The elephant in the room that everyone somehow ignores is that Russia so far got a trillion dollars more natural resources from territory it acquired so far. Of course it’s sitting in the ground and getting it out is a very different story, but Russia isn’t in quite the economic disaster some people are so sure of
That’s why blackrock is screaming spending millions to keep the war going, cause they bought titles of that very cheap recently and don’t want it all to go up in smoke forever. It’s not random that a bunch of senators want to flush hundreds of billions on the Ukraine black hole, while simultaneously not giving one damn if hundreds of thousands more Ukrainian men die or lose their limbs. It’s all that blackrock lobbying money coming in like a tidal wave
Didn’t Blackrock pull out of their seeking investors deal with Ukraine....... and they don’t own land there.

As your friend says, if you can’t hold it in your hand, you don’t have it.
That is, they don’t own agricultural land, foreigners can’t.
