Read the comments (always worth looking) some informed opinion:

1) This is what happens in a war zone, generally.

2) It's BlackRock / MIC investment.

3) And?

Would anyone else care to weigh-in?

Blackrock? (pretending to cry over woke Blackrock, perhaps the leader of the recent ESG / DEI push)

I think there was a thread or two (or three) on this yesterday or the day before or over the last couple days.

I’m hoping Trump gave coordinates to Putin for all woke liberal-run companies across Ukraine.

War is hell. Collateral damage abundant.

If you’re stupid enough to have factories anywhere overseas, then their demise is nobody’s fault but your own.

Trump 'not happy' with strike on U.S. factory in Ukraine

President Trump showed off a photo of himself with President Putin, saying the Russian president may visit for the World Cup, moments before stating that he is "not happy" that Russian forces struck a U.S. factory in Ukraine.

Funny little detail is I’m an American. This “it happens” malarkey means absolutely zip to me.

Let it happen to you, not me or my fellow Americans.

But it’s ok because Trump is about to allow lots of stuff in Russia to blow up. It happens. Collateral damage. Russia can stop the war. etc.

Tens of millions of dollars of assets owned by US shareholders lost. This is an act of war against the United States.

No, it’s not. It’s a stupid business decision that should get someone fired.

It’s no different than opening a new CVS in some sh!t-hole where it is going to get robbed with boring regularity.

---- "Would anyone else care to weigh-in?"

Posted to threads in past days, but the certifiable info didn't resonate with some....

"Flex Ltd.[2] (previously known as Flextronics International Ltd. or Flextronics) is an MBSingaporean–American multinational manufacturing company. It is the third[3] largest global electronics manufacturing services (EMS), original design manufacturer (ODM) company by revenue, behind only Pegatron for what concerns original equipment manufacturers. Flex's U.S. corporate headquarters are located in Austin, Texas.[4] The company has manufacturing operations in over 30 countries, totaling about 172,000 employees."

----- Singapore (legal domicile and headquarters)

Blackrock increased its Flex Ltd. Ordinary Shares holdings by 33.793% last June, State Street increased its holding by 38.029% then, and a few other hedge funds did as well.

Interesting point from the site -- "Institutional Ownership 101.82%"

Flex Ltd. Products

The media generally wants its readers to think that an American company was attacked. As if the subsidiary in Austin owned the whole thing. It's not the owner.

One also observes from X this: Igor Sushko
@igorsushko
Born in Ukraine. American. @WindofChangeRG

Racecar Driver (Ret.) Japanese SUPER GT
#FSBletters➡️https://igorsushko.com/articles

We have other "Ukrainian-born American" congresspersons on both sides of the "aisle" -- Spartz and Vindman. One observes that Igor Sushko is reporting from the STILL SMOULDERING site. Rather a coincidence.... He reports it's an "American" company, so that Singapore thing and the multinational thing and all,,, Forget about it.

If it’s in a war zone doing war stuff, it’s a legitimate target. The U.S. has been providing weapons, funding, targeting information and “advisors,” so Russia would be perfectly within bounds to call the U.S.’s actions an act of war. You can’t have it both ways.
