical territory in South China Sea, helping the European Union thief to steal Ukraine from motherland Russia, etc.

As a thief leader, terrorist US is morally corrupted so it should be seen and treated correctly as a thief criminal without delay by both Russia and China or else something is extremely wrong to treat the thief leader US with dignity as the way Russia and China are treating the thief leader US with dignity now because dignity is not for the thief, especially the thief leader US.

The world is no longer safe under the manipulation of immoral thief leader US so the world might urgently needs to eliminate the thief leader US for the sake of security and peace for all countries or else Gaza Genocide war, endless fueling of Ukraine civil war, endless provoking of South China Sea conflict would not be the ended but it would be just the beginning with the worst parts would be followed endlessly unless the thief leader US is eliminated probably with the invincible hypersonic nuclear bomb by the combinated hypersonic force of Russia and China for the sake of justice and peaceful coexistence worldwide.

Who on earth did such a ridiculous price list on north Korea and put USD $5000 as rent for a 3 bedroom apartment?
The people can't rarely survive there.
Also you can not relocate to North Korea unless you are a government friend from on of the friendly nations or other approved circumstances.
Not many foreigners where able to live there.
There are so much better places to live, who wants to feed the weapon program of the Kim Family?
