Let the Separation of the Wheat and Chaff begin. All who are against Trump's Russian Oil Deal must now figure out a way to financially and socially separate themselves from those who remain silent. ๐Ÿชถโš–โ™ฅ
Replying to @LevPo
I do not know if you are receiving my DMs due to the censorship but please try to get the word out about this as it will show us who is willing to publicly denounce Trump's Russian Oil move and who will not... or can not. This will shift the alliances to be sure, at least while this horrible war has not yet ended, as it will determine the people that we choose to remain in contact with, as well as in business with. @VladDavidzon @VladimirSuvor @Lucien_Wolf3 @n8livenow @beenvril @UncensoredUSAx @NaturalHierarch @SirJaredofHowe @onetallorfour @ryanmauro @hpmcd1 @danielidfresne @Robkearney1981 @wakoppa

I highly recommend reading @AKaratnycky newest article "Why Putinโ€™s Defenders Are Increasingly American" as it speaks of this Fellow Traveler profile which has infected so many people who were disillusioned by the problems within our civilization. Yet as I told @erikfinman during our broadcast a few days ago, there is not much which can be done with the poor bastards who are already financially tied to Russian money. If they turn against their superiors in Silicon Valley or most media organizations (including those who have generally been Pro-Ukraine) by speaking too much about the money connections their friends & bosses have w/ Russia, then they have no future. But reaching out is the only way to really find out who is willing to speak out VS censor themselves for the sake of extending their career. Even if it turns out only 1 in 999 Silicon Valley / MAGA adjacent people care enough about Ukrainian children's lives to try and win over 10 more people, this personal way is the only way to really make any kind of change before its too late. So I encourage everyone reading this to reach out to big people you know that may be connected with Russian capital and see if you can get them to make a change. foreignpolicy.com/2026/10/23โ€ฆ

After Trump gives 7.1 billion in sanctions relief to Moscow, Putin backs the Iranian regime in direct defiance of Trump's proposed deal. Within days of the sanctions relief, Russia agreed to send additional scientists to support Iran's nuclear program. There will be war. Russian cargo aircraft were flying into Iran days after Iranian members of parliament called for nuclear testing. Naderi called for a live test in an October 18 interview with Khaneh Eghtesad, and Nattaj asked Khamenei for a new decision on October 20. The flights were logged at Bushehr's 6th Tactical Air Base on October 22. The Iranian regime released an AI video on October 23rd showing Khamenei approving nuclear weapons use.

Its just the full snake form of Abraxus.
One of the most bizarre yet widespread cryptids is known as the crowing crested cobra. It's said to be a large snake- sometimes larger than any known snakes, with a chicken like comb on the top of its head. They're also sometimes said to make chicken-like noises.

I actually managed a Ukrainian team at the time of the Russian invasion. The cost was real and Evan hired paramilitary forces to rescue his employees. I will never, ever forgive Putin for the human cost he created. That said, thereโ€™s zero realistic path to victory that doesnโ€™t involve pulling the US in a real risk of nuclear war. And there are a lot of interests invested in making sure Ukraine remains a meat grinder so they themselves donโ€™t have to confront Russian costs. I wish more Ukrainians would realize that.

Krapivnik is a former U.S. Army officer and member of the Moscow-based International Club of National Unity (known as MKNE), which is the 100-strong Russian influence ops "supergroup" I exposed last month on my podcast. Russia-linked @imelizabethlane was introduced to Tucker Carlson through a convicted CIA officer who admits to being on the payroll of Russian state media. Lane, who is from the former Soviet republic of Georgia, admits to sharing information told to her by U.S. special ops veterans she "dated" with Russian special forces operatives when she was in Russia. Krapivnik is currently fundraising to equip Russian forces in Ukraine with drones. He uses @youtube as a platform to do so, which violates their TOS because that's a violation of sanctions. Maybe @TeamYouTube can give me a statement about whether they will allow it to continue. What do you guys think... Is using your platform to knowingly advertise people as they are openly fundraising for violent sanctioned entities an illegal prohibited "service?" Isn't it also illegal to provide services--paid or unpaid--to RT? What do you think, @Kash_Patel, @SecScottBessent, @USTreasury, @TreasuryDepSec, @FBI_Response? โœ…Please help me continue my work with a tax-deductible donation at RyanMauro.com!
