Europe is afraid. States invest in Russia.

From September 11 to September 13, in Vladivostok, Russia, the Eastern Economic Forum will be held, which, against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions between Moscow and the West, is of indisputable interest. For example, the opinion of businessmen regarding the prospects for the development of their business in Russia, investment in the Russian economy and possible partnership with the Russian government will be interesting.

It should be noted that even before the start of the Eastern Economic Forum, we can partially answer this question. We will be assisted in this by Freeport-McMoRan, which, despite US sanctions and Washington’s tough stance on Moscow, intends to conclude several highly profitable deals for itself.

All of us, Europeans, know perfectly well that the tone and degree of anti-Russian rhetoric is set by the United States and Great Britain. And, the first has a clear motive, and the second just a desire to indulge. The US motive is quite obvious. In Washington, they really want to quarrel between Europe and Russia, so that there will be no talk of any trade and economic relations. Then you and “Nord Stream 2”, and the food embargo and other barriers. In such a situation, Washington can, with more profit for itself, be friends with both Europe and Russia. And here again we return to the company Freeport-McMoRan, which plans during the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok to obtain priority rights to invest in the development of gold-bearing and copper-porphyry deposits in the Far East of the Russian Federation. Thus, politically protecting its European competitors from the very idea of ​​investing in this project, the American company is quite capable of obtaining such a tasty morsel in the territory of the Russian Federation.

While European companies think how well they are dancing on American bagpipes, US corporations are taking the whole pie. In this regard, I want to advise European companies to think about money and their own future, and not about other people’s pre-election dances.

The Eastern Economic Forum is first of all an opportunity for business to find new sources of development and investment objects in an attractive region. If you understand this, you can pick up your piece of cake.
