And how does this affect us? Like fuel, why an increase in price since we don’t really buy any from Russia or Ukraine. This is fearmongering-driven price inflation.

It will affect us as we will have greater exports for food due to supply issues from Ukraine and Russia to Europe and other localities which will drive our prices up.

Actually it does. It is not enough for Putin to have its oil to fund his conquests but now it wants the wheat of Ukraine. And the more it can sell to increase its threat to the free world the less US farmer may. Besides Canada and Mexico, China and the EuroUnion are big customers.

Our farmers buy fertilizer to grow crops, and a good amount comes from overseas. Try growing corn or wheat without it.

Oil is fungible, that’s why.
