I still don’t see Poland and the Yappers as “Supermarket to the World”, as far as Eastern Ukraine goes, that’s a done deal, so no need for me to comment on it anymore.
You said Russia had no reason to want western Ukraine, to which I responded with a reason to control food and implied that such would therefore be reason to want more. You brought up the Balkains and bundled them with Poland (for reasons I cannot infer determinitavely). Poland is a significant grain producer. The Balkans obviously not.
