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.

Ukraine war is no longer a civil war between Russia and Ukraine but a continuation of WW2 Grudge war between Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
It's no wonder a ceasefire offer signal from Russia has been repeatedly rejected unreasonably since 2022.

The only way to survive this WW2 grudge war for Russia is to apply all merciless strategies from the most intelligent strongman Stalin or else there would be no second chance of collapse like the Soviet Union but the total destruction for Russia where Russia might be swallowed up into the Nazi-visioned European Union in order to please the spirit of Genocide criminal Hitler.

The situation of the current Russia is worse than the Soviet Union under Stalin because Stalin only had the Nazi Germany problem before but Rusia have 2 enemies, terrorist US including her created terrorist NATO which was instrumental in helping to collapse Soviet Union before and US led NATO is planning to collapse Russia again and the other enemy is indeed the old enermy Nazi Germany which even violated the WW2 treaty by creating the Nazi-visioned European Union unlawfully in order to realize Hitler's dream

Fortunately, Russia have the best weapon in the world undeniably now unlike Stalin who didn't possess the best weapon while fighting the superior Nazi Germany and practically Russia is the strongest superpower in the world now and need to use her advantage to destroy both of her enemies completely without mercy just like Stalin did to Nazi Germany for the sake of her survival or else if the problem of both of her enemies were unresolved now, Russia's future would be worrisome

ATACMS missile attack from Ukraine is actually an unprecedented direct terrorism attack from Terrorist US undeniably because only the soldiers of Terrorist US can operate ATACMS so ATACMS attack is simply an unprecedented declaration of war from Terrorist US to Russia.

Russia might urgently need to prepare at least 600 invincible Oreshnik hypersonic nuclear bombs in order to defeat both of her enemies, half for terrorist US and half for the others including Germany and any troublemaker from the hypocritical west and since this would a total destruction war unlike the civil war in Ukraine war, no country from the hypocritical west would dare to support Nazi Germany for fear of own destruction because retaliation with the invincible Oreshnik hypersonic nuclear attack would not be delayed in the total destruction so Russia shouldn't have more enemies in the total destruction war than
the 2 existential threatening enemies.

300 invincible Oreshnik hypersonic nuclear bombs probably might be more than enough to turn most cities in US mainland into dust because the missile defense systems from the backsliding Terrorist US is obsolete to stop Russia's most advanced Oreshnik hypersonic weapon or else probably 4000 non-hypersonic nuclear bombs might be necessary in order to have the same result.

Indeed Russia urgently need to create the invincible hypersonic defense systems urgently in order to secure a total victory for the probable incoming nuclear war where total destruction of terrorist US and Nazi Germany might be realized in order to enable coexistence worldwide again.

From losing the whole country under Nazi Germany During WW2 to working as slave for the Nazi Germany now unprecedentedly, France’s president, Emmanuel Macron would be remembered in history as a traitor to France.
If the traitor Macron knew a bit of gratitude, this traitor should stop working as a slave for Nazi Germany and instead should support the territory integrity of Russia according to the Russia's wish as long as the boundary is less than the Soviet Union, the savior of France from the illegal occupation of Nazi Germany during WW2 and should work together with Russia to destroy the second Nazi party called European Union and make sure Nazi Germany stops violating WW2 treaty no more for the sake of restoring peace in the west again.
But the traitor Macron is hopeless so he would die as a traitor working as a slave for Nazi Germany and probably have his country destroyed again as well by the former savior Russia because the destruction of France might be necessary for Russia for the sake of self defence from the endless attempts of conspiracy and misleading made among the west against Russia without law and justice by the traitor Macron under the instructions of Nazi Germany.

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?

just to clarify, a one apartment bedroom is 36 cents in north korea. :)
