Ukraine's farmers have found themselves on the frontline of russia's invasion. Their fields are mined, their silos are being destroyed, and their exports cut off. But Ukraine's farmers are fighting back.

So, you do agree Ukrainians have a right to defend themselves, but you still want them all to starve for the alleged crimes of a few?
WMarshal: "Where is your concern for Turkey killing Kurds?
Muslims killing Christians in Nigeria?
Your outrage is highly selective is indicative that you are both dishonest and have a low intellect."
Civil disturbances are a very different category from major nuclear powers' unprovoked invasions of smaller neighbors.
Plus, the U.S. has provided aid to victims in such civil disturbances.
What's at stake in both Ukraine and Taiwan is the dominance of western democratic values over old-time thug-ocracies.
If the thug-ocrats win this one, then we are right back to the world of 1938 or 1939.
We really don't want to do that again.
“So, maybe you can identify corrupt individuals in the Ukrainian government, and I can identify corrupt officials in the American government. And for this you wish our whole populations to starve? For this you believe we have no right of self defense against foreign invasion?”
Don’t mind those that hold a philosophy of “isolationism.”
As always, most U.S. citizens view of foreign policy falls somewhere in the middle :)
U.S. OFFICIAL FOREIGN POLCY
The officially stated goals of the foreign policy of the United States of America, including all the bureaus and offices in the United States Department of State, as mentioned in the Foreign Policy Agenda of the Department of State, are “to build and sustain a more democratic, secure, and prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community”.
The United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs states as some of its jurisdictional goals:
“export controls, including nonproliferation of nuclear technology and nuclear hardware;
measures to foster commercial interaction with foreign nations and to safeguard American business abroad; international commodity agreements;
international education;
and protection of American citizens abroad and expulsion”
Your desire to protect the corrupt playground of Hunter Biden and the other degenerate spawn of the establishment is so noble. /sarc
So you're going to help us put Hunter Biden & his whole cursed family in jail? And this has something to do with us helping Ukrainians defeat the Russian invaders?
Ukraine played the game and now they are paying the price. Good.

“UNSUBSTANTIATED DETRACTORS have claimed without evidence that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is a billionaire. With his financial disclosures and investigative journalists from Forbes indicating he is more likely a millionaire.
ZELENSKYY’s MONEY DOESN’T MATTER NOW
Be that as it may, right now Zelensky’s concerns are not limited to his personal finances. At the moment, the Ukrainian president’s only concern is the war which threatens both his own and his country’s survival.
In fact, the list of billionaires in Ukraine, as Forbes points out, has been reduced to only seven in the country due to the Russian invasion: Volodymyr Zelensky is NOT ONE of them, NOR has he ever been!
PETRO POROSHENKP
Yes, it was the former Ukrainian president, Petro Poroshenko, a well-known chocolate tycoon, who is one of the billionaires who has fallen the most on the Forbes list in recent months.
Poroshenko’s net worth was cut in half to about $700 million after a 75% drop in the value of his chocolate company, Roshen. The war in Ukraine forced him to close two factories in Kyiv and Boryspil.
KVARTAL 95
In the case of Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian edition of Forbes estimates that he has a fortune of 20 million dollars. MOST of his assets come from his holding of 25% of KVARTAL 95, a comedy show PRODUCTION COMPANY.
‘SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE’
This production company is responsible for the well-known political comedy ‘Servant of the People.’ The show stars Volodymyr Zelensky himself, who plays a high school teacher who is elected president of the country.
TRANSFERRED SHARES
Of course, Volodymyr Zelensky transferred his shares to the rest of the partners when he was elected president and everything indicates that he will recover them when he leaves office, whenever that may be.
YACHTS, PLANES, AND STOCKS?
As far as wealth is concerned, the $1.4 BILLION HOAX also spoke of five luxury yachts, three private planes and more than $60 million in shares in companies like Tesla, Meta or Saudi Aramco.
A HOUSE IN THE CENTER OF KYIV
As for properties, Volodymyr Zelensky DOES have a home in one of the most expensive areas of downtown Kyiv, although it is a modest home if we compare it with the standards of luxury that, for example, the Russian oligarchs and the truly wealthy of the world exhibit.
In fact, FORBES values Volodymyr Zelensky’s real estate possession at 4 million dollars, divided into: two houses owned by him, two co-owned houses, a commercial space and five parking spaces.
ZELENSKYY’s MONEY DOESN’T MATTER NOW
Be that as it may, right now Zelensky’s concerns are not limited to his personal finances. At the moment, the Ukrainian president’s only concern is the war which threatens both his own and his country’s survival.
“Ukraine played the game”
Ukraine dared to play the national survival game against the crazed Russian Invasion of demented Putin.
