Vladimir Putin has warned the west that Europe faces another influx of migrants caused by a global food crisis that is now inevitable.
The Russian President made the comments at a meeting on air transportation and aircraft manufacturing on Thursday.
Putin’s invasion of Ukraine prompted western sanctions and an energy squeeze that has left the stability of the global food supply in a precarious state.
Soaring international food inflation led the United Nations to warn that the Middle East is near “breaking point,” with food riots a real possibility.
“People’s resilience is at a breaking point. This crisis is creating shock waves in the food markets that touch every home in this region. No one is spared,” Corinne Fleischer, WFP Regional Director said.
People in western countries like the United Kingdom and America are also facing unprecedented food inflation and skyrocketing energy bills.
Putin laid the blame at the feet of western politicians who are willing to sacrifice their citizens’ interests in order to “enjoy the good graces of their overseas master and overlord.”
Calling such an approach “the opposite of populism,” Putin said, “People are urged to eat less, put on more clothes, and use less heating, give up on travel – presumably for the benefit of the people who are demanding this kind of voluntary deprivation as a sign of some abstract North Atlantic solidarity.”
While Putin blaming the west for the situation would undoubtedly be labeled Kremlin propaganda by legacy media outlets, part of what he says is true.
Earlier this month, billionaire-owned Bloomberg News told Americans to eat lentils instead of meat and allow their pets to die in order to save money.
As we previously highlighted, a government minister also told Germans they should cope with soaring energy costs by merely turning off the heating and wearing warmer sweaters.
Putin blamed the west for decisions that are “pushing the global economy towards crisis,” warning of a huge drop in living standards for westerners in addition to poverty and starvation in the third world.
He also asserted that the sanctions against Russia were “prepared in advance” and would have been imposed anyway “to curb Russia’s development” and to weaken its “industrial, financial and technological potential.”
Almost as if they planned it that way.
Of course, Biden will latch on to this as yet another excuse to flood our country with “migrants.”
Biden's fault! Pelosi's fault also. The Democrats fault.
Oh how I miss President Trump as leader in the White House.
‘Europe faces another influx of migrants’
“Camp of the Saints” by Jean Raspail
They knew exactly what would happen if Putin took their bait.
He got played, we’re being played and about to be destroyed, and they get their “end game” started.
Agenda 2030!
Thanks to the green lunatics, people around the world will soon be eating whatever they can find.
How is what is happening on our southern border right now not a migrant crisis?
Putin needs to get out of Ukraine.
The CIA, too.
Me too. Trump kept Putin on a short leash and gas was under $2!
Lol, sure Putin was forced to invade.
Then maybe Putin should knock it off and return to the status quo ante.
Just a thought.
L
Also the Vindmans and Victoria Nuland.
US Globalists: New Migrant Crisis? yes, Please!!
“Camp of the Saints” by Jean Raspail”
Oh Boy, YES!
What a great and prophetic book.
How’s those sanctions working out for you Mr. Xiden? Those “serious consequences” seemed to backfire like everything else you do.
What does Putin have to do with $1.75/ea chicken wings at the tavern? Or $5/lb. ground beef at the market?
Draft the migrants, train them and send them to Russia.
