Here is the article from The Economist mentioned above:

We Are In An Undeclared Global Economic War, And Worldwide Famine Is Coming

"‘Western diplomats say reopening Ukrainian ports is not a practical option for at least six months."
(Then millions are going to starve and millions more will be on the march...Me, I'd be moving right now)

Well, blocking ports is considered an act of war. Of course so is invading a country.

They have the Moldovan port of Gurguleshti nearby and remove more wheat than ever through it.
The story is a nothingburger. The main problem with ports is not a Russian blocade but the Ukrainian mines.

The Economist is a leftist rag.

Food shortages are not because of Russia and Ukraine. They are because of the WEF/NWO and they are purposeful to advance the Great Reset.

Face it, no matter what wars we have been in the years before, we never ran out of baby formula and we never purposefully kept farmers in the midwest from having trains deliver fertilizer in advance of planting crops.

All of this is on purpose and the Russia Ukraine war is the excuse for what has been orchestrated. Population must be reduced and they are working very hard to make it happen.

Doesn’t Putin realize that sanctions go one way, and one way only; from NATO to Russia. That’s it. Any push back by Putin is a blatant act of war.

The US has sent or is sending the Ukranians ship killing missles so they should should be able to sink a bunch of Russian ships.

In both your cited cases we sought and got UN approval, even had allies join in. There was international consensus that in the case of Afghanistan we were returning fire from the 911 attacks, and in Iraq, we were finishing the job not completed from the 90 invasion of Kuwait, and failure of Saddam to abide by the cease fire terms.

So no, not at all like the US.

What was Pooty’s invasion of the Ukraine called? A day at the range?

Blockading ports is an Act of War. We should have let Ukraine keep all those nukes.

Russia now has control of 250 million tons of wheat allowing Putin to use the wheat as a bargaining chip for whatever he wants thanks to Biden and Obozo. When Obozo allowed the Biden Administration to close the Canadian Pipeline down and signed off on the Russian Pipeline to supply The European Market he sold out the World.

No we didn't, feel free to prove otherwise. Besides, why on earth would UN approval matter?

The Economist is a leftist rag.

A globalist, crony-capitalist, elitist leftist rag.

I remember their magazine covers cheering for the invasion of Iraq and Libya.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 678, adopted on 29 November 1990, after reaffirming resolutions 660, 661, 662, 664, 665, 666, 667, 669, 670, 674 and 677. These were followed by 687 in 1991.

United Nations Security Council resolution 1378, adopted unanimously on 14 November 2001, after reaffirming all resolutions on the situation in Afghanistan, including resolutions 1267 (1999), 1333 (2000) and 1363 (2001).

Take your ignorant BS accusations of US/Russia equivalency and shove em. I'm not wasting time with you today.

Let’s hope they put the entire Black Sea fleet on the bottom.

Nowhere, absolutely nowhere, does Resolution 678 "give permission" for the US to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. We are a constitutional Republic, not a pawn of the UN. Please stop lying.

Details[edit]

The United Nations Security Council, invoking Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, offered Iraq one final chance to implement Resolution 660 (1990) which demanded that Iraq withdraw its forces unconditionally from Kuwait to the positions in which they were located on 1 August 1990, the day before the invasion of Kuwait began.
