Да, у нас нет картошки
У нас сегодня совсем нет картошки
Its like its 2023 all over again? Another economic collapse for Russia?
Putin needs to STOP killing off young Russian men by stopping the war - AND we might have some extra illegals for him to 'pick the crops'...
Potatoes take about 80 to 100 days to grow.
Harvesting is usually in August & September.
Other crops grow faster.
Russia has lots of land for crops.
“Its like its 2023 all over again? Another economic collapse for Russia?”
We’ll keep hearing the same until we finally exhaust the last 25% of what was a decent inventory of Patriot Interceptors. Then it’s on to the end game, which is NEVER recognizing the obvious, which is that Ukraine is no more. Yet another ‘great achievement’ of the Neocons.
Used to make Vodka.
“Ukraine is the fifth largest producer of potatoes in the world. Annually, the country produces approximately 20 million tonnes, similar to the U.S. Most of that, however, is grown in small-scale, backyard plots for domestic consumption, explained Gordiichuk, who is one of just 20 seed potato producers in the country. Only about 55,000 hectares are under commercial production.
“Ukraine’s main export market was Russia, said Gordiichuk, but that market closed in 2014 when aggression first began. In fact, today, Ukraine doesn’t export any potatoes. The European Union has been closed to the country since 2002 due to three quarantine diseases.”

Russian clerk: "You fool! This is the 'No turnips!'-counter. Over there is the 'No potatoes!'-counter."

Yeah, it really is a shame that we can't, like, make more!

Agree, at 550 Interceptors per year, maybe going to 650 per year (if China sells us the piece parts), that is essentially the case. Not to mention how depleted all our allies are, at this point.
...and for what - dragging out the Russian victory in Ukraine by a year or two?

I imagine the issue is personnel and fertilizer.
The fertilizer issues in the US have resulted in less than optimum crops. It’s noticeable in the produce section. Stuff is just smaller than it used to be.
Because of the lack of fertilizer and Ukrainian wheat crops, we should see some food issues in Africa later this year.
This is not new. I take most of what seems “hyperbolic” with a large gran of salt. But long term disruption caused by the war is inevitable. But Russians tend to be stubborn to a fault. Oh well.
25% of the people raise their own. They can be stored.

British Tabloid.
The Russian economy has already collapsed. The Russian economy has been on a war time footing for months now.
If you read the Daily Mail enough, you’ll come to believe that the only nation with economic problems is Russia.
Say wha?
