    The US paying to rebuild Ukraine and covering medical care for Ukrainian veterans and civilians is the one thing that could really shake my idea that the US is the bad guy in this war. I doubt the US is willing to pay the 100s of billions over decades that would take.

          if it helps I think people might loose money trying to loot the country. If they try and treat it like the eastern european goldrush in the 90’s they will likely find the rewards far more meagre than expected. In the 90’s there was tons of soviet infrastructure that could be got for a litteral steal now everything worth having is gone or destroyed in the war

          it’s more India in 1940 than india when it had kings who couldn’t fight a war to save their lives and palaces of easily portable gold

      The best you’ll get is american healthcare companies (just a disgusting chain of words) privatizing the Ukrainian public healthcare system that was a legacy of the Ukrainian SSR. Don’t think for a second America has Ukraines best interests at heart when there’s a buck to be made

      They’re definitely willing to let the IMF loan them the money to rebuild.
