Mar 20, 2023 — Putin said that if the deal were not renewed, Moscow could supply free grain to "especially needy African countries", without elaborating.

There are a lot on this thread that missed the Russian offer of free grain to needy African countries.

We just hear the tired "starvation" Narrative from their cable news providers or their IPhones.

I wonder when the cracker dispensers are going to be attached to their Media devices [neoconned wanna cracker? raawkk! RAAWKK!!]?

Russia offered them free grain

That’s news. Be sure to post your source. Getting it there might be a bit harder, since they have to use uninsured ships. So promises, promises. Not to mention interdiction.

nice slur by the way - do you treat everyone with a different point of view or is it personal?

Good to see that the Leftists are at least now ADMITTING that Russia did not target the church. I suspect their focus groups weren’t buying that crap.

As it is, the reason for ending the ability of Ukraine to ship out grain has NOTHING AT ALL to do with Ukraine, but rather is intended to make clear that any thoughts by the Neocons of trying to force their way into (what were) Ukrainian ports, will no longer be credible, as the port facilities no longer exist...and given that the ports were the primary way arms were sent to Ukraine, this move will not be liked by the Neocons.

...and the fallout is already visible on the Northern Front, where Russia has advanced 5 km or so in the past day (more than the ‘Greatest Counteroffensive Operation’ advanced in 6 weeks).

Russia is making itself a pariah for generations to come.
——-
Let me bring you up to speed. Vlad’s African summit two weeks ago resulted in overwhelming support for Vlad. Their summit leaders acknowledged the fact the grain deal Vlad signed resulted in 90 percent of grain going to the EU! …

…and Vlad was shipping his grain to Africa for free! …needless to say, the African leaders were upset with the mis-direction….and more than a few African leaders affirmed their backing of Russia…..senile Joe has lost the support of Africa….old boomerang Joe at it again.

Bodes not well for his corrupted administration….” God save the Queen “, quote from senile Joe, Biden is gone, toasted, Great War cheerleader you decided to back. Amusing, very amusing!

If they wish to continue punching themselves in the face

I think they're actually punching Vladimir Vladimirovitch Putin in the face. It seems to be working!

Seems near.

Maria Zakharova’s briefing on the 20th I’ve yet to see referred to that explains the genuine nature of the conflict occurring within Ukraine:

Question: Why is Russia forced to fight with Ukraine and cannot pose a threat directly to the United States itself, so that they, in turn, think about supplying further weapons?
Maria Zakharova: Russia is not at war with Ukraine. Russia is repelling hybrid aggression from the West. His “bargaining chip” was Ukraine: a hostage, a victim, and a toolkit. We need to clearly separate these things. It’s like that same manipulative story. Everything seems to be obvious. There is Russia, Ukraine, there is a conflict. For the uninitiated, who do not know either modern or global history, it may look like this. Unfortunately, this is exactly what is presented in the Western media, it is promoted in remote regions of the world, not so dedicated to events. In fact, this is not the case.

All these decades, Russia has had no desire to do anything other than cooperation. We recognized the sovereignty of Ukraine, built true relations of respect for it as a sovereign state, exchanged embassies, concluded international agreements, sent ambassadors at the political level. All this spoke of a special relationship, but at the same time respect for sovereignty. Moreover, never in all the decades before the coup d’état of 2014, which launched the destructive dynamics of the collapse of statehood in Ukraine, Russia did not make any claims, did not raise the question of the ownership of Crimea. I only helped my compatriots. On the basis of bilateral relations, she developed humanitarian and economic ties. The agreements on the basing of the Black Sea Fleet were exclusively within the legal framework. They were beneficial primarily to Ukraine, which receives colossal funds for this. There was not even any intention to exacerbate problematic issues, to bring them to conflict situations.

But the West appeared. Immediately after the beginning of Ukraine’s sovereign path. I’ve been there before, but illegally. Then he began to “legalize” his status. The state bodies of Ukraine were “stuffed” with special services, primarily the United States and NATO countries. Places in government structures began to be occupied by foreigners, people directly affiliated with foreign countries, having passports, residence permits, grant support and pursuing Western interests. Accordingly, the destruction of the statehood of Ukraine began, putting it under the control of the West. Then puppet figures and the government are installed. Under the dictation of the United States, the connection that we had with Ukraine, both within the framework of the USSR, both before and after, began to collapse.

Then this country began to turn into a NATO training ground, preparing to become another NATO base with an obvious aggressive goal against our country. All political and diplomatic efforts, opportunities and proposals were made to resolve this absolutely absurd issue. Because we were given assurances about the non-expansion of NATO to the east. It [the issue] would be resolved by political and diplomatic methods. All proposals on our part were made, but they were rejected by the West. Accordingly, against the background of the growth of nationalism, which appeared not ten years ago, but has long been implanted and nurtured by the West, coups d’état and the collapse of statehood took place. All this led to the beginning of direct clashes between NATO and Russia.

Let me remind you that in the summer of 2021, during the exercises, a British destroyer broke through the Russian border in the Black Sea. In the autumn of 2021, a dangerous rapprochement between NATO aircraft and civil aviation from both Russia and other countries was recorded in our airspace. What kind of Russian-Ukrainian conflict can we talk about when it comes to the actions of the alliance led by the United States, Great Britain and their satellites such as the Baltic states and Poland, to unleash a conflict on the territory of Ukraine directed against our country. To this must be added the economic sanctions imposed on Russia long before 2022, which aimed at the economic “strangulation” of our country, its “making” dependent on Western countries. The energy sector was one of the main “points of attraction” of the West to Ukraine in order to put the transit of Russian gas to Europe under control. An absolutely normal economic project, from which Ukraine received large incomes, which was purely peaceful, focused on the cooperation of the entire European continent, stood like a “bone in the throat” of the United States. They constantly used it as a sore point, undermined this story in order to control the supply of Russian gas to Europe, influence pricing and create an unnatural zone of tension and instability around energy issues on the European continent in order to replace it with American gas and completely control the whole situation. I could not help but react to this, based on your phrase.

As for your question, let me explain. The aggressor is not Russia, but the United States. And we repel this aggression.

It pays to read the Federation of Russia daily news briefings, western MSM is clearly guilty of crimes of “ ommision”…..the world knows this, when do Americans wake up?

If they already were a pariah, how will this make them a pariah?

Some of you make no sense.

Historically, hasn’t Ukraine been a part of Russia for centuries?

Many of the Westerners admitted this recently.

And Alaska was as well. Seems the Russians need a new Real Estate guy.

Perhaps they should t have given it to the Ukrainians in 1991.

Except I didn’t refer to her as she is, from you post, an Russian propagandist. As apparently are you.

I wouldn't put it past the deceitful West to try and interdict free grain shipments to Africa.

The mere fact you cheer lead for such a cowardly action speaks volumes.

You miss so, so much monitoring your “ enemy”. The world believes her more than your senile old war cheerleader or his morally corrupted Transxyz’s spokeswoman…quite a bubble you live in…..your “ leadership “ is the world’s laughing stock.

It is getting so laughable.
