Addressing a Chambers of Commerce meeting in Boca Raton, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy thanked BlackRock, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and others for their support of his country. He added that sending Ukraine heavier weapons, like Abrams tanks, represents a "big business opportunity for U.S. corporations".
“Kiev is already working with some giants of the finance and military industry, offering ‘big business’ opportunities to any American company interested in working there, President Vladimir Zelenskyy has boasted in a video message to an association of U.S. enterprises.
Addressing the National Association of State Chambers (NASC) meeting in Boca Raton, Florida on Monday, Zelenskyy argued that ‘American business can become the locomotive that will once again push forward global economic growth’.
‘We have already managed to attract attention and have cooperation with such giants of international financial and investment world as Blackrock, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs’, Zelenskyy said. ‘Such American brands as Starlink or Westinghouse have already become a part of our Ukrainian Way’.
According to Zelenskyy, ‘everyone can become a big business by working with Ukraine, in all sectors: from weapons and defense to construction, from communication to agriculture, from transport to IT, from banks to medicine’.
He also lavished praise on the weapons the U.S. has showered upon Kiev.
‘Your brilliant defense systems, such as HIMARS or Bradleys, are already uniting our history of freedom with your enterprises. We are waiting for Patriots. We are looking closely at Abrams. Thousands of such examples are possible’, Zelenskyy said in the video.
By the Pentagon’s own estimates, the U.S. has sent over $20 billion worth of weapons, ammunition, and supplies to Ukraine in 2022.
However, most of that came out of the U.S. military stockpiles. The Department of Defense did award contracts worth hundreds of millions to Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and other manufacturers to replenish some of the depleted supplies.
Russia has repeatedly warned the West that continued deliveries of weapons to Ukraine only prolonged the conflict and risked a direct confrontation between Moscow and NATO.
The Ukrainian president revealed in December that his government had hired Blackrock – a major U.S. asset management company – to ‘advise’ Kiev on how to use reconstruction funds provided by Western governments. He has estimated the cost of rebuilding Ukraine from the ongoing conflict would be at least $1 trillion”. -RT
High-handed Zelenskyy merely reiterated what everyone knows except for those who still believe that the U.S. and NATO engagement is purely a matter of security rather than one of commerce.
Keep this in mind when the inevitable false flag attack is produced in order to inflame war-fatigued American conservatives against the enemies of the neocolonial West in Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, and now Saudi Arabia.
Like the sinking of the RMS Lithuania, the USS Maine, the USS Liberty, the phony sob stories of Kuwaiti incubators, as well as the attacks on Pearl Harbor, the Gulf of Tonkin, and the Word Trade Center, the purpose is to direct everyone’s feelings of discontent and anger toward someone other than the people who have actually invaded, adulterated and financially ruined the United States and the former West.
