Why the BlackRock boss is suddenly sitting at the Ukraine negotiating table
https://x.com/ricwe123/status/2111840521144406276
Did you know in 2014, Ukraine needed a loan?
There were two offers on the table:
The IMF dangled $15 billion,but with strings attached:
-Scrap the ban on private land ownership.
-Slash pensions and fuel subsidies,classic austerity.
Russia also offered $15 billion.
No strings, no neoliberal gutting of the economy.
President Yanukovych picked the Russian deal.
So what happened?
Washington backed a coup, ousted him, and installed a new puppet regime.
Then the new government bent the knee to the IMF.
Signed off on austerity program and opened the door to privatization.
Now, massive chunks of Ukrainian land,about a third, are in the hands of foreign giants like BlackRock.
