Vladimir Putin’s government has launched an aggressive campaign to nationalize the assets of Konstantin Strukov, one of Russia’s richest men and the owner of the country’s largest gold mining company. The move marks a sharp escalation in the Kremlin’s efforts to extract wealth from within its own elite as the financial toll of the war in Ukraine deepens.
Strukov, whose fortune is estimated at over $3.5 billion, is the founder of Yuzhuralzoloto—a gold empire built over decades with strong ties to the Kremlin. But on July 5, his private jet was grounded by Russian authorities as it prepared to leave for Turkey. His passport was reportedly seized, and the aircraft barred from departing.
The USA elite should take notice. It’ll happen to them too. Trump will ruin them if things get between himself and them.
It’s all ready happening between him and Musk unless that’s all kayfabe
I’m really excited for Zuckerfuck to get Trump’d. Unlike Musk, he’ll do it in the most pathetic way… Raging like a little nerd by writing private temper tantrum emails and everyone in his circle comforts him because he pays them 7-figures.
Tbf, musk’s way is also pretty pathetic.
Neither of them has the chops to pull off such an act. They’re genuinely horrible idiots.
You mean covfefe?
Trump Admin using national security as a pre-tense to take control over X/Twitter away from Musk, and effectively killing it in favour of Truth Social
If Trump takes Facebook from Zuck i will lmfao and simultaneously weep for humanity.
it’s so much better when you take from the rich, rather than taking from the poor like we do in the united states.
They take from the poor in Russia too though. The rich aren’t the ones being fed into the meat grinder in Ukraine.
specifically the poors of ethnic russians, not the white ones from moscow and st petersberg.
the difference is that the united states ONLY takes from the poor, while the russians take from both rich AND poor.
Call me crazy, but people might take ML users stand against fascism more seriously if they did literally anything with it besides just rooting for a different Imperial kleptocracy built on violence.
the only thing that’s crazy is westerners refusing to learn from the large body of independent evidence that defines marxists/leninists in a similar manner that climate deniers refuse to learn from the large body of climate science evidence.
Did you have a stroke writing this??? Wtf
Defending a violent, Imperial, kleptoctacy is not Marxism. Lying about how you are being criticized is not a genius plan to avoid the consequences of what you said. Can you communicate in anything other than buzz words or am I talking to a chat bot?
That’s not what I said.
I would recommend that you reread the comment before it gets deleted by the liberal mods in this community; but I already know that your ilk doesn’t respond well to reality.
Are, are the liberals in the room there with you? Roll your forehead across the keyboard if so. Seriously though. It’s laughable looking at the levels of cognitive dissonance shared between people making arguments like yours and the maga crowd.
How do you not get exhausted from being so incredibly wrong all the time?
I’m powered by the fact that liberals like you get it wrong SIGNIFICANTLY more often. Lol
Do other people get it wrong when you don’t speak? Is that how it works?
So far everytime you you open your mouth you’re wrong, so i I’m curious what ‘significantly’ means to you.
Objectively and provably untrue.
Takes as in seizes; nevertheless I admire how you twisted to the point to better comport w your world view. Lol
I think you’ve forgotten that the means of production is supposed to be seized by the proletariat, not by the bourgeoisie using their illegitimate government.
Trust me the US will start taking from wealthy Americans as well soon enough. Once authoritarian groups burn enough Bridges and goodwill. They always have to scapegoat another group.
It’s pretty hilarious how so many people think that the boot isn’t the problem. The flavor of it is all that matters.
putin is a trillionaire just reclaiming his ill gotten gains from his oligarchs.
