When Ukraine blows up the Russian warships firing cruise missiles at Ukraine, Russia whines and calls it "terrorism." But if warships aren't valid military targets in war, not sure what qualifies.

Russia can dish it out but can’t take it

vital for food supplies to poor countries

False...over 50% of the Ukie grain shipments went to European countries.

All this could end tomorrow if Putin pulled his troops out.

It really is that simple.

Not that the Neocons give a crap (they just want to attack Russia), but this means MILLIONS of people will starve.

“vital for food supplies to poor countries”

lol. It is worth mentioning that little to none went to poor countries.

I don't side with either country. I understand both Russia and Ukraine governments to be corrupt. I just don't get what Putin is doing. He used to be a somewhat reasonable man. What? Does he have Biden's dementia? Or is he purposely trying to kill the World for some unknown reason?

He cuts off energy to Europe; He threatens tactical nukes; Now he's going to cut off food supply? I don't care about the history between the two nations. This has become insane. I'm leaning towards stopping any aid (other than humanitarian) to Ukraine and let Putin have it rather escalate into world war.

Yeah, I know, appeasement leads to more aggression especially with imperialists as Putin is proving to be. Stopping military aid would not be appeasement.

I'm sorry, I just don't get what this war is about since both countries come from the same national background.

Hey, ALL OF YOU:

How many more days of diesel fuel do we have left in this country?

How many of those folks crossing the southern border? Any idea how many might be criminals or terrorist or worse?

After booting out 60,000 troops because they wouldn’t take the jab how many do we actually have ready for combat?

How’s that US military recruitment going?

How many allies have we lost in 2022? How many have we gained?

Hows that budget deficit going?

If you live in the northeastern US, how are those energy bills looking?

Nah, none of these issues are more important that Ukraine, right?

against ships of the Black Sea fleet and civilian vessels involved in the security of grain corridors

Try to be a nice guy and see what happens.

[Paul R.]

Anybody know in any detail (more than there was an attack and some ship got “hit”) what has the Russians so worked up?

I have to assume a fairly important asset was at least very badly damaged.

UK involvement was probably supplying those drone submersibles whose pics were being circulated recently?

Calling such a counterattack “terrorism” is just nonsense, nonsense that leads normal people to think everything else Russia says is nonsense too. Granted that lib pols in the US spew their own brand(s) of nonsense, but that’s getting a bit OT...

[linMcHlp]

No proof, yet, that Ukraine made the alleged attacks.

And, there are several dozen ships that have been waiting to transit from the Med into the Black Sea, and then proceed to Ukraine, in order to collect the crops output.

That queue of ships has been in the news in Europe - with several governments and organizations awaiting word from Russia, that Russia would stick with the plan.

Anyone who knows anything at all about RuSSia’s history is not surprised in the slightest by this...
