Can NATO just say enough is enough? Attacking food storage will have as large of an effect as the use of a nuclear weapon. The loss in food supply, in theory, would be directly responsible for tens of thousands of starvation related deaths.
Can NATO just say enough is enough?
and upset Putin? they’re too afraid to.
NATO can say whatever they want, but they won’t do anything.
If all the previous war crimes weren’t enough, one more isn’t going to change anybody’s mind. :(
NATO is a defensive pact, you fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us. Ukraine isn’t a member but I support it’s application to join.
But the point her is that fucking with the food from Ukraine fucks with the rest.
It’s not a direct attack on NATO though. If Russia launched a missile at the UK then it would be on like donkey kong.
So if I send a Nuke to Ukraine and affects all the border nations we act o look they didn’t attack us…
NATO is basically trying to get Ukraine killed at this point.
Russian atrocities never end. Don’t ever forget Bucha.
So, food is about to get more expensive for everyone since this will effect markets on a global scale.
With the insane rate of increases in food prices lately, not just caused by this war, but also through cascading climate events, it was already very likely that there will be famine in at least some parts of the world. This only further exacerbates what is already a fragile situation globally. We may very well see significant global unrest and possible regime changes across the globe.
What will be interesting to watch is how it affects food prices in countries that didn’t import grain from Ukraine in the first place (like the US). I’m guessing there will still be a significant effect.
Wheat prices were up 77¢ according to a friend looking at fields that haven’t been contracted yet. That’s just this morning. Don’t know if they continued to rise or if they plateaued, but that’s what the response was in the Midwest.
The US is literally a world away with huge resources of their own.
It’s North Africa and Arabia that are going to bear the brunt of it, and Europe too to a lesser extent (they at least have more access to the Atlantic).
Dunno why you’re getting downvoted; messing with Ukranian grain has knock-on effects that’ll touch most of the world.
Probably bots from lemmygrad
