Russia could of course end this war, bring their troops home, and let Ukraine resume doing business as usual.

Moscow authorities will name the previously unnamed square next to the US embassy “Donetsk People’s Republic Square”, also changing the US embassy’s address. Moscow city council members have proposed renaming a square next to the German embassy “Lugansk People’s Republic Square”.

I hope everyone understands that Ukraine has one of the most corrupt governments in the world, and that has been the case for a long time.
I hate Putin, Zelenskyyyy and Victoria Nuland with equal fervor.
Send our $40B worth of wheat moochers 🤪
I would not call it blackmail. It’s trade. If trade is blackmail then it’s blackmail.
No downside for Ukraine, they don’t need the money as the Neocons are now FULLY paying the salaries of their government and military.
Might as well try to extort weapons, and if no luck, then who cares what happens in other countries?
Ukraine's government has banned the export of wheat, oats and other staples that are crucial for global food supplies as authorities try to ensure they can feed people during Russia's intensifying war

Suckers!
Bartering?
Using food as payment for weapons?
OMG!!!
Perhaps selling the food for money would make it better? And then use the money as payment for the weapons?
Or, is the article about making it immoral and evil for Ukraine to hold the food as hostage in order to get the weapons it needs?
War is hell, and the whole world is experiencing the hell. Hmmm... perhaps if the nice guys in Russia called off the war things would get better?
Stop all weapons to Ukraine until they agree to reimburse the US in grains.
Ukraine would be required to demine its ports, meaning Russian ships and landing craft could enter those ports and beaches without fear of mines. Is it really unreasonable to request alternative defenses to replace the mines?
Hm, if I ever get mugged, I’ll demand that the mugger hand me his gun before I hand him my money.
It’s amazing how many things I would have thought totally ridiculous back in the 20th century are now the “conventional wisdom.”
LOL, like the “global south” has some entitlement to Ukraine’s wheat.
They best they can do is criticize Ukraine for wanting to protect their trade. That is not blackmail, that is common sense.
I’m sure Russia will be happy to step up to fill the slack.
America will continue to have shortages, but at least China will have wheat.
“Ukraine” is the NATO/UN globalists/US and UK Deep States.
This Duran analysis definitely worth watching. Things have certainly made an abrupt wind change due to developing Putin/Erdogan partnership.
Turkey is expected to kill Finland and Sweden NATO membership. Deals done for Turkey to provide consumer goods for Russia, handle Russian gas distribution (India handles Russian oil distribution) and now Russia and Turkey will handle grain distribution from Ukraine. Expected Putin/Erdogan summit.
Turkey and Russia are also interacting their financial arrangements (credit cards, currencies) which are likely to strengthen Turkey’s lira and lessen Turkey’s inflation concerns.
“Bolton” (I assume they mean John Bolton) heads a group attempting to create Turkey “regime change.” Things look bad for the west if he isn’t able to make that happen soon...small time window left.

Military collapse in north Donbass. Turkey & Russia move closer together as EU crumbles
Zubu is a Russian disinformation front. Reading their website is more of a waste of time than watching CNN.
Anti-Ukraine Posts aren’t allowed on Free Republic - It is Pro-Zelensky 100% of the time.
The Zubu tribes once ruled Mongolia. That figures. One can see it in the eyes of many Russians.
As for the illogical rants and conspiracy theories saturating the Net, maybe a disease affecting brains is behind the trend. Or maybe drugs.
