Russia could of course end this war, bring their troops home, and let Ukraine resume doing business as usual.

Moscow authorities will name the previously unnamed square next to the US embassy “Donetsk People’s Republic Square”, also changing the US embassy’s address. Moscow city council members have proposed renaming a square next to the German embassy “Lugansk People’s Republic Square”.

I hope everyone understands that Ukraine has one of the most corrupt governments in the world, and that has been the case for a long time.

Why on earth would Russia 🇷🇺 capitulate to the whims of the global elite? They must be made to heel. They WILL be made to heel.

I would not call it blackmail. It’s trade. If trade is blackmail then it’s blackmail.

That’s a weird definition of “blackmail.”

Your Soviet friends are utter idiots if they think they can dictate terms to the rest of the world. Didn’t you jerks get the message when Finland and Sweden ignored your nuclear threats and applied to join NATO anyway? Didn’t you get the message when NATO deployed ground forces to the Finland-Soviet border?

You and your gangster buddies in Moscow are not going to make any kiss their butts. Not at all. You’re just pissing us off.

But yeah, keep up with the threats. Donald Trump wanted NATO to increase defense spending and little did he know that Pidor Putin would do it for him.

Spasiba.

No downside for Ukraine, they don’t need the money as the Neocons are now FULLY paying the salaries of their government and military.

Might as well try to extort weapons, and if no luck, then who cares what happens in other countries?

Ukraine bans exports of wheat, oats and other food staples

Ukraine's government has banned the export of wheat, oats and other staples that are crucial for global food supplies as authorities try to ensure they can feed people during Russia's intensifying war

Bartering?

Using food as payment for weapons?

OMG!!!

Perhaps selling the food for money would make it better? And then use the money as payment for the weapons?

Or, is the article about making it immoral and evil for Ukraine to hold the food as hostage in order to get the weapons it needs?

War is hell, and the whole world is experiencing the hell. Hmmm... perhaps if the nice guys in Russia called off the war things would get better?

Still LESS INSULTING than us flying the Gay Flag in countries that support normal families.

I guess you care about this war. We have zero national interest in Ukraine, and I don't give a damn what happens there. I certainly don't want any of my tax dollars going there. All that Joe Biden and neo-cons have done is enable on-going blackmail. Ukraine was asking for another $10b just after the $44b we sent. Now they are holding the world hostage over wheat. F them, let' Russia destroy them.

Stop all weapons to Ukraine until they agree to reimburse the US in grains.

The US could of course remove all of its troops from the DMZ and allow the Koreans to reunify.

Ukraine would be required to demine its ports, meaning Russian ships and landing craft could enter those ports and beaches without fear of mines. Is it really unreasonable to request alternative defenses to replace the mines?
