Ukraine had to open up land sales to foreign corps to get a $10B IMF loan in 2014. Before, only Ukranians could own it under laws that went back to socialist USSR days.
Russia had offered a $10B loan w/ no strings but US did the coup of the prez who was going to accept that deal and installed new prez to instead take IMF loan w/ austerity and land "reform" conditions. That loan was impetus for 2014 coup.
Black Rock and other US/Euro multinationals win, while Ukraine loses. And US is spending about $5B a year to keep Ukraine govt afloat. Otherwise out of money and wld collapse.
The same kind of model used across the third world. Combine the loan/debt tactics with buying off corrupt leaders installed by the CIA, which also assassinates any opposition leaders and labor organizers and collaborating with criminal drug gangs and you have the shining example of American DeMOCKracy installed abroad.
Isn’t this type of greed driven behavior axiomatic in every conflict war in the history of mankind? Political regimes disappear in an instant and the winner gets to rewrite the histories, rinse, repeat. Meanwhile a few opportunists make a lot of money. Very risky, but very profitable.
The bankers were always going to win this war. People think Ukraine is getting the weapons for free because they're "fighting for global democracy", but the reality is that they got debt that they will never be able to repay. Thus, they will be owned. Zelensky's just a real estate salesman getting his commission. Ukrainians are killing themselves so that the survivors become modern day slaves. It's heartbreaking!
Interesting, Why is the US gov. studying the effects of nuclear weapons on western Europe/Eastern Russia’s agricultural systems?

WTF??? This is beyond troubling. It's Five-Alarm troubling. Thanks for posting.
At least the government website has a cute logo.

Beyond diabolical.

Yes, but the US blob has been able to amplify it to a hitherto unknown scale and breadth.
Yay CIA.
With Russia winning the war, will those agreements still be valid?
I hope not.
I think more than anything the USA and NATO wanted to conquer Russia, and this is icing on the cake, or probably what these corporations usually do.

That pretty well sums it up.
I wonder how many millions of acres of farmland Bill Gate has bought there already?
IF you are an American and you are fighting 'corporate interests' in your "homeland."
What do you think is happening in Ukraine?
I might remind you all that 'cluster bombs' were outlawed by the powers that be.
This did not stop the USA using them.
Did Russia use these? NO!
I watched the Civil war in Sri Lanka against the Tamils in N.Sri Lanka.
After the war ended we drove up to N.SL
There were women in the fields (no masks) digging up cluster bombs, to make the land safe for growing crops.
DO you think they got all the 'cluster bombs?'
NO.
That is incorrect. 112 countries banned them.
The USA, Ukraine and Russia, did not. It's not a coincidence that they are major weapons manufacturers.
