You may ask what does a former blue collar machine U.S. worker know about Ukraine's crises?
Alot more than you realize as years ago worked in former Eastern Block of the collapsed U.S.S.R. nation reason implement U.S. manufacturing operations abroad per corporate downsizing. History these nations and their economic values are the proof you need to know! It helped involvement coincide the World Bank summit in Prague, and the GreenPeace demonstration at the Czech-Austria border that re-arranged travel to Austria venturing other nations freedom travel for business. Travel was necessary modifying custom machinery towards European electric standards some more rigors due the import and export energy equates energy use restrictions impacting economic development and growth. Instrumenting changes or training one runs into politics of unions, old standards and conflict former co-workers as the work sealed outsourcing U.S. Jobs abroad.
The country Czech Republic or former Czechoslovakia 1961-1968 Soviet Invasion despite minor political squabble of political reform it became a annexation operation towards the soviet block. Working there witnessed evidence under the cold war they utilized these nations resources building infrastructures doing so with few these assets extracted compensating the very citizens own labor or own nation's economic resource commodity values return. The very building worked had a physical nuclear fallout facility underground designed to move equipment below and switch machine operations toward war manufacturing. This was built under the Soviet control era along other cold war manufacturing stifled economical agreement planting U.S. consumer manufacturing in place was the objective losing the most lucrative blue collar employment.
This realization was a major investment into their nation's the U.S.S.R's security and protection infrastructure. The region comprise majority of U.S.S.R's GDP as worth the investment and reason Hitler invaded during WWII. Historically, the Bavarian or Lower Eastern Slovakia regions is the economic mother-load: rich fertile soil prime agriculture, rich ore deposits and adequate labor to capitalize upon. Under U.S.S.R hold is complex due cost development means unrest for equality now Ukraine weakened economically Russian Federation wants restoration their former asset. Many former U.S.S.R laborers seen more their efforts exported Moscow than remittance in imports!
Ukraine crisis is a hostile take over the history doing business over the course of years since the U.S.S.R collapse and prior history Putin see's economic rise European Union as a economic threat toward Russia's stance if Ukraine joined the E.U. Vladmir Putin has placed Russian Federation's economic interest first and foremost on this political chess game. When the former Soviet Socialist Republic collapsed it all became a economic wild west investment land grab. You had adverse players foreign corporate raiders, local national citizen interests reclaiming rights, organized crime syndicates and anyone willing fight for better financial fate regardless manner ethical or not. Yes, the legitimate tycoons many started out mob style how do you think Las Vegas was built a collapsed or weakened government means weak laws or authority reach as did a rural desert's isolation southwest U.S.
Amazing time working inside nations developing their own national presence and the consort of players. Business opportunity the roe competition comes many forms of aggressive natures. The people personally have their graces yet their business side errodes human equality as the commodity human trafficking evidence ruthlessness on display. It was a part social presence even under soviet social norms the side bribery and corruption understand American cigarettes and Bourbon as tips offered more advantages opening doors entrusting favors for a woman professional as women in the workplace were seen then as a lesser payroll novelty one capitalizes upon. Inequality thrives certain places socially suppressed economic reasons allows continued inequality enabled profits.
East Ukraine is the wealthiest hold evidence over the course past 15 years new natural gas or oil reserves most found in Crimea and taped for development. Also, geopolitical location garners them full control over the Sea of Azov as a prime Naval interest controlling the Black Sea Region. The other economic interest holding this asset into developing that new fuel pipeline being built under the Black Sea that will eventually deliver into the EU through Greece & Italy. If the land or territory held the Russian Federation there is no need a economic allowance as pipeline in Alaska pays returns to Alaska's citizens. There are 12 pipelines that feed Europe natural gas and crude oil 5 are in Ukraine and 4 in Belarus this means bulk these income through exports generate costs toward them for infrastructure tolls or compensation. Hence the Russian Federations economic bottom line if shared with Ukraine under fair trade practice!
Yes, Ukraine has two sides a Russian demographic and Ukraine demographic over history old Russia did for political reasons committed genocide a liquidation ethinic Ukrainians 1930's enabling Russian colonization into the most economically suited land holdings. It is history none the less as Sochi well was former Circassia during (1763-1864) the last stand Sochi were a last futile stand of native peoples were crushed via a mass military massacre. Many the Circassia-Russian war survivors too fated human trafficking history supplementing revenue through Ottoman Empire. Attention the media news Ukraine this is not a random militant group packing military grade weapons and military grade camo-fatigues as well as riot gear. The cost war gear serious money or military backing "cough -Putin". They must have a operation funding disguise this someone on the take.
Assume if this a business venture a crime syndicate the best would understand trafficking and funding the enterprise without directing the source steal direct from Ukraine to subsidize this economic venture plus cover-up Russian involvement along with a powerful political influence insider. Well the Ukraines know him as "Vikor Yanukovich" the amount this Russian mafia king-pin squirreled away was $100 million dollars from the Ukrainian Government and their citizens of course they needed a strong political asset hence where did the former Ukrainian president fled Russia. $100 million an obscene amount not go unnoticed without a high political official corruption too must be reverted other scapegoats and continue.
It created a weaken status for the Ukrainian nations economic status gradually. 2010 a policy was signed former Ukrainian president the Russian government lease a Naval facility in Crimea. This power play operation so clever that they got sloppy at the end. The clue look was advancement attacks on neutral political minorities didn't become apparent till later they saturated there operations. The lesser minorities are usual indication social or political health the Ukrainian Jews saw propensity violence not gradual or early but well after separatist acts reached it's height upon Kiev than the lesser communities.
2014 their operatives cleared all vestiges Ukraine flags or colors in their camo-fatigues Crimea naval base so Russian high officers staged perfect dress uniforms and shined shoes demonstrate media propaganda they didn't lift a finger alter this outcome. It was classic U.S. business hostile business takeover/mergers for corporate profit liquidation turnovers that incur 1980's -1990's. Before announcement new merger business executives dress and groom impress before the media with PR speech ready. The EU slow action aid not a surprise acclimated years living next door an iron curtain as allie existed U.S. The E.U. failed pushing Ukraine entered the E.U. and advancing trade resources another E.U partner. The E.U. imports 68% their energy resources most per the Russian pipeline. Again, the U.S. involvement placed only 600 troops not larger amount if the E.U. is paying attention. Meaning allied resources are lessening since WWII our investment including the Marshal Plan Europe for the most part is restored after war contributions are being weened as any developed nations should.
What the U.S. any nation or business is trying stave off this message to Putin: "if we give you a job or entry any nation is not a permissible factor despite origin of employee or resident justify another nation's agenda compliance due the factor former compatriot. They had a choice Ukraine was forming a new nation if desired Russian compatriots could leave but choice was present holdings too lucrative let go. The only valid argument equality factor any expatriate understandable eliminating mass refugee status not casting pearls before swine actions that upset further harm or instability these people or neighboring nations avoiding a boars tusk of civil conflict.
Putin devised this a manner that it goes his way or the instigation of civil war to decimate opposition! Cleaver hostile takeover strategy and displace key guards instigate discord and removal key individual that can ratify objections. The government building takeovers are too well organized against supposed internal government security forces such as police or military. The Ukrainians limited themselves acclimated outsource security training Russia primary instead diversify after the U.S.S.R collapse among future economic and security diversification allies. Truth any business or politics diversification is better than dependent upon limited trade clients and imperative growth diversification.
Most often as businesses or nations grow range they cut out diversification lesser or distant options for ease but once the prime client disappears so too economic security. Putin is not worried as Ukraine operation pre-funded through Ukraine government treasury and cut off the governments primary income generating nucleus Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. Historically this region plagued has known strife reasons either ancient kingdoms or the common trade routes Middle East or Silk Road towards the western Europe; even the first strategic action of Hitler's Second War campaign the underestimated value was U.S. making Russia a much harder opponent. Many reading may disagree but evidence is evidence the actions so transparent if you look back closely you see all the power play activity. As success loomed near they stopped being cautious and pre-celebrated too soon.
Assure other former U.S.S.R nations will understand including East Berlin natives prior Berlin wall there were indicators as well as silence actions through organized crime activity! Sanctions really, they knew the outcome coveting a valuable commodity was worth a little slap on the wrist why it happens on U.S. Wall Street most will risk paraded in FBI handcuffs. This is Putin's economic agenda for Russian Federation they can care less a slap on the wrist from Ukraine nor anyone and no one within Russian Federation will shed a tear the advantage costing another nation. Well, if persist a broken pact sovereign right other nations means the ruthless order deserves denial respecting their sovereign integrity or future economic objectives as nothing less but hostile.
Time abroad made reasonable contacts and prior employment witnesses numerous issues including corporate espionage the acts are so similar political infractions. These contacts offer an uncensored and emotional riddled view easily separated knowing these source personas. The next business engagement any successful business engagement is a IPO party all business executives do acquisition success and Initial Public Offering promotions laps among investor. Anticipate these celebrations about Crimea unification garnering: reaffirmation support, market investors opportunity and display segment dominance. Catering toward IPO parties as contractor, employee or potential investor it is nothing more propaganda quelling nerves.
Aspects this or array IPO party determines investment risk experience enables pre-analyze their acquisition fate. As rally opposition demonstration plagued violence displays strong arm intimidation and public relations control also invites inclusion toward outcome. Analyzing opportunity and loss mindset impact upon E.U., Russian Federation, U.S. Middle East and Asia trading and anticipate the next move. Agendas are clearly defined the next actions other economies can promote another global economic and political shift. Displaying alliance agreements and/or shortfalls. This is also impacts future political election models on a global scale as who will be elected next. Following turmoil Ukraine imperative lesson profiling business, politics, military and life is all about acquisitions, loss and history foretells more will unfold.
