The end result is that the US-led West’s latest fake news narrative about Russia has completely flopped after Africa defied American pressure not to buy that country’s wheat.
The New York Times reported on Monday that American officials warned a handful of African countries in mid-May against buying what they claimed was grain that Russia had stolen from Ukraine. The timing of this report several weeks following that diplomatic event comes after African Union (AU) Chairman Macky Sall met with Russian President Putin in Sochi last Friday, during which time he denounced the US-led West’s anti-Russian sanctions that he said are directly contributing to food insecurity across his continent. This shattered the false narrative that Moscow is allegedly “blockading” Ukrainian ports and selling the grain that it supposedly stole from that country.
The Russian leader also explained during a TV interview later that same day how the global food crisis is artificially manufactured by the West, which summarized what the Russian Ambassador to the UN extensively elaborated on late last month. President Putin reminded everyone that this issue is actually caused by the economic consequences of the US-led West’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ukraine’s mining of its own ports, and the anti-Russian sanctions. The AU Chairman’s endorsement of the last-mentioned cause of this crisis powerfully debunks America’s lies about it since nobody can credibly doubt the sincerity of his words when he represents the countries most directly affected by this.
It’s not a coincidence that no African country has joined the US-led West’s anti-Russian sanctions, not even those whose governments were coerced by that bloc into voting against Moscow at the UN. They all know very well that Russia supported them during their anti-colonial struggles and subsequently helped them rebuild their nations afterwards. This Eurasian Great Power never participated in the so-called “Scramble for Africa” and has always been the continent’s most reliable ally. It wouldn’t ever starve the African people nor sell them stolen grain. To the contrary, it’s absolutely integral for ensuring many of these countries’ food security, ergo why it’s urgently dispatching such supplies to them.
The US-led West, on the other hand, has a despicable history of colonialism, neo-imperialism, and warmongering all across Africa. This civilization is infamous for killing countless people across the continent over the centuries and enslaving even more. It’s not trusted whatsoever at all but is simply an “ally of convenience” for many who appreciate the relatively open market access for their exports. Others, meanwhile, are ruled by Western-backed and genuinely unpopular leaders who cling to power by force. As for those strategically autonomous states that defied the US-led West’s pressure to publicly condemn and subsequently sanction Russia, Washington’s never been more furious with them.
That’s one of the reasons why America artificially manufactured the global food crisis and is now spreading fake news about Russia having allegedly stolen the Ukrainian grain that it’s shipping to Africa. Washington wants to punish those multipolar governments by provoking instability in their countries through the impending famine that it’s directly responsible for creating. It hopes that this will lead either to Color Revolutions and/or military coups to replace genuinely popular and independent leaders with foreign puppets, especially in West Africa which is nowadays one of the hottest fronts of the New Cold War.
In response to this Hybrid War threat, African countries are eagerly purchasing as much of Russia’s agricultural products as they can in order to avert that the American-orchestrated scenario of regime change being indirectly advanced by the artificially manufactured global food crisis. The end result is that the US-led West’s latest fake news narrative about Russia has completely flopped after Africa defied American pressure not to buy that country’s wheat. It’s for that reason why the MSM is now pushing the lie that it was stolen from Ukraine in order to discredit those states in the court of Western opinion, but they could care less since ensuring food security is understandably their top priority.
Buying grain from Russia beats starving to death.(See below article)
Italy’s Salvini Warns Food Shortages Could Cause 20 Million African Migrants To Enter Europe
I think that the Africans are going to put the Euros operating in their countries to torch and knife by winter.
It is going to be a bloody massacre and they won’t get any natural resources from Africa at reasonable rate anymore, that is why Michel is hysterical in UN.
The Fake includes the images and footage of a Orc ship loading 20,000 tons of Ukraine grain from this pro-Orc blog. Meanwhile Ukraine farmers are being forced to sell 60% of their harvest in a continuing Ukraine propaganda push against harmless, sweet, innocent Russians who would never shell, night and day, innocent civilians nor forcibly take Ukraine children by the 10s of thousands to unknown destinations inside Russia.
Stop posting this pro-orc propaganda blog, please.
Good to hear that Africa is re-aligning away from the country that TOTALLY INSULTS them by flying the Gay Pride Flag at their embassies.
Yet another Neocon/Globalist defeat!!!
The nerve! The American regime gives the Africans the opportunity to starve for DC values and policies, only to be rebuffed. The nerve. We won’t see any such impudence when America is given the opportunity to starve for the DC oligarchs.
Doesn’t the West give Africa food for free ? We should stop it right now
Nobody cares who is the original sender, the point is that it should be on market.
India and China are loving our Gas boycott.
I guess you've never heard there's no such thing as a free lunch.
All that article really tells us is, realpolitik applies. Grain is grain, the end user doesn’t care where it comes from.
Just because African nations may choose to buy grain from Russia no questions asked, doesn’t mean their governments are not oblivious to the fact that if Russia hadn’t invaded Ukraine in the first place then Ukraine’s
1. Coastal waters would not be mined
2. Sowing seasons wouldn’t be disrupted
3. Harvests would’ve proceeded normally
4. Storage silos wouldn’t have been bombed
5. Railways would be business-as-usual
6. Terminals would be intact
7. Tractors would be less prone to landmines or theft
8. Ports would be in full operation.
They don’t care about Hunter Biden’s Laptop, Soros, Schwab, Azov Nazis, Finland / Ukraine joining NATO, or any of the other things that the West and Russia are at loggerheads over.
They care about one thing only: security of their food supply. For now that means buying from Russia.
But we had the same mentality in Europe over petroleum, coal and gas. As long as Russia wasn’t playing silly buggers Germany was quite happy to look the other way so long as Russia held up its end. Now Russia IS playing silly buggers, Germany is scrabbling around to find a more stable regime to supply it.
The Africans are no longer falling for Western propaganda, they need the food and energy Russia can provide and have no intention of shutting them out. They also put the kibosh on that WHO treaty which usurps countries sovereignty, I think they are finally wising up to the bs.
Gee, the commies didn’t change their rhetoric after all these years.
And it eventually came true lol
Oh so Africa wants Russian grain? Guess what? America will stop sending them gay pride flags now!
Not that I think Putin is a humanitarian, but he’ll make some money feeding the hungry instead of deliberately starving them as a power play.
You really hate America, don’t you? Just curious, but is there anything about America you like? Is there any enemy of America that you don’t support?
People gotta eat.
“The timing of this report several weeks following that diplomatic event comes after African Union (AU) Chairman Macky Sall met with Russian President Putin in Sochi last Friday, during which time he denounced the US-led West’s anti-Russian sanctions that he said are directly contributing to food insecurity across his continent.”
Terrible sentence. These dudes gat good info, and I like their attitude, but man! Someone seriously needs an editor.
Can someone turn that mess into a couple sentences? Hard to move past it.
“The Africans are no longer falling for Western propaganda, they need the food and energy Russia can provide and have no intention of shutting them out. They also put the kibosh on that WHO treaty which usurps countries sovereignty, I think they are finally wising up to the bs.”
Let’s hope so. Now if more Americans would see through this giant propaganda campaign!!!
So sick of, “Ukraine Good! Zelensky Hero!!! Putin Satan!” crap. Is anyone actually falling for this purposeful disinformation?
“Not that I think Putin is a humanitarian, but he’ll make some money feeding the hungry instead of deliberately starving them as a power play.”
Which is what the Deep State Department does, over and over. Between their insane regime changes.
The US (Deep) State Department is off the leash and out of control. And idiot Rs go along with it. Did McCain rise from the dead? Seems he’s running the show.
Back to 2004!!!
