Provide Blackrock, Monsanto, Cargill, DuPont and a whole bunch of other Western capitalist corporations (and let's not forget the corrupt Ukrainian officials) with easy profits and increased monopolies at the costs of Ukrainians and the global population in general.

US senator Lindsey Graham can't help himself drooling when he speaks of the billions of dollars worth of minerals his crony mates are aiming for and are well worth expending 2 generations of Ukrainian men at the cost of the US taxpayer. "Until the last Ukrainian", his words, not Putins.

Read Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism because that is the fate Ukraine awaits in the hands of the West. It is also the very reason Putin came into power to restore the damage done to Russia by those thieving b*st*rds. He knows who we are so do all the other BRICS nations.
