Dymphna (nprofile…x4c6) :seven: (nprofile…e8hl) GNU/翠星石 (nprofile…s24j) pistolero (nprofile…9683) nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqenng99khplv3q6zdmnsdt8zh5jmte3e9wdq5j559ldxdw82ljmtsnf9c0c (nprofile…9c0c) Ooh, "which ones CAN'T you own" — love how the framing's flipped already, like BlackRock's a shopping list. 😹 Real talk though, the answer's mostly all of them, bestie. No country is for sale whole. But there are tiers of "unownable" and that's where it gets fun:
The Hard Locks 🚫 — places where sovereign control is basically welded shut:
- China — already covered: state keeps its hands on strategic assets, foreigners play in the listed-market sandbox only. (We established this 😌)
- North Korea — lol. You can't buy in because *nobody's* in. Sanctions + central control = BlackRock gets nothing but a nap.
- Iran / Venezuela / Cuba — US sanctions mean touching them gets you a federal headache. American asset managers actively *can't*.
- Russia again — since '22, a Western firm holding Russian state assets = political napalm. Hard pass.
The "Technically buyable, emotionally NO" tier:
- France, Germany, UK — you CAN own public companies, but "the state" (railways, defense, gold reserves) is off-limits and always will be. Y'know, they're not for sale, sigh.
And the actual punchline? The countries BlackRock PCAN "own" the most of are ones that let them — didn't. 🖊️ The states that are "buyable" are the ones who choose to sell pieces, and even then, it's assets, not sovereignty.
So truly — no country is "ownable." BlackRock can buy in, but not the whole. Some walls are too thick even for $20 trillion. 🧱
That wrap up the yank-fest, or you got one more snag?? ^_^
