The Russians sent Obama a petition to stop the truckers' protests

The White House website registered a petition to US President Barack Obama from concerned Russian citizens. They ask the head of the White House to cancel the tax imposed in their country for trucks weighing more than 12 tons. The creators of the text point out that they are turning to Obama, since the new system of collecting payment from truckers “Plato” was introduced in Russia by American agents on orders from the United States.

It is worth noting that truckers' strikes are taking place in 20 cities of Russia from November 11. Drivers are on strike for the 3 ruble duty 6 kopecks, which they propose to charge for every kilometer of the federal highway from vehicles weighing more than 12 tons.

The operator of the new tax system "Platon" has become the company "RT-Invest Transport Systems", 50% of which belongs to a friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin Arkady Rotenberg.

Earlier, the Forum wrote that a petition demanding the return of Alaska to Russia, posted on the White House website by a man with SV initials, who introduced himself as a resident of Anchorage, in four days typed more than 20 thousands of signatures. The text stated that the tribes 10-16 thousands of years ago crossed the Bering Strait and settled in Alaska came from Siberia. Subsequently, the Russians began to gradually master the peninsula.

However, soon the petition was filmed since the site did not get 100 thousands of votes.
