Looks like Ukraine just put Europe and maybe the world on a diet.

Brace For High Oil Prices, Inflation, And An Economic Slowdown

"According to Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, if the West sanctions Russian oil exports, the price for the commodity could reach $300 per barrel, and although this is quite an unlikely scenario, in reality, oil prices do seem to have quite a while left to rise."

Those in our Imperial Capitol are very happy.

Dont fault them one bit. Take of your own first.

Ukraine plus Russia = about 28% of global grain sales.

I don't see Ukraine planting any grain in 2022. Or Russia selling to the countries that are waging economic war against it.

Michael Yon calls it PanFaWar:

Pandemic, Famine, War.

But some folks are pushing hard for PanFaWar: it's all part of their plan.

"The worse, the better." Lenin

A wrecked global economy, a smaller global population, and Klaus as global leader.

PS: Uncle Klaus has a bust of Lenin on the shelf behind him in office photos. And he's on video bragging about how "The Soros Empire" succeeded "The Soviet Empire."

And to think that our government pays farmers NOT to grow.

We have lost our collective minds!

There will be a famine. It is being caused by the lunatics who are dismantling the fossil fuel industry. Natural is the essential component of fertilizer. It is now scarce and expensive. Farmers around the world project lower crop yields. The diminution of economic activity will leave people unable to afford what little food is available. The famine and resulting wars will have nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with lunacy.

I'd say that's on the Russian invasion. Can't expect a country that is being invaded and where people are going hungry because of that to export food.

Wait a minute... Ukraine is currently in a WAR, and all of its ports are under siege.

How could they export anything right now?

[wastedyears]

This whole thing is a movie.

Who wants to bet that gas, wheat, and a half dozen other consumer staples will be cheaper in Ukraine by the summer than they are in the US.

[circlecity]

Famine, pestilence and the sword.

[KrisKrinkle]

They "banned" it? Given their present situation, how could they export it if they wanted to?

[Kazan]

Russia needs to tighten the stranglehold it has one the Ukrainian troops in Eastern Ukraine so the farmers can get back to work.

[Tommy Revolts]

Are they at war with Europe or Russia? I forget.
