I haven't seen this information compiled in a public news source, so I'm posting here.
Ukraine has very high strategic importance:
- largest country entirely in Europe at 606,000 km^2, larger than France (551,000 km^2) or Spain ( 498,000 km^2)
- 42M population, about half that of Spain
- world's 7th largest coal reserves, and Europe's second largest, after Russia
- 1100 bcm of natgas reserves, 135M tons of oil reserves, and 3.7B tons of shale oil reserves
- "breadbasket of Central Europe"
- over 10% of the world's iron ore reserves, 3rd after Russia and Australia
- 8th largest manganese producing country, larger than Russia, Kazakstan, or the US, and largest reserves in Europe
- largest titanium reserves in Europe
- largest uranium reserves in Europe
- 2% of the world's reserves of mercury
- 20% of the world's graphite reserves
- 5% of the world's lithium reserves
- access to warm-water port on the Black Sea, and thus the Mediterranean Sea
- borders 7 countries: Russia, Moldova, Belarus, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland
BONUS: The lowest GDP/capita ($3100 vs. $42000 for Germany and even $11300 for Russia) of all blond & blue-eyed people, i.e. those most valued for human trafficking
What the would be world-controllers don't care about is the Ukrainian people or their so-called democracy.
They can't let Russia win a bishop in its chess game against NATO.
So they increase the bribes to keep them on board, just as Putin (in his speech this week) described Lenin and Stalin making geographical concessions to Ukraine to keep them in the USSR.
Sure, that’s why they wanted Poland. It was Napoleon’s invasion route. Germany wanted Alsace and Lorraine — France’s invasion route. Etc. Etc.
There are more issues and sides to this than how western experts oversimplify foreign affairs to justify their own ambitions. These nations have their own goals independently of the west and how the west thinks of them.
These countries are not unwilling chess pieces in a game for western academics to discuss in lecture halls. That's a problem with how the west talks about the rest of the world.
From a poster on Telegram
First think about what Ukraine is – It’s the epicenter of corruption for the political establishment. Victor Pinchuk, George Soros, Ihor Kolomoisky… All funding “deep state” agendas worldwide, all based out of Ukraine. We know their ties to the Clinton foundation and liberal politics in America.
If Trump was going to truly drain the swamp, he would have to tackle the corruption in Ukraine. The oligarchs have funded their own militaries in previous color revolutions. Trump wouldn’t be able to take them down without a fight. So if Trump is going to clean up Ukraine he would likely need boots on the ground to do it.
Enter Putin.
It’s no secret that Putin hates Soros as he banned him from Russia long ago, and it’s also no secret that Putin despised the “deep state” tactics of implementing color revolutions to overthrow pro-Russian leaders and install ones that would play ball with the “deep state”. It’s speculated by many that Putin could be working with Trump in the fight against the “deep state” and it’s hard to argue with. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
So think of the brilliance that might be taking place right now.
Boots on the ground were likely necessary to fully remove the problem in Ukraine, but Trump couldn’t invade Ukraine with US troops. Somebody else would have to do it. However, if somebody like Putin were to do it while Trump was president, it would make Trump look weak and the media would have a field day.
What better time to clean up the mess in Ukraine than with Biden in office? Kills two birds with one invasion. You make the Biden administration and the MSM look like fools, while taking on the “deep state” in one of the most corrupt countries on the planet.
Putin is simultaneously helping Trump to serve up red-pills while fixing a problem that actually benefits the USA and the rest of the world – the denazification of Ukraine.
We won’t have any definitive answers until this blows over but make sure you guys are using the 24 – hour rule with news reports coming out about this stuff.
Historically Ukraine has been a country where people could do business and make money without oversight. Disreputable people use it to launder money and broker shady deals. The 'bad guys' need it to remain unstable and unaccountable so they can keep their unscrupulous business dealings in play. A stable Ukraine with a legitimate government would disrupt the gravy train.
Listen to this podcast with Michael Caputo.
Where else are they going to launder their money?
Playing footsie with NATO is a hell of a provocation. If you can’t see that, yeah, you might be a globalist.

Exactly, it would be like Mexico joining a “defense pact” with China and expecting the US to just suck on it.
Don’t be a sucker. The Ukraine is corrupt, broke and the NWO’s playground. Occupying it would be a major welfare drag.
The globalists and their foaming at the mouth press lapdogs are freaking out because Putin is going into the Ukraine to clean out their NWO satanic criminal operation. Apparently including 6 US bio weapons labs which I was outraged to learn about. And apparently Romney is involved up to his zzz in it.
Putin is doing the world a favor and I feel certain Trump knows all about it. This is a chess move by the alliance folks and the deep state is howling.
“ Ukraine is the central hub of global corruption and dirty money flow.”
Ukraine was likely too aggressive in its push to join a collapsing Western Civilization. One certainly can’t criticize its desire to leave the Russian orbit, but it looked to get in bed with a depraved, corrupted, avarice-driven Civilization that is showing deep cracks borne of at least 3 decades of extreme corruption in its leadership, the likes of which the world has probably never seen before.
The leadership of the West is and has been craven in its use of countries like Ukraine for its own greedy purposes, and Ukraine chose that route rather than making some arrangement with what it saw as the violent beast to the East…a beast it had a long, exceedingly harsh history with. Chernobyl is only one of the more recent atrocities that they have suffered from their harsh relationship with the Russian bear. But they were only going to find a different form of being used in the extremely depraved West.
Ukraine is a tragedy. And there is no help to be found for them whichever direction they look. It is death by one beast or enslavement till it is completely drained by the other.
There may not have been outward provocation, but there was provocation by those that run the current regime in Ukraine. Think Biden regime. They cut the fart and then point the finger and run.
Or Canada, just to highlight the ethnic similarity and sense of betrayal on the part of Russia. I’m upset that they invaded, but even more upset that the West painted them into this corner and expected nothing bad to come of it.
He’s a Russian propagandist.
LOL. More like: a conservative stuck in deep blue NYC, who likes Russian literature. My wife & inlaws are non-Slavic emigrees from USSR (pre-collapse), and my wife & I are hardly pro-Russian. She has bitter memories of the privations of her childhood.
So all that dreck being fed to us by the libs is true? Trump and Putin ARE in cahoots?
Ukraine has been very lucrative and useful for the globalists
