Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Western 'investors' begin 'rebuild' of Ukraine. Just like clockwork. JPMorgan and BlackRock to join forces. (www.bloomberg.com)

I wish I'd written an article about this when the war first began. I've known and been saying for months that the process will go like this:

Ukraine will face demolition by war. They've repealed labour laws and banned left wing parties. Now, with the conditions right, the circling sharks of 'investment' have come to feed.

BlackRock and JPMorgan are apparently on a co-venture to get a hold of the contracts, that they'll make billions with, off cheapened labour and a desperate population, extracting the countries wealth to their banks. I'm sure some wealthy Russians and Ukrainians will make lots of money too.

And just watch, as it starts to be hailed as a charitable effort. Proof of Ayn Rand's concept of business altruism..

Looting the country just before the collapse

I guess they're now one or two steps from becoming a failed state

The most naive people you know must be insufferable right now.

Thankfully I think those 'naive' about Ukraine will not take any notice of these headlines at all. Just regular insufferability from them for now.
