Putin says Ukrainian grain can be exported through Belarus
Reuters ^ | 6/3/22 | Reuters

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday denied Moscow was preventing Ukrainian ports from exporting grain and said the best solution would be to ship it through Belarus, as long as sanctions on that country were lifted.

Putin, saying reports of a Russian export ban were "a bluff", told national television that Western nations were trying to cover up their own policy mistakes by blaming Russia for problems on the global food market.

This is a very, very generous offer. Biden should thank President Putin.

And of course covid. Everything from high gas prices to food shortages and everything in between is because of Covid and Putin. And that's not just hyperbole, Biden has told us that time and time again.

“Western nations were trying to cover up their own policy mistakes by blaming Russia for problems on the global food market.”

That part is true. Joe Brandon, our Vegetable in Chief, wants to blame Pooty Poot (you see, the first syllable of his name sounds a slang term for passing gas. Get it? Pooty Poot and his gang of Pooty Pooters!) for a lot. Meanwhile, the USMC is tweeting about “Pride Month.” I’m not 100% sure that we are still Christian America fighting against the Godless communists.

You can find many stories that report only this quote, a very selective quote from a speech that had many other statements they don’t want to report.

Russia has denied blocking Ukrainian ports and called on Ukraine to remove mines to allow safe shipping.

“The Russian military has proposed corridors to allow foreign ships to safely leave ports along the Black Sea. “

“The mines planted by the Ukrainian armed forces hinder the export of grain, nothing else,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at Friday’s briefing. “After the sea area is demined, we will be ready to ensure the safe export of grain, including escorting transport ships to the international waters of the Black Sea.”

Bullcrap! The most cost affective way to ship Ukrainian grain is via seas and oceans. Meaning shipping out via Odessa. Same as our Midwest wheat, corn, soy are shipped down the Mississippi to New Orleans, then onward to foreign nations.

Just for fun, Russia should declare that only transgender grain can be transported through Belarus.

Also not reported:

“Yes, the Azov Sea ports - Berdyansk, Mariupol - are under our control, we are ready to ensure trouble-free export, of Ukrainian grain included, through those ports. Go ahead,” Putin said in an interview with the Rossiya-1 channel’s Moscow.Kremlin.Putin host Pavel Zarubin.

“We are finishing the demining work. The Ukrainian troops had once planted three layers of mines there, and this work is nearly over. We will create the necessary logistics. Yes, we’ll do it,” Putin said.

“Stolen while in Belarus”

The Belarus transit tax would be sky high. Ukraine’s grain customers (such as Egypt) receive their grain by ships out of the Black Sea. Not through Belarus, then meandering through Europe to get to a port.

This article is incomplete:

“Putin has pointed to the fact that there are several ways to safely transport the grain from the Ukrainian territory, including through Poland and Hungary.”

You are aware I suppose that that was George Bush’s affectionate nickname for him? Pooty-poot?

I’m not 100% sure that we are still Christian America fighting against the Godless communists.

Russia has been trying for some time to leave this chapter of involvement with radical socialism as well as communism behind as they realized there is no future in it. On the other hand, the US is going full bore embracing it. The same with all that rainbow crap Russia is rejecting which are just a couple reasons why the west is so adamantly rejecting Russia.

Putin Panic, Are We Being Fooled by a Wall of Propaganda?

You’ve been told he’s crazy, but is it really true? Not according to this film director who interviewed him - could the world have ‘flipped’ to where Russia is fighting for national sovereignty, and the US is doing everything in its power to implement communism? (Along with Canada........under dictator Trudeau)

Oliver Stone, an award-winning film director, was the executive producer of “Ukraine on Fire,” a documentary that came out in 2016. Stone also interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin between 2014 and 2016. The interviews became the documentary series, “The Putin Interviews,” which aired in 2017

Stone recently sat down to talk to Lex Fridman about Russian president Vladimir Putin and the Russia-Ukraine conflict

“Ukraine on Fire” focused on the Maidan Revolution that began in 2013. After months of peaceful protests against the Ukrainian government’s decision to not sign a comprehensive free trade agreement with the EU, favoring an offer from Russia instead, deadly violence broke out

Petro Poroshenko was elected president in a special election in May 2014. According to the official story, Ukrainians were dissatisfied with President Viktor Yanukovych’s “growing authoritarianism,” and his refusal to sign the EU association agreement. Yanukovych and other high-level officials, however, claim the violent revolution was orchestrated by the U.S. for the purpose of regime change

Stone speculates that Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine may in part have been influenced by a realization that the U.S. is intent on regime change in Russia and is willing to destroy Ukraine to do it

Well, there goes Biden’s excuse for food shortages. Guess Biden and his goons will have to go back to blaming Trump and the MAGA folks again.
