Elon Musk was forced to reveal who financed his purchase of Twitter. Amongst owners are two Russian oligarchs close to Putin and sanctioned over the Russian invasion of Ukraine: Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich.

Petr Aven is a Russian billionaire, founder of Alfa Group, which is one of the main wallets for Putin. Aven also attended a meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022 to mark the start of the invasion of Ukraine.

Vadim Moshkovich owns Russia's largest agricultural holding Rusagro. Naturally, he also attended the meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022 and, like Aven, did not protest against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Ukrainians in New York organised an action to draw public attention to Russian crimes against media workers who were killed for freedom of speech Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion till 24 September 2024, Russia has committed 637 crimes against journalists in Ukraine, according to the Institute of Mass Information. 92 of media workers were killed. 14 — are missing. 29 journalists are imprisoned in Russia. 'These brave individuals died for the truth, and it’s our duty to continue their mission, to expose Russia's crimes, and combat propaganda. We must be the voice of every journalist still risking their life for justice. Let us amplify their message here, in America, ensuring they are heard', write the organisers of the action, the non-profit organisation 'Svitanok in New York'. —Ukraine.ua

I just want to clear something up because I hear this crap from all you treasonous maga out there, “we’re not a democracy, we’re a republic.” Guess what? I can watch Fox News too and regurgitate bullsh*t talking points and sound like a dumb*ss. I’d rather think critically, do research, come to a conclusive answer. This screenshot is from the civics lessons you have to take to become an American citizen (hence govinfo.gov).

So according to the government of the United States, the United States is federal representative democratic republic under the constitution.

No matter what propaganda sh*t Jesse Watters or Sean Hannity tries to spew. This is what our government says our government is. Hope we can move on from this, and yall will shutup.

Thanks 👍

Every intelligent, patriotic American

Source Previous Post (for reference) That's... that’s it. They’re making it clear as day: Putin’s presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev said, “To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them.”

What "certain forces" is Patrushev talking about here? Did Trump rely on Russian-orchestrated bomb threats? Starlink satellites run by Elon Musk that were linked to voting machines in key swing states? And what about the mysterious app Joe Rogan mentioned on his podcast—the one he claims Musk developed that allowed him to know the election results four hours in advance? We also still have no clue about the "little secret" that Trump alluded to at the MSG rally with Musk and House Speaker Mike Johnson...?

Beyond the election, what commitments are expected of Trump to said forces? Seriously, what’s happening here? This plot is way too thick not to investigate!

I know the most popular historical period for RusAme content is during the 20th Century (coughcoughcough Cold War coughcoughcough) BUT LISTEN TO ME…

The RusAme dynamic during the 19th Century, when their relationship was still more peaceful and somehow "innocent" …After years of isolation due to England's overprotection when America was a still young and naive nation, and Russia was a distant empire and Alfred had that admiration (a first crush) for Ivan…like that calm before the storm between two people who didn't know what the future would bring.

New Archangel, the capital of Russian America (now the city-borough of Sitka in Alaska).

Aleksandr Olgin, 1837.

OK, so I didn't know that the Russian Empire also colonised part of America and treated Native Americans very badly. Meanwhile, this painting suggests all was calm. I will be reading up on this subject over the next few days.

NB I notice in the centre of the picture a flag flying above the building and recognise it as the flag of the Russian-American Company who controlled the Russian army and navy. The Russians were there for fur, particularly that of the sea otter.

BOAT BOYS Obsession continues

Hello my dear smalletho enjoyers. May I present you my quick references for boat boys in their double life time

I will draw more of them, since I like to expand their dinamic to all next series you know it only makes sense, considering how much they are osessed.

Anyway i think their relationship goes through all possible russian rolacoaster. They obviously start pretty low, with Etho clearly not exited to be with Joel, but red life changed many man before them and nothing could've saved them ESPECIALLY with a god demn soul bond. They fell down for eachother bad. But when it was all over, the feeling died down, or atleast that's what they would like to belive.

Hehe more on that in next post, when I finish the rest of the sketches uwu

Guess the trope (I have no idea)

I'm going to use the countryhumans hashtag instead since countryballs seems to have a more "comic based" demographic? (And because there's a 30 hashtag limit)
