For at least the past eight years, the US President has done his best to ensure that the world knows that Russia’s Vladimir Putin and he is a great friend. However, after every day, the relationship seems more and more one-sided.
Certainly, Russians may seem to like Donald Trump, but he definitely doesn’t respect him. So why is he? The man does embarrassing things on the world stage, lying about his fellow leaders every day.

Putin also has another close friend. Perhaps he even likes ginping more. He really loves ginping. But the person who appears to be the happiest person every time he gathers is North Korea’s supreme leader Kim Jong-un.
And this is where our story begins.
The most dangerous friendship in the world
You may remember that President Putin went to North Korea last year. So he would go on a long drive with Kim in the car he bought him, and imagine the two of them talking to each other and laughing, but I always wondered how they could have communicated. See:

But hey, it was a great photo manipulation, and President Putin was a little more afraid of him to the rest of his companions. Biden and NATO were trying to suffocate Putin’s power, so the big photo shoot with Kim was like a slap in their face.
Now the author believes that it was during that day that the boys had a major military debate. Putin needed men, weapons and loyalty to the chaos in Ukraine he began. Kim needed favor. With a $1.5 billion boost from Bybit’s Crypto Vault, he has made it possible to offer both.
The two agreed that North Korean fighters would appear on the ground in Ukraine. And when Russia regained the Kursk region a few days ago, Putin made it official.
In a statement released yesterday, Putin said, “Our Korean friends acted from solidarity, justice and the sense of authentic comrades.” He praised their “heroism, high levels of special training and self-sacrifice” and said they fought “shoulder to shoulder” with the Russian army.
While it’s all diminished, the US, Ukraine, Europe and Russia are still kicking ceasefire talks. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius tore the US proposals and called it “Subaku” on German television.
Pistorius said Ukraine was able to save a lot of pain after receiving the garbage deal a year ago. “I can’t identify value added,” Pistorius said, destroying Trump’s so-called peace offering.
Kim turns stolen code into a war machine
As me It has been reported Earlier this month, North Korean troops were not funded by coal or taxes. It is a code stolen by a full-fledged cyber force. The Lazarus Group, the top North Korean hacker team, runs military-grade operations, which has been generated with over $6 billion in code over the past decade.
All this crypto booty lives on Kim Jong Un’s dictatorship. Sanction? It doesn’t matter when you’re stealing your salary. His nuclear weapons program, his military and his control over North Korea are all supported by digital theft.
More than 8,000 hackers working full-time under Kim’s rules are organized into military-style teams. They’re more than just nerds. They are soldiers with keyboards. From a young age, North Korean children who exhibit talent in mathematics and science are pulled aside and trained to become hackers. There are no side jobs or second chances.

Their lives may look better than the average North Korea, but once ruined and you’re done. Elma Duval, co-author of the report for Seoul-based advocacy group PSCORE, said the former IT worker has admitted that failure means physical punishment. Be hacked or beat – it’s a deal, but hey, it’s a dictatorship after all.
Kim Jong Il, the late North Korean leader, once said that future wars would fight computers. His son, Kim Jong-un, took that prophecy and then built the entire national strategy.
So now, thanks to Bybit’s $1.5 billion missing and the non-stop work of the Lazarus group, Putin’s war in Ukraine is gaining another bloody money shot. And Trump will probably continue to shame himself by flaunting his friendship with men who don’t even consider him equal.
