Russia has an unexpected enemy in World War III, by Sergey Savchuk for RiaNovosti. 08.05.2024.
One of the most important questions that torments not only our sworn Western friends, but also the average Russian, is what plans the Kremlin has regarding Ukraine. Because the duration of the SVO, the number of new regions, the population's income, the volume of construction to restore the infrastructure destroyed by the war and Ukrainian rule, and much, much more will depend on this. Naturally, no one will reveal their strategic plans to us (and quite rightly so), so we can only draw logical chains based on events that have already happened. One of them, for example, is the news that the assets of the Blackrock corporation have exceeded 10.6 trillion dollars.
It would seem, what relation does this have to Ukraine and the historical path of our country? Alas, the most direct.
It is necessary to start with the fact that Blackrock, firstly, is currently the largest investment company in the world by the size of assets under its management. Secondly, it is quite reasonably associated with the so-called deep state, that is, the shadow government of the United States . Its very existence is disputed even within the States themselves, and adherents of this version are ridiculed for being overly impressionable, but this is only a matter of inconsistency of terms. The shadow government is, of course, not movie villains sitting in a dark bunker and making insidious plans, laughing ominously. This is the same big business, huge companies and transnational corporations that have long merged with the authorities and directly push through political decisions that bring profits and allow further growth.
For example, the board of directors of the aforementioned Blackrock includes people like Wally Adeyemo, who is also the Deputy Secretary of the US Treasury. Or Eric van Nostrand, the senior adviser to the Treasury Department for Russia and Ukraine. This also includes Mike Pyle, the chief economic adviser to Kamala Harris , who, as vice president, suddenly became a key contender for the post of head of state. As you can see, all of these people are directly related to finance, both corporate and state. The very work on two fronts is an unconditional confirmation of the fusion of big capital and power, and the initiative for this merger comes from representatives of the former. They are the same shadow puppeteers - through their embedded agents, influencing the adoption of critical decisions.
On the Ukrainian issue, Blackrock is represented directly and broadly.
Back in 2022-2023, Ukrainian, that is, extremely biased and totally censored sources claimed that the American investment monster was actively buying up arable land. Although there is a moratorium on the sale of land to foreign buyers in Ukraine, there are persistent rumors that Blackrock, through various schemes and shell companies, has bought up almost half of the local black soil. Here it is necessary to understand that even if the rumors exaggerate and Blackrock indirectly manages at least a third of Ukrainian arable land, this is still about ten million hectares. This area is equal to all the arable land of Poland or Germany . That is, the Americans figuratively hold a country of comparable size by the stomach and are already manipulating Ukrainian agricultural products as a lever of geopolitical pressure.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Global media have been buzzing with how much money the US is allocating to Ukraine for both arms purchases and reconstruction, culture and science. But this formulation is not entirely correct, since the money is not pumped directly from the star-spangled to the yellow-blue budget, but flows through the winding and opaque channels of all sorts of funds, often private ones. These are the assets that Blackrock manages, having received a special license a year ago to carry out certain activities for the restoration and development of Ukraine. Ukrainian officialdom emphasizes that Blackrock entered Ukraine at the personal invitation of Volodymyr Zelensky in order to fight the oligarchy and establish a real Western order, but the degree of real independence of the expired Ukrainian president is extremely questionable. Most likely, he received a request that cannot be refused.
In Ukraine, Blackrock has really started to restore order, albeit in its own sense. In 2023, a hedge fund was organized to provide assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine , and it was to be filled with money taken from local oligarchs. How can one not recall the sudden arrest last September of Igor Kolomoisky , who is still in prison and for whom a mind-boggling bail of two billion hryvnia (4.2 billion rubles) has been set. Initially, the former owner of the Dnipropetrovsk region was arrested for allegedly organizing the murder of a lawyer about twenty years ago, and later two more key charges were added. According to their totality, Kolomoisky is accused of embezzling about 15 billion hryvnia (31 billion rubles). Naturally, with the arrest of the owner, things are not going well for his business empire, the most tasty morsels are being actively torn out of it.
Blackrock, having established the aforementioned hedge fund, received a legal opportunity to buy up all more or less profitable Ukrainian assets on the cheap (either by referring to martial law or, as in the case of Kolomoisky). Moreover, a separate condition is spelled out that the conclusion of all state contracts for any type of restoration work inside Ukraine must be carried out through the subsidiary fund of Blackrock.
That is, the "return" money allocated by Kiev from its budget or from Western loans for, say, the restoration of the children's hospital "Okhmatdet" also falls under control. Thus, Blackrock can control the full cycle of financing Ukraine, be it military or civilian. An important point is that the conditions of the fund's work are valid until the end of hostilities, that is, the shadow government of the United States is interested in the war continuing as long as possible.
And now we come to the main thing.
If new regions and areas of Ukraine, especially industrially developed ones, are incorporated into Russia, our country will face the threat of war with transnational corporations. Not with the state of the United States of America, but with the supranational financial octopuses whose tentacles control the parsley in Washington and Brussels . Because the main assets of Ukraine bought by Blackrock and similar funds will belong not to the state, but to private individuals. They will be the ones most interested in preserving their acquisitions.
Someone will say: what difference does it make who the instigator is, ordinary soldiers will be sitting in the trenches on the other side. This is true, but with a caveat. The West has built a society with a clear emphasis on the prevalence of the individual over the general. Absolutely all Western armies are experiencing a chronic shortage of personnel, since citizens spoiled by comfort and attention do not want to exchange all this for hardships and deprivations. And we need to conduct preemptive information work now, endlessly repeating that Russia does not threaten anyone and is not going to invade Europe , and that in the trenches of the new eastern front you will die not defending your own home, but protecting the interests of the bigwigs from New York.
This is not stupidity or nonsense. Despite total censorship, many people in the West watch our TV channels and read our newspapers in search of an alternative point of view. After all, a hundred years ago, the Bolsheviks and socialists managed to propagandize the armies of both sides, convincing them that it is not worth fighting for the interests of the bourgeoisie and the rich. Who said that this cannot be repeated in the age of the Internet.

Re: Russian special military operation in Ukraine #59
I must say I'm impressed by the quality of the thermal camera on the disposable drone. The Russian MIC must really have cranked up the manufacturing lines to be able to produce such a good camera that is cheap enough for installing to mass-use munitions.
