Why is Barron so concerned about the "color revolution" taking place in Ukraine?
This is naturally not the reason for his own preference, but mainly because, after this, they will prepare to start investing in Ukraine.
After Ukrainian President Yanukovych fled to Russia, the country will begin to completely turn to the West...
To be precise, except for the eastern region of Ukraine where ethnic Russians make up the majority, other regions of Ukraine will begin to open up to Western capital.
Although the color revolution that just occurred in Ukraine will pave the way for the Russo-Ukrainian war a few years later, when Russian troops will enter Ukraine in large numbers, the areas west of Kiev are basically safe as long as they are far away from its military facilities. Still no big problem.
"But now in Ukraine, neo-Naziism has begun to prevail, and far-right forces may dominate this country..."
Nigel's meaning is obvious, that is, Ukraine's domestic environment will definitely not be stable in the future, so their investment still needs to be made after research.
The so-called "neo-Nazi" doctrine is somewhat different from the Nazism in Germany during World War II...
Of course, they are very similar in nature, both based on "racism" and "populism".
For example, during the square protests in Ukraine not long ago, the songs sung by the protesters were adapted from Nazi songs that have been banned in Germany. After that, more and more young people in Ukraine joined the "New Nazi" organization, there will be many Nazi symbols including the swastika flag and the SS skull and crossbones logo.
"But they're not stupid. They know who they can't afford to mess with, right?"
In fact, it is not just Ukraine. In many areas where the economy has been hit, ultra-nationalist "Neo-Nazis" can easily appear. For example, some countries in Eastern Europe, and even in Europe and the United States, many Neo-Nazis later existed.
Unlike the German Nazis who hated Jews during World War II, neo-Nazis often pursue "white supremacy", just like in some countries including Eastern Europe. In their eyes, these neo-Nazi hatreds have taken away their jobs and squeezed their living space. of immigrants of color.
In Ukraine, the targets of neo-Nazi hatred are mainly ethnic Russians.
At present, Ukraine is becoming more and more divided. The eastern region, dominated by Russians, is more inclined to Russia; in other regions, ultra-nationalism is becoming more and more popular.
This will lead to the subsequent "de-Russification" policy of Ukraine and the promulgation of laws banning the speaking of Russian. In panic, the eastern regions began to hold "referendums" one by one, demanding independence and autonomy.
This ultimately led to the Ukrainian government supporting neo-Nazi extremist organizations including the "Azov Battalion" to massacre ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine in the name of "anti-terrorism."
Behind these "referendums" there is definitely Russia's support. However, the United States and the West are opposed to this. They themselves are not clean. Many "countries" including Kosovo originally used this method. The "referendum" split, if you are in the first year of junior high school, and others are in the fifteenth year of junior high school, even if they protest, they are not so tough.
At most, it's just to throw dirty water on the referendum in Ukraine's eastern region in public opinion. You said that Ukraine massacred the people there?
No, NO, NO... I won't report it, nor will I admit it. Anyway, the public can't see it, it just didn't happen...
But speaking of it, Barron doesn't care about Ukraine, but he can indeed gain benefits there.
Ukraine's fertile black soil and rich mineral deposits are extremely valuable to Europe. In this matter, Europe naturally needs to stand on the side of Ukraine. In this case, BlackRock will definitely not be allowed to The group is more beautiful than ever before, and European capital should also invest in it.
In this way, European wealth funds need to make their presence felt.

"If the government needs it, the British Fortune Times (BFT) Fund can return part of the funds again..."
As mentioned earlier, the British government was facing financial constraints. At this time, Cameron thought of the BFT fund that the British government had invested in before.
During the previous "Broadband Promotion Plan", the BFT Fund had returned 25% of government debt and corresponding interest in order to help the British government raise funds.
"Although now is not the right time for the BFT Fund, if the government needs it, I will naturally provide support."
Barron told Cameron:
"The BFT fund will be able to repay 25% of the total debt and interest again, which will be more than £14 billion, but I have one more proposal, Mr Prime Minister."
Although the BFT fund is said to bear all 50 billion pounds of debt and interest, in fact the fund originally only had 25 billion pounds of funds - 25 billion pounds of which were the debt of Northrock Bank when it received the government bailout.
However, after Barron's investment, the current asset size of the BFT fund, even excluding the additional funds injected later, is fully able to repay all 50 billion pounds of debt...
After all, the exchange rate of the pound against the U.S. dollar was still relatively high at the time. Initially, Barron's converted 25 billion pounds of funds into about 52.5 billion U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of about 2.1.

Before the subprime mortgage crisis, these funds invested in gold spot and futures, and signed bulk purchase agreements with some large oil companies to go long on crude oil prices, eventually expanding their asset size to more than $70 billion.
Next, during the subprime mortgage crisis, the BFT Fund "bottomed out" some financial capital in the United States.
Among them, it purchased $25 billion of convertible bonds of Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch Group, and finally converted it into 1.429 billion shares of Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch Group, accounting for about 19.97%. These assets are currently worth about $40 billion, with a profit of about 60%!
With $8.5 billion in funds, it acquired 20% of Morgan Stanley's common stock. Morgan Stanley's current market value is about $56 billion. The shares held by the BFT Fund are worth $11.2 billion, with a profit of about 32%!
With $10 billion, BFT Fund acquired about 8.5% of JPMorgan Chase's shares. Currently, JPMorgan Chase's market value is about $200 billion. The shares held by BFT Fund are worth $17 billion, with a profit of 70%!
With $20 billion, it acquired 16.7% of Wells Fargo's shares. Currently, Wells Fargo's market value is close to $220 billion. The shares held by BFT Fund are worth $36.75 billion, with a profit of 83.75%!
In addition, BFT Fund also used $6 billion to purchase 5% of Pfizer's shares. Because these were purchased relatively recently, they are currently worth more than $10 billion, and there is also a profit of more than 66%!
In other words, the value of these assets alone is close to $115 billion. According to the current exchange rate of about 1.67 pounds to the US dollar, these assets are equivalent to 68.86 billion pounds, far exceeding the total debt and interest of 50 billion pounds of the British government undertaken by BFT Fund!
This is indeed unbelievable to others, as it is equivalent to Barron using the initial capital of 25 billion pounds, and after the final operation, it expanded it by nearly three times - considering the scale of funds and the low risk factor of its investment, it is a miracle.
