Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine
When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.
“directly responsible for
• the theft of billions of dollars
and
• the systematic destruction of
1. our economy,
2. the rule of law and
3. our democracy.
🚨🚨The Trump Crime Family is more corrupt than the totality of All Previous Organized Crime Families Combined in the history of the United States.
———————————————
I spent thirty (30 years investigating Major Organized Crime Families & Gangs and without a doubt, Donald Trump has committed more crimes against the United States of America and its citizens than all Organized Crime Syndicates.
TRUMP is directly responsible for the theft of billions of dollars and the systematic destruction of our economy, the rule of law and our democracy.
TRUMP must be Impeached and Removed from office by the U.S. Congress this year. Both Democrats & Republicans must join together to save our nation.
❓please consider these historical nation-states & gummints that have fallen, been destabilized, or lost sovereignty due to acts of treason:
•Czechoslovakia (1939/1942): While its downfall was initiated by the Munich Agreement, specific acts of betrayal—notably by Karel Čurda, who betrayed the Czech resistance and the assassins of Reinhard Heydrich to the Nazis—severely damaged the nation-in-exile's efforts and led to brutal reprisal.
•The Roman Republic (44 BC): The Republic effectively collapsed following the assassination of Julius Caesar, which was carried out by trusted senators and allies, including Brutus and Cassius, plunging Rome into civil wars.
•The Aztec Empire (1521): The rapid fall of the Aztec Empire was partly due to the betrayal of Aztec leadership by indigenous allies (like the Tlaxcalans) who joined forces with Hernán Cortés, a key example of internal betrayal against the ruling power.
•The Republic of the Congo (1997): President Pascal Lissouba was overthrown by Denis Sassou Nguesso during the Second Republic of the Congo Civil War, with Nguesso's actions regarded as a treasonous seizure of power.
•The Byzantine Empire (1453): While the final fall to the Ottomans was a military defeat, centuries of internal struggles, with various factions inviting Ottoman interference, contributed to its decline, and some accounts suggest betrayal in the final defense of Constantinople.
•The Republic of the Rio Grande (1840): A short-lived, unrecognized country that broke away from Mexico; its defeat was sealed when its forces were betrayed and defeated, forcing its collapse.
•The Confederate States of America (1865): While not recognized internationally, its collapse was hastened by internal conflict, but its establishment was considered treason against the United States by the Union government.
•The Soviet Union (1991): While a complex dissolution, many hardliners viewed the actions of Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin as acts of treason against the Soviet state, leading to its collapse on December 31, 1991.
&…..consider too
•The Whiskey Rebellion (1794): While it did not cause the fall of the US government, George Washington treated the rebellion as treason, considering it an act of insurrection.
•The Gunpowder Plot (1605): An act of treason that, had it succeeded, would have destroyed the English governmen

This never happened. The Congo did not release prisoners into Mexico to invade America.
This man lives in a racist alternate reality that has no relationship to everyone else. He is a walking delusion.
This is suboptimal in a president.
a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario.
a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose.
the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant.
he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests.
Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time.
GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead.
Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on.
Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for.
then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company."
GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing.
then he splits the users by income.
Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%.
18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time.
so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for.
it isn't recommending the best option for you.
it's reading the room. and the room is paying.

@gothburz I hope someone who knows you both sends this to @WarrenBuffett .
I fact-check you. So far, 100%. We do related work.
WB may be holding that cash for a very long time while the price of USDs keeps dropping.
