World history was a much different thing going into ww1. European nations had been going to war literally forever. From American perspective just another episode of same crap different day. Americans saw no real reason to get involved. Remember at that time the war of 1812 with Britain was still remembered. American sympathies were very divided we have had multiple wars with Britain and none with Germany. The lusitania sinking was impactful. The germans didn't sneak attack the ship. Germany took out full page ads in New York papers stating it was carrying war supplies,was a military target and was going to be sunk. Do not board. The reality was when it sank war materials on board could not be proven but what was undeniable was the liss of civilian lives. This event did move the needle in public opinion but was not the reason for entering ww1 but was absolutely a contributing factor.
What the f is he talking about? Only about 2% of grain reached a “developing countries “ through this deal
On the grain shipments from Ukraine…..last years crop is still in storage with nowhere to put this years harvest. Train infrastructure doesn't exist to handle shipment. Transport by water is cheaper and can handle the scope much easier but shipping has been unable to meet the volume of the task. Russia doesn't have to attack the cargo ships. The threat is enough to make insurance companies not insure the cargo ships. Creates an effective trade embargo. Africa will suffer greatly.
It is called war not peace!
Lusitania was sunk 1915. Germans announce unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917. In 1917 US entered war. Put down your phone and read a book brown boy.
This is Russia sanctions on Europe
Two points. 1) I thought you guys were saying that the sanctions on Russia were not having an effect. Seems to be a pretty desperate move to get some sanctions lifted. They could end up at war with other countries if they make good on their threat.
2) Why is it you always make peace talks the responsibility of US and/or Ukraine? Last I heard Russia's requirement for peace talks was functionally an unconditional surrender of Ukraine.
2023 and tribalism is still rains supreme
Krystal is LYING about the grain deal. The deal was one-sided. Russia Agriculture was not reconnected to SWIFT. Sanctions were NOT lifted on Russia fertilizer and wheat export as written in the deal. Even the Turkish foreign minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu admitted to the fact. I know Krystal still believes that NATO never promised Russia that it won't move 1 inch to the east.
putin is way too nice to ukraine.
if i were in his place, the moment the nato gang started sending weapons i would have unleashed EVERYTHING and forced a corridor to kiev and captured zelenski. and i would have done to him what usakistan did to the president of irak. kangaroo court and all.
what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EXCUSE FOR GATES AND THE EU TO IMPOSE GMO FARMING ON SMALL AFRICAN FARMERS, A BIG LAND GRAB, AND HUGE PROFIT FOR GATES AND THE EU, THE EXCUSE TO '' SAVE AFRICA FROM STARVATION ''. WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY THE EU WANTS THE WAR TO CONTINUE AND NO ONE WAS CRITICAL OF ZELENSKY FOR BLOWING UP THAT BRIDGE. HW PROVED RUSSIA OVER A UTILITARIAN, CIVILIAN BRIDGE. THIS BENEFITS GATE'S GMO PUSH, AND THE EU WHICH IS INVESTED IN GATES LAND GRAB PLANS. DISTURBING.
JFC these 2 are wrong about everything. It’s quite impressive really.
PROPAGANDA/EXCUSE FOR GMO GATES AND EU PUSHING INTO AFRICA TO '' SAVE '' AFRICA FROM '' STARVATION ''. THE CONFLICT IS KEPT GOING SO THERE WILL BE AN EXCUSE TO PUSH GMO. THE WHOLE FOOD DRAMA IS GOING TO BE USED TO GRAB LAND AND PUSH GMO's. it is heavily funded money tree for the EU. NO good faith players pushing this WAR !
havent looked at BP for 3 months- can see nothings changed. JP out
Sagar — please research:
What % of the Ukrainian grain exported under the deal went to Africa and other low wealth countries?
(while the deal was in place) Did NATO remove barriers for Russian grain? (Did US allow access to SWIFT etc so low wealth nations can purchase Russian grain?
What % of Ukrainian grain exported via the Black Sea go to wealthy nations that are imposing US/EU sanctions on Russia?
Nothing to do with cluster bombs?
lol Russia, Russia, Russia !
Remember Blackrock made millions on grain prices going up. This will bring more profits for Wallstreet
Krystal : US deploying cluster bombs, OK.
Russia cuts grain – that's escalating.
Is this MSNBC?
Both US Empire & Russian Empire have moral fault for the war in Ukraine so I’m not a Russian puppet.
If we want Ukrainian grain to get out via the Black Sea we could immediately drop any economic sanctions that obstruct Russian food and fertilizer international trade. End of story.
Pretending that Russia is solely responsible for stopping Ukrainian grain via the Black Sea is not supported by fact — right now.
If we stopped all sanctions interfering with Russian food and fertilizer international trade and Russia still shuts down the Black Sea we can call them out instead of saying both US and Russia are responsible for the grain shortage.
Saag: it so funny that a country has democracy and nuance decisions for their economy. Hilarious!
Saagar yesterday: Ukraine doesn't matter to the US.
Saagar today: Global food supply chains in jeopardy.
pick a lane.
Russia is the largest grain exporter on earth. Russia blocks grain exports from Ukraine and the "entire world will starve". The nato nations attempt to force the entire world to sanction Russian grain exports, claims the Russian economy will instantly go back to stone ages. I love how well all this is working. American exceptionalism at its finest! Whatever we do is always morally correct and anything we don't like that everyone else is doing is morally wrong because we said so and we are ALWAYS morally correct. Probably because of God or something.
Guys, stick to US news please. You are clearly unaware that Ukraine and Europe did not honour their part of the deal. By the way, Russia offered grain to any country needing it for FREE
#fakenews #newMSM do your homework ppl. A lot of bias here.
This might be a war crime, but regardless of whether it is, it's disgusting. Attacking food supplies that mainly go to poor people? I blame the U.S. for about 95% of this war, but this action by Russia is really immoral.
Putin is my hero.
