F*** your food security concerns.

War does such. Not only kills but disrupts trade.

Want trade to resume? Quit bankrolling the war. YOU are the one profiting by this war, all suffering is your fault.

“He flounders around completely unable to come up with the means to reverse his countries decline.”

Turkey’s decline? The US is in the same boat.

China’s most senior foreign policy official, Yang Jiechi, told the US that it isn’t qualified to “speak from a position of strength.”

That’s the truth.

“All would be fine if the west quit attacking farmers and quit destroying food production.”

In numerous discussions with and articles by liberals it is apparent they believe the world would be better off with many fewer people. (Not them, of course.) There are ways to achieve that goal. China and Russia chose starvation as very effective. Russia on purpose and China because central control by a peasant who knows nothing about how economies work. Another way to achieve it is disease and, perhaps, vaccinations.

There are conflicts you win because the other side gives up or converts to your view. Then there are conflicts where the best you can do is create a lull in which to recover. The fight against the left is such a conflict. It will never go away. The best we can hope for is a lull in which to recover.

You are wrong. Totally and absolutely wrong

The US is not in the same boat as Turkey or even in a boat at all.

China is in complete internal turmoil from which there is probably no favorable outcome. The China of which you speak...... was

The Russians can tell the Ukrainians to ship their grain across the replacement bridge of the one the U.S. just blew up in Crimea.

Oh, I must’ve have been mistaken. Your brilliant response has convinced me of my error.

Nor does the west have the west’s best interests in mind.

Hard to disagree with that assessment either.

Right, its the west somehow "attacking farmers"

You can ask the Dutch famers about that.

I think his point is you wouldn’t have to rely so heavily on Russia if your own industry was firing on all cylinders. Russia has no obligation to feed the world for free.

That bridge is from Russia to Crimea. It is meant to bypass Ukraine, and does. So how would Ukraine get the grain there? Give it to Putin?

Ukraine can just ship the grain through Poland. Those trains bringing in weapons and ammo can return with the grain.

Holland is seizing 3000 farms. Ireland is culling cows...There’s more to the world than “Putin!”.

Reality check, Holland is not feeding the world, Ukrainian grain is.

I believe that in Holland, the farmers prevailed over those who would destroy the farm industry

It’s global in scope, and you only look at a singular instance.
You’re truly a blind fool.
Keep playing the one note horn…

It appears he has Erdogan’s and to a lesser extent, Turkey’s best interests in mind. I can’t fault him for that.

Exactly. It would guarantee the U.S. wouldn't blow it up again.
