Farmers in Ukraine, the breadbasket of Europe, have run out of fuel. Two weeks into Russia’s assault on Ukraine supply chains are disrupted and a critical shortage of fuel for tractors and trucks is pushing Ukraine’s agricultural sector toward collapse. If it does not secure diesel soon, Europe could face massive price spikes for agricultural commodities and challenging food shortages.

I have so observed.

Repeal that idiocy and problem solved.
Why is the US the only country with the “baby forumla crisis”?
“shut up.”
If you’re going to post photos you can at least provide some info on them, such as date and place, so those on the thread can get a reference as to what they are. Hell, to me they look like a Louisiana grocery store right before a hurricane.
You just toss crap in willy-nilly. You just make stuff up. You are what is known as a provocateur.
“an imaginary food crisis”

Well, at least some places are well-stocked against a rainy day!

Okay. You've got me curious. What would make somebody "a regular Walmart looking customer"? I don't shop at Walmart, but just in case I'd decide to someday, I'd like to know how to avoid standing out as unusual somehow.
Like most crises, its manmade. Same organization that says MrNA serums are good for ages 5-11 has kept one of the largest plants shut down for a while.
Wow. This should be posted as a separate article, Louie.
Ukraine supplies 90% of Europe’s sunflower oil, used for cooking purposes. So Europe gets screwed here.
Very true.
The Duran just released another video

Kremlin hardliners and the Special Military Operation
The gist is that Putin is now getting a lot of criticism for being too cautious especially from other Kremlin insiders and that there are fears the West will continue to expand the conflict including with some NATO troops. Putin’s critics want him to go on an all out war footing throughout Ukraine, instead of this special military operation.
I posted the following Ukrainian insider post earlier today that increases concern that the west is determined to ratchet this up.
Slavyangrad - Gleb Bazov
Another report on the NATO command group in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, from @Legitimniy (also a Ukrainian “insider”-type Telegram channel).
Our source reports that the West is increasingly willing to control the entire Ukrainian crisis. Therefore, the Pentagon wants to introduce compulsory military control over the Ukrainian armed forces.
It is planned to deploy a special group of officers of the US armed forces in the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense. They will not only be advisers, but also have the authority to directly issue orders to Ukrainian units and formations, as well as cancel orders from the higher command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard. In case of refusal, Washington plans to delay funding and arms supplies to Kyiv.
The source adds that the Pentagon is extremely dissatisfied with the current level of military planning, as well as the organization of hostilities on the part of the Ukrainian command (it is one thing to sit in defence in cities, and quite another to go into the fields on a counteroffensive). This opinion is shared by the State Department and the Biden government.
Therefore, it is planned to deploy a group of high-ranking American military men with very broad powers in Ukraine. Formally, they will be advisers, but at the same time they will have the right to give orders to the Ukrainian forces, as well as cancel orders of the Ukrainian higher command.
But, according to our source, the Ukrainian General Staff is against such an appointment. They believe that the US military does not understand how to counter the Russians. And all the advice previously issued by the Pentagon ha led to failures at the front. That is, each side blames the other behind the scenes. So far, this whole story remains purely behind the scenes and a secret.
As the Duran analyst always says...”The West has no reverse gear” :-(
“Looks like the author has turned on his masters in these recent articles you’re posting.”

The thing with propaganda is that you eventually have to do a 180 and say “Wow, there’s been a sudden change!” as a cover for having spread BS.
It’s along the same line as polls that will offer up improbable “outcomes” but suddenly switch to a different outcome as an election gets closer. Like the media and Ukraine, they know they can only deny the reality for so long.
And how much you want to bet Biden and company will be exporting what little there is? Muh Ukraine, of course.
When poeple ask me who to thank, I'll point to the house that had a Biden sign on the lawn.
There, fixed it for you
It’s yours, if you’re so moved.
:D
This is what he was:

* Expensive hair-cut, stylishly done
* Expensive watch, shoes.

* Well spoken
* White male.
My local farmer, hasn't even bothered with 1/3 to 1/2 of what he normally plants. It's just sitting there. The corn is coming up in the other areas he's planted.
Thanks for the info. Not too many items on the list would apply to me.
