- "The Russian military uses Felon Musk's Starlink satellite internet to conduct attacks, particularly for Shahed drone strikes."

And some people worry about the Nazis in Ukraine.

Vlad's poodle in the WH is still paying dividends for Russia.

Ukrainian counterintelligence services arrested an elderly man in a foiled assassination plot against a brigade commander. The assassin's Makarov pistol jammed at the barber shop and he was then rendered ineffective.

The Russian FSB duped this altakaker into thinking the Ukrainian general was a traitor to Kiev.

Musk has been aiding Putin the entire time.

There's always an interface inside of the Trump administration.

Are the DeVos still involved with Alfa Bank?

They share the same taste in theft, grift and maritime amusements with Russian oligarchs as her family own at least 10 yachts.

"When buying a vessel or cruising in U.S. waters, American yacht owners like the DeVos family could face state sales or use taxes like those most nonyacht owners face on everything else. However, registering a yacht in a locale like the Caymans"under what has come to be known as a "flag of convenience""allows those American yacht owners to effectively characterize themselves as foreigners for tax purposes, thereby avoiding the obligation of paying the standard levies."

"If someone is buying a boat that is above 300 gross tons but below 500 gross tons, getting registered offshore means they can avoid being subject to U.S. Coast Guard inspection and certification requirements as either a seagoing motor vessel' or a passenger vessel,'" said maritime attorney Mark J. Buhler. "The most commonly used offshore yacht registries have comprehensive large yacht safety codes that were specifically developed for large yachts, whereas the U.S. Coast Guard regulations and inspection requirements applicable to seagoing motor vessels' or passenger vessels' were created many years ago, principally for vessels engaged in trade, and not really having large yachts in mind. Those requirements do not translate well to yachts, and most yachts are simply not designed or built to those particular standards."

Musk is perhaps too irratic to own the central bank? Maybe the Martian branch..
