FOR THOSE WHO DONT WANT TO CLICK:

He says BlackRock and Monsanto want a big part of Ukraine and says it has the richest Agriculture land in the world. He says it was so rich Hitler during the war tried to exploit it...

Thoughts, Freepers?

Either or both of those companies would probably ruin that rich agricultural land with their greed.

Almost all corporations want to grow sales, revenue, and profit as much as possible.

Investors such as BlackRock want the highest rate of return on their investments.

Neither BlackRock nor Monsanto invaded Ukraine. Terrorized,
raped, and murdered Ukrainians.

MacGregor has been predicting imminent total Russian victory and total Ukrainian defeat for over a year now.

In 2014 the US State Dept toppled Ukraine’s democrat government in a coup.

Obama’s Whitehouse then paid mercenaries - using your tax dollars - to terrorise, rape and murder Ukraineans.

Blackrock and Monsanto employ legions of lobbyists. It seems odd to assume that they *weren’t* involved in the policies of Obama’s administration. Especially as they seem to have had something to gain.

Oh worthless Ukraine? He made the mistake of admitting what a rich prize it is for Putin.
Yeah I’ll take Monsanto investing in that agriculture instead of Putin.
Richest farmland in the world, indeed.

I’m a conservative. Suddenly MacGregor has gone full communist. How dare our big bad companies invest in rich farmland that Putin can take with tanks. He’s becoming obvious.

I’ll comment on the wealth of Ukraine.

Historically, agriculture was a strength, and a nickname for the country is “the breadbasket of Europe.” Coal in the Donbas region, and warm weather ports in Odessa and Sevastopol, along with beaches, were other strengths.

Agriculture remains a strength, but this poses a problem. The farmers of the EU don’t want to face the competition that would result from Ukraine joining the EU. Given the realities that can no longer be denied, the EU will have to find a way to placate its farmers, so Ukraine could join.

Coal is no longer as valuable as it once was, but two enormous fields of oil and natural gas have been discovered (one is in the northeast tier of the country, between Kyiv and the Donbas region; and the other in the southwest, near Romania). With the pipelines and storage facilities Ukraine has, it could easily displace Russia in supplying Europe.

Finally, regarding warm water ports and beaches, travel and tourism has enormous possibilities for the people of Ukraine and its neighbors, should peace and secure borders be established.

It isn’t sudden. Macgregor has been bootlicking for a long time.

The farmers don’t want to be forcibly deported to Siberia, either, which is what Russia did to them historically.

It seems likely that this is the story Blackrock is circulating to explain why they want land - but otherwise no, I don’t beleive it.

When Chernobyl happened, those isotopes blown into the air and countryside in the Ukraine and other nations (radioactive material descended like ‘leopard spots’ over many countries, the radioactive waste from nuclear fuel has a half life of thousands of years (in thousands of years, half of the material will still be radioactive). This forced generations of Ukrainians to raise their families in radioactive areas, and others were able to escape to arable land. That arable land may be rich, but the citizens were concentrated on regions that had ‘clean’ soil so I don’t see how anyone can afford to sell it.

The Ukraine is home to crime, money laundering, US Bio Warfare labs - these may be of interest to Blackrock. I dunno but it just sounds like a blackrock story.

I think Blackrock’s interest may signal that NATO is a potential buyer. NATO losing this war but are already planning how to stage a comeback - this time by weaponizing farmland (weapons caches, labs, training facilities, etc.) purchased via Blackrock.

Another goofy MacGregor comment. Blackrock is irrelevant. This is about war profiteering to replace the "war on terror" trillions that went up in smoke with Biden's disastrous Kabul retreat, and a President Trump that put our actual "defense" first. Blackrock is already making a pretty penny, but they are not alone. 3 funds control a THIRD of the shares of a company that made $77 billion (in our tax dollars) last year alone:

Seems like Blackrock has been buying up every single family home in California. Buying up Ukraine would seem to be a variation on that same theme.

McGregor’s view is that Wall Street investment banks collaborated with the original oligarchs to loot Russia after the Soviet Union fell. Putin booted them out when he installed his own oligarchs.

Now those same investment banks are collabrating with our foreign policy establishment and Ukraine’s oligarchs, including the one who installed Zelinsky. Their goal is regime change in Moscow followed by breaking up Russia like was done to Yugoslavia, allowing the same cartel to go back to looting Russia.

It would appear that the only possible winners in the war are financial looters who started it and the losers are the people of the world and their treasury’s and resources. It’s truly Orwellian! The winners will loot and subjugate.

The Ukraine agriculture is so vital to Europe and Africa that Russia, Ukraine and Turkey had to agree to allow it to ship even during the war. If you think the Ukraine farms are radioactive you are misinformed.

It’s not the richest agricultural land in the world.

Checking wheat yields, as wheat is Ukraine’s principal crop-

There’s some surprises there.

Yields aren’t just about land of course. Weather, irrigation, available labor or mechanisation, access to pesticides and fertiliser etc all matter too. Sometimes the cost involved is disproportionate, as in Saudi Arabia, where the wheat crop is pampered.

How could NATO lose the war and yet control the country after it’s conquered by Russia? Not possible.

Nato is a treaty organization, and a military alliance. What you probably mean is the individual countries thereof, or those of the EU.

The problem with that is that nearly all of Europe runs big agriculture surpluses. Indeed, keeping these under control and preventing destructive competition within the EU was one of the bigger roles of the EU. Both Spain and France, say, produce lots of wheat. Too much Spanish wheat will drive down French farm prices and immiserate French farmers.

The last thing the EU wants is a flood of Ukrainian wheat.
