Russia now controls $12.4 trillion worth of Ukraine's key natural resources, according to an analysis for The Washington Post by SecDev.

If the Kremlin succeeds in annexing Ukrainian land seized during Russia's invasion, Kyiv would permanently lose almost two-thirds of its deposits.

Moscow controls 63% of Ukraine's coal deposits, 11% of its oil, 20% of its natural gas, 42% of its metals, and 33% of its rare earths.

If the Kremlin succeeds in annexing Ukrainian land seized during Russia's invasion, Kyiv would lose almost two-thirds of its deposits, the report said, denying the country of its essential economic pillars.

Everyone knows this is a smash-and-grab by the Cyrillic Saddam. It will have a similar end.

And that’s all the Putin gang really wants...the stuff in the ground.

They have no other competitive industries. Oil and gas are the biggies.

Please think about what you're trying to say and repeat it in standard English.

Ironic that Putin wouldn’t have gotten any spoils if the Neocons had only told Ukraine to carry out Minsk-2.

Oh well, that wasn’t good enough for them, as they desperately needed Ukraine in NATO as that was the key in ‘Weakening Russia’ and then overthrowing the present government and replacing it with a Western puppet. Back to the drawing board, I guess.

So Uke Nazi insiders, like Hunter and Joe Biden, can no longer steal those resources and sell 'em at huge Personal and GloboHomoNazi profit?

What's this world coming to when a Western Sodomite Pederast can't make Billions by stealing the resources belonging to Eastern European peoples?

I'll betcha George Soros is really sad about this.

They were just too greedy.

“Ya know, Bob, I think you have something there. They were just too greedy.”

At the VERY LEAST, Russia would have been tested. Would they keep their word and keep out of Ukraine? Obviously no one knows for sure - but if they still went in, I suspect a lot of people here, me included, might have a totally different view of this war.

Instead the Neocons made it easy, and while Russia gets what might total $100T in resources, the Neocon consolation is $300B in stolen assets.

If we could simply PURGE the Neocons from our government, the world would be much safer and much more peaceful, as things were rather stable until they really kicked it into gear under Obama.

$12.4 trillion worth of Ukraine's key natural resources

But we have to give Ukraine billions and billions of dollars?

Agreed.

Also Agreed.

If we want GloboHomoNazis to get those billions and billions of dollars in personal wealth, yes.
