Another significant area of Russian income is the fact that Russia is the world’s leading exporter of wheat.

Now let’s take a look at how that’s been affected...

The Russia-Ukraine war is fueling the ‘biggest supply shock to global grain markets’ in living memory

How much did we really understand Russia’s contribution to the planet before we climbed on the bandwagon of fools calling for a severing of our relationship with Russia?

It seems to me we knew NOTHING… we researched NOTHING… we understood NOTHING… and just allowed ourselves to be driven by emotional hysteria manufactured by Washington! :?

Which brings us to another famous Confucius saying...

“When food is short eat bowl!”

...just an average Ukrainian. Worth watching.

“Zelenskyy says any compromises with Russia will require a referendum”

A referendum during a war? Is that Biden’s latest brilliance? :lol:

Unfortunately, I have a little feeling that all this tomfoolery can only lead to carpet bombing of Kiev!

And once that begins I give you 1-2 days before waving a white pair jocks! :roll:

So 11 political opposition parties are banned in Ukraine. Very nice.
Add to that he is now asking to hold a referendum on the peace agreement.
What is most puzzling though is why curfew for 36 hours?
What possible reason is there to force such control on the population?

New EU sanctions package looks unlikely this week

The EU’s foreign affairs chief has suggested there won’t be a further package of EU sanctions against Russia adopted this week.

Josep Borrell was speaking at a press conference, following meetings of the bloc’s foreign and defence ministers in Brussels.

“Formal adoption of sanctions requires procedure and I don’t think during this week it will be formal adoption of sanctions, according with our procedures.”

But he said when EU leaders meet later this week, for a summit in Brussels, they’ll likely consider “what else can be done".

He said the issue of energy had been raised by some ministers - but today wasn’t a day for such decisions, rather one for “analysing” possible future actions.

Borrell said there needs to be an “effective response which won’t lead to an unbearable cost for member states".

Run out of ideas to sanction already? Let me help... Pedo lube? Spanking whips? Cross-dressing size 43 stilettos? Marijuana? Blue pills?

And yeah, who needs Russian energy when we can use the diarrhea coming out of Brussels’ back side!

It’s an excellent blunder that not only exposes his dictatorial intentions, but it’ll make the opposition parties more inclined to collaborate with Russia to replace him. :)

And yet he has the fanatic right wing people in his government. He has totally lost it.

Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong for America, under Biden! :lol:

Let’s take a quick look… (in no logical order)

* Iran and Venezuela have completely turned the tables around and hold the oil-thirsty US by the balls.

* Russia has decisively demonstrated its resolve to repel NATO infiltration by calling all of the West’s bluffs.

* The US has exposed itself as unwilling to react to Russian determination in fear of nuclear fallout.

* Israel’s many years of foreign policy wins have been completely undone by Iran’s newfound status.

* The EU has been exposed as a very vulnerable entity heavily reliant on outsiders, unable to make its own decisions, and often in conflict between member states.

* The EU’s and the US’ already Covid-stricken economies have set themselves up for an even worse economic outlook thanks to poor decision making with respect to Russia.

* The US’ call for China to side themselves against Russia have fallen on deaf ears and in fact the opposite has happened.

* India has also rejected the US’ calls to side themselves against Russia, and the same goes for Brazil.

* The Saudis reject the US’ attempts to manipulate oil prices and are not even talking to them.

* Russia has expanded into multiple African countries offsetting the US’ presence and beyond.

* Russia and China have diminished the US’s nuclear threat with a technological edge.

* America is still politically divided right down the middle and with no end in sight.



This is by far the weakest and most isolated America I have ever seen in my many years of following politics.

There’s just so much piling on at an accelerated pace that it’s almost hard to digest all that is happening... but I’m not one to complain so bring it on and may it be the beginning of their irreversibly catastrophic, end!

I long for the moment when I'll be able to safely and permanently say... good riddance to utterly bad rubbish and let the world rejoice! :D
