This is the type of mentality we need to see from more black men in this country.
Black Americans and the United States will become much better if black men start adopting this mentality in mass.
Dear Elon Musk @elonmusk ,
I am reaching out to you as a Ukrainian who has been personally persecuted by President Volodymyr Zelensky for criticizing his government’s corruption and the forced mobilization of ordinary people to the front lines, while, as I allege, members of his own family have not been mobilized or sent to fight.
You are absolutely right about how Ukraine’s political elite, which has maintained ties with George Soros for decades, is profiting from the war alongside certain Western elites.
As a man of integrity, you could help bring an end to this war by recommending one concrete measure to U.S. President Donald Trump—one that could help pave the way for a genuine peace-oriented political movement to come to power in Ukraine and prevent more Ukrainians from losing their lives.
That measure is the introduction of U.S. sanctions against what I call Ukraine’s “war party”: the political establishment that continues to enrich itself through the war while resisting a peaceful settlement. These sanctions should include freezing their assets and bank accounts in the United States and internationally, targeting their cryptocurrency holdings, and revoking their U.S. visas, including those held by their family members where legally justified.
While ordinary Ukrainians are being sent to their deaths, the families of senior officials continue to enjoy comfortable lives abroad. For example, the family of Rustem Umerov, a close associate of Zelensky, reportedly resides in the United States, including his brother.
The same concerns apply to those commonly referred to as Soros-backed activists and grant-funded organizations. Many individuals associated with these circles have reportedly received exemptions from mobilization under the current Ukrainian government, while publicly advocating for the continuation of the war and opposing both you and President Trump.
I believe targeted U.S. sanctions against those responsible for prolonging the conflict and profiting from it could help undermine the financial interests sustaining the war and create stronger incentives for peace.
I would also urge you to ask President Trump to raise the issue of political prisoners with Zelensky and demand the release of those imprisoned for their political views, calls for peace, and support for Donald Trump. Among them are Ukrainian MP Yevhen Shevchenko and Oleksandr Dubinsky, who, according to their supporters, have spent more than three years in detention because of their criticism of the pro-war political establishment and their advocacy for peace.
These individuals represent voices calling for peace in Ukraine, yet they have been silenced through imprisonment. Their cases deserve serious international attention and scrutiny.
I, too, was forced to leave Ukraine because of threats, as have many other Ukrainians who feared for their safety.
President Trump should finally stand up for Ukraine’s genuine political opposition—not the nominal opposition represented in the Verkhovna Rada today, which, in my view, largely supports the same pro-war establishment.
Ukraine needs a real political alternative, one that puts peace, human life, democratic freedoms, and the country’s future ahead of the interests of those who benefit from a prolonged conflict.
If you are interested in learning more, I would be glad to provide detailed information, supporting materials, and further context.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
A Ukrainian citizen advocating for peace and democratic change
@calleymeans That’s what normal people are concerned about - agreed. However, as horrible as it sounds, I don’t think a good percentage of liberals fall into the “normal” category anymore. Their concerns don’t even make that list.
What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people.
The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.
@bayoubear78@stannny71@politico Just because someone has done nothing wrong, that wouldn’t stop them from changing rules or laws to change that facts. They did it with Trump, they’ll do it again.
@ZeekArkham@lecternleader I honestly didn’t know you could just buy a guy nowadays. Is that like a black market thing, or do you just go get one at the local farmers market?
@COVIDcarditis@J0nWienke@ItsStella_4@grok Therefore when people are voting in their own private elections - perhaps for the alpha of their furry parties - they won’t require a federal ID. Just like the elections should be.
I am going to go out on a limb here and ask; by "the far-right", I presume you mean people who don't lack common sense? People who saw this kind of thing coming? People who you would claim as racist, but who are just intelligent enough to understand that allowing large groups of individuals with different values and cultures at unsustainable rates into western countries can only lead to....well, this.
@ZeekArkham Common sense and normality are hard to find now days. F’k the freaks! Let them rot in the dark. Too many people holding onto their fake assertions and opinions. You’re allowed to have your opinion too, “but don’t you dare have your own opinion different from ours, Zeek!” 😂
@SammyS96153084@MakisMedicine@elie_mcn lol. Yep, your liberalism shines bright. There was no insult in my comments, only observations…Yet, immigrants can’t understand why they’re disliked.
