Vice President Joe Biden's Son Joins Board Of Largest Ukraine Gas Producer

I heard that was some new fake "humanitarian crisis" thing about schoolgirls in Nigeria.

Nigeria has big energy resources.  They could be next in line for American violence.

Most of the oil rigs in Nigeria are already owned by the American petroleum corporations (Chevron, Exxon-Mobil.etc), although some are owned by the Europeans (Royal Dutch Shell, Agip, and Total). Therefore, the US doesn't need to invade Nigeria. Nigeria is not gaining anything from its oil wealth. The entire Niger delta looks like an environmental catastrophe zone.

Apropos, a 2-year old article:

I did not know the Anglosphere already owns Nigeria.  Thanks!

Well.. you can say that the Anglosphere is gradually winning the battle for Nigerian oil against the French and the Italians. But you'll never know, when will the Chinese jump in to the fray.

It certainly makes it clear that the US wants to profit from Ukraine's resources while the Ukrainians get nothing but austerity and grinding poverty.
Let's hope the east and south jump off - it would void the contract unless renegotiated by the new leaders of the people's republic of Donetsk and Lugansk.

If the South and the East separates from Ukraine, then that'll leave the country in economic ruin. Almost all of the heavy industries are located in the East, while the important ports are in the South. The West have nothing other than the agricultural land.

Do you have a list of nations that also includes what the natural resource was that we exploited? Or can you add a column for it? It also might be nice to have a "primary benefactor" column that adds the corporate entity primarily involved in extracting the resource(s).
