    Post 1 states that Russia may enforce the embargo in a way disadvantageous to those imposing it, that Russia may refuse to export food.

    Reread Post 1.

    ?
    What happened to all that talk about how NATO is defensive?

    Because you live in an Ivory Tower with your eyes and ears covered and your lips sealed?

    What good is the US to humanity?

    I hate to answer your question with another question, but it's something to think about.

    What good is any country or any individual to humanity?

    In this case, Russia has taken the high moral ground by attempting to protect the people of Donbas from the western-backed Nazis in Ukraine, Nuland's Goons set up in 2014 with the help of John McCain and Barack Obama, and of course the Grifters Biden.

    Russia eats the weak, and slowly poisons the strong. No one invades Russia, Russia does the invading because they can and then justify it with childish reasons why. When I grew up their propaganda was much more refined than today.
    But… this isn’t about you. You are just stuck with the label.

    They are turning Ukraine into a moonscape. Mass murder is still a war crime, and a damn peculiar way of protecting people.

    The only one who knew the exact date the war would start in Ukraine was Biden. His cries about Russia attacking Ukraine, was an excuse to supply Ukraine with the illegal artillery they wanted. This way they could increase their attacks 30 fold on the civilian population of the Republic of Donetsk and force Russia to intervene to stop the genocide.

    Those genocidal attacks of the Russian speaking populations in the Donbas continue even today.

    War is busting out all over,
    from China to the Middle Sea.
    It's here and there, and everywhere
    as we shall shortly see.

    Now chaos is my middle name,
    which I am proud to say,
    and for the ones not in the know
    it's called our American way.

    Russia is a lot more productive than a country governed by those who invade and destroy one nation after another with no qualms, and who cover up their crimes with one lie after another. Not to mention their total indifference towards human life and welfare.

    Washington's old motto was: In God We Trust

    Washington's new motto: We're gods! We can do what we want when we want it.

    Take that you fools of misery.
    For we the gods of lofty see,

    who look at you from our great height
    and snicker at the motley sight
    of lesser beings, not as bright as we.

    As you well know, we run your State
    and are the masters of your fate.
    But's that's because we weren't fools
    who followed banal moral rules.

    We made our own, it was our right.
    that's why we now reign in our height;
    and not on earth, but in our stead

    of hubris and of bloated head.

    Who are you kidding with your Russian propaganda?

    How is it you have special insight into how Putin thinks? Curious minds want to know.
    The food crisis will be in poor countries, not Europe.
    Putin will get blamed for blocking food sales.

    If Putin invades a NATO country, he won't have to wait long for the response.

    You have to be a Russian or something. Only Russians speak this way about Putin. The guy deserves everything he gets and I will willingly thin down a few pounds to not support that trash bag.

    For those confused by the poorly written article, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council and former president Dmitry Medvedev said..... the West has to blame its own “cosmic cretinism” for the looming crisis.

    We've known for 6 months this would happen if Putin invaded Ukraine. It's a crisis because like everything else, there is no plan in place.

    Moscow has an excellent reputation in the free world, which constitutes 76% of the world's population. The US with its EU and Anglosphere colonies should worry about their own reputation. I don't think free nations like having sanctions imposed on them and hindering them from buying Russian wheat and fertilizer to ward off a famine. Lots of concern we have towards the lives of the people living in those countries, but then again what else is new.

    It doesn't matter though, the sanctions can only be traced through the dollar, so now the free nations are using rubles and it's freaking out Washington - or maybe Soros, after all they're one and the same.

    Not what Slimeball Putin has said about the Ukraine being part of Russia. Why are you promoting his lies about the Ukraine?
    Russian lies.

    Surprise, surprise! Vladimir Putin is the most respected world leader today. If you believe otherwise, then you're been brainwashed by the Western MSM.


    When Patrick Lancaster walked along the streets of Mariupol it was packed with bodies of civilians. Those videos of course were removed from Youtube. Why don't you find out from the Russian speaking natives in Mariupol who was killing them and using them as human shields - that is unless you don't care since it was Russians that were being killed. Well Vladimir Putin does care and those who aided their killings, will get their just reward. As he said, it is an eye for an eye.

    As for Mariupol, the city is being rebuilt as are the other towns destroyed during the Ukrainian retreat in their scorched earth policy - no doubt under Zalensky's orders..

    Easy, I read what he has actually says, not the interpretation and conclusions of what he is saying from the Western media. Everything he had done so far, has been a reaction to attacks coming from the West. As for what Putin wants, it's to have all the Russian people united with Russia. He said that the breakup of the USSR was the greatest tragedy of the last century, not because he wants to restore it, but because 26 million Russian people found themselves living outside of Russia.

    As for the other countries, he could care less about them unless they threaten Russia in some way, or aided Ukrainians in killing Russians. Then they should worry.
    Russia is the only nation with enough grain to supply Europe and they refuse to do it unless the sanctions are removed. The EU can't impose sanctions to destroy a nations economy, and then expect help from that same nation. They're not idiots.

    Of course he will, because liars will be liars. But the free world knows better, and I'm sure Putin will do everything he can to help the poorer nations survive - as he has many times in the past. He has forgiven many a debt.

    Anyway here's a bit of reality. Ukraine has some grain, but it can't be shipped from Odessa, which is under Kiev's control because they have mines floating all over the port and the Black Sea. There are also freighters that can't leave as well. The other route would be through Belarus, but Zalensky refuses to allow it unless more arms are given him.
