Over the years, I touched upon Blackrock periodically. This is one of the most powerful institutions in the world. However, as the saying goes...the harder they fall.
One of the main challenges with Blackrock is their size. When you have assets under management totally more than $10 trillion, how do you remain liquid? In other words, if the need to sell arises, the demand simply will not match.
This can be compounded by making moves that can have catastrophic effects.
Many have opined that Blackrock is going to get crushed with in the housing market. The company purchased a number of firms that have tens of thousands of single family homes. Since many of these are in the same market, they could find their moves flood the market.
For now, this is a wait and see with that portion of their portfolio.
Total Loss In Ukraine
Blackrock is one of the companies that is looking to be heavy on the reconstruction of Ukraine. Some estimates put it higher than what was required for Germany afterWorld War 2.
When dealing with war, it is hard to get past the propaganda. After all, the first casualty is always the truth. For that reason, many buy into what the mainstream media promotes which, these days, is nothing more than the propaganda aarm of the government.
And when it comes to the United States, this means the warmongers.
Here is the issue.
Ukraine is going to lose. To think they could stand up to Russia was insane. That is like Cuba taking over the United States. So far, more than 500K Ukrainian soldiers are dead.
Of course, there is no peace. An agreement was in the works until Boris Johnson, likely at the request of the United States, met with Zelinskyy and put a stop to that. Ergo, more Ukrainians died.
None of this is of concern to Blackrock. Loss of life is not on the agenda of Wall Street bankers. The only motive is profit.
Here is where the investment is starting.
A coalition of investors, with support from BlackRock and JPMorgan, are aiming to put together $15 billion in aid to rebuild Ukraine. In a new group known as the Ukraine Development fund, they are supporting investments from state bodies and capital markets; the fund will bring together a consortium of investors to finance at least $15 billion of reconstruction work in the country after two years of Russian invasion.
Blackrock is salivating to get their hands on Ukraine. They will look to monopolize land, industries, and whatever else is not tied down. This is classic pillaging.
If the Ukrainians were to survive, they would be completely beholden to the likes of Blackrock.
Ukraine's Death
Tomorrow is the last day of Zelenskyy's term. There is one problem: he cancelled the elections.
He also suspended the payments on the Ukrainian debt.
Basically, Zelenskyy is a dictator for life as long as the war wages on. Of course, now institutions like Blackrock and JP Morgan are asking for their money back. It will be a total loss.
There is a good chance that Ukraine will not even survive as a country. Another couple years of economic (along with physical) destruction, will eliminate any hope for the future. Even those who do survive, there will not be much left.
The State Department of the United States is filled with warmongers. These people want genocide of the Russian people. It is supported by people like Senator Lindsey Graham, who feels 'Russians dying’ the ‘best money US has spent’.
Zelenskyy is getting rich off the war. He is no different than anyone else. Conflict is big business. We can be sure there are some very posh jobs awaiting the members of the State Department when they decide to leave.
The problem is the history in these matters.
Do we recall Iraq? Afghanistan? Syria? Vietnam?
Can anyone guess how these turned out? Did the US and its allies gain victory? After two decades, untold hundreds of billions spent in Afghanistan, the US pulls out only for the terrorists to move right back in.
Why does anyone believe this time will be different?
The reality is that people like Lindsey Graham have been waging war with Russia for 30 years, all in an attempt to wipe it out. They are aching for it to fall.
Now Ukraine is stuck in the middle.
Blackrock bought into the nonsense, believing a quick victory was assured. Look at the date of the second linked article (Dec 2022).
Yet here we are, 18 months later, and Russia is still taking it to the Ukranians.
Does Blackrock seriously think it is going to get its money back? The macro effects are going to assure a total loss of any funds put into that country.
Now buying the stock of the companies that make up the military industrial complex? That might be a better move for Fink.

This is not actually supposed to be happening in the country of Ukraine. A whole lot of lives have really been lost and it is high time people live in peace
Money invested in Ukraine is a huge risk. I'm surprised that Ukraine has lasted this long, but with a much smaller population that Russia and less resources it's hard to see how they prevail short of World War 3 starting. I think almost everybody in the US is sick of war, but the warmongers can never get enough.
Blackrock could be in bad shape when Ukraine can't and won't pay them back!
The success rate of the US warmongers is not good. Just look at the last 25 years and see evidence of that.

Okay, now this is a very interesting take. Comparing what is happening to Ukraine, to Cuba trying to take over USA seems a bit much. I was thinking along the lines of the Vietnam War. From what I've read, Ukraine isn't trying to take over Russia, they just want keep what's theirs and push back Russia's offensive.
Another thing I've read is that Ukraine can't lose according to Europeans. That is why they have been sending all these support, and some are thinking of sending troops as well. Because once Russia wins and takes over Ukraine, not only did they increase their land area, but they are also that much closer to NATO countries.
Yet they want to make Ukraine part of NATO which would put it right on Russia's border.
Where has Putin shown he wants to take over all of Ukraine? That is the problem. The media is lying so much that it is going to end up costing the West dearly.
This only came up because of what Russia did. I believe they continuously denied Ukraine's attempts to join. Since Russia is trying to move closer to NATO borders anyways, might as well increase an ally, than let the enemy get more people and area.
A simple google search seems to contradict this:
I guess if you want to be literal about it, Putin doesn't want to take over something he considers doesn't exist. The media can be lying about a lot of things, but I don't think it is worse than what Russia has been spouting all this time. I believe they said this was just a training exercise when it first started.
Considering that this all centers around the West not adhering to the Minsk agreements, something that Merkle admitted was a sham by the West, we can isolate what Putin's intentions were.
As long as people think Putin is the monster, the West can claim to be the moral authority.
In a few years, Ukraine will not exist and it will not be due to Putin but the West. The country will end up destroyed with the directive coming from Washington.
Why do you think Johnson showed up and put a halt to any peace agreements? Isnt it the responsibility of the Ukraine leadership to do what is best for its nation?
This is all a plot by the likes of people like Lindsey Graham and his ilk to try and weaken Russia so the West can destroy it.
Can you share your sources? I am interested in seeing the other side of this. The ones I've been reading have been the opposite.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsk_agreements
I think Putin did this himself, by being the aggressor/attacker.
If Putin didn't attack, I doubt Ukraine will no longer exist. Or am I missing something here?
Wikipedia? LOL
That is the epitome of propaganda.
Armstrong blog is the best source of information of what is going on. The guy has his finger on the pulse of a lot of things.
Wikipedia just compiles them. They use references from different sources. This is the first time I'm hearing of Armstrong blog though.
i really feel so sad about this, a lot of lives has been lost already,i just wish these things can just stop, i have some family relatives in Ukraine, and honestly zelenskyy has made Ukraine something undescribable
From mu understanding Blackrock was making money through supplying arms anyway. Sadly there is no ways Ukraine is winning this war and the rebuild will not be done by the West.
I really think if they are wise right now, they should be targeting where they should based in and not Ukraine
