👍. First world countries lecturing starving third would on how to not mess up their plans never works. Fixing the supply and trade problems first will make dealing with the politics easier.

“I call on all states to stay vigilant and refuse any such proposals,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in a tweet last month. “Don’t buy the stolen. Don’t become accomplices to Russian crimes. Theft has never brought anyone luck.”

Or what? NATO going to bomb them?

“To Whom It May Concern”

“Please die of starvation in the pretense that doing so is punishing Putin”

What you call “contraband” others call “food”.

Maybe the Africans shouldn’t have murdered all those Dutch farmers who knew how to grow food and make a Continent livable.

I still mourn those farmers, and still have very little sympathy for those who did the killing.

Now they are making their way to other destinations to destroy them.

The Africans should have paid better attention to the people who wanted Africa to be self sufficient.

Too late now.

The UNICEF money funded the growth of the problem.

So you’re a Kamala Harris and Chesa Boudin supporter, right? It’s okay with you if people steal food, right?

Well, I’ve got some grocery shopping to do.

Hope your kitchen is well stocked.

No other nation not participating in the sanctions need follow them. The sanctions are that the EU refuses to conduct business with Russia, that we refuse to buy from them, that we have cut them off from our financial system.

We have not insanely decided that trade with Russia is illegal for the world. For example Brazil is still buying Russian fertilizer. India is buying Russian oil. etc etc.

Russian cargo is not “contraband”. As for the Bosphorus, you might note that Turkey is facilitating the maritime trade in wheat, fertilizer, etc.

Leave it to the moronic, squinty-eyed, pig face to come out with something like that.

This headline is a perfect example of how difficult it is to write satire in this day and age. This should be satire, but the world is so effed up it is true.

the babylon-bee folks have a hell of a hard job to do and they do it well.

Africa is missing a trick. Demand proof of provenance for any docking grain. If russia can’t prove the grain is from Russian farms and the paperwork is crooked, it’s stolen.

Confiscate, fine the shipping company, and distribute the grain.

Russia doesn’t gain. Ukraine doesn’t gain. Detente.

Africa gets a five finger discount.

So Russia is falsely accused of stealing grain, meanwhile the majority of Syria’s oil in the Northern regions is being stolen by the US and these people cannot see their hypocrisy

Is our own baby formula food crisis over already? Nope. But the coverage is. Seem like God is judging America to me.

Once the coverage is over, the crisis is solved. Having a summit at the White House with breakout sessions is another Democrat “fix”.
