Lately I see bot accounts and Kremlin trolls claiming that Ukrainian grain was goin to be exported to Europe or fed to animals aniways.
They claim that Africa or Asia won't suffer from russias attacks on food export and completely ignore that we are talking about global markets here. Europe will have to buy from other producers now and speculation will start.
Every leader in the word must be so pissed right now because higher prices of food directly impact their grip on power.
As soon as china finds a way to replace Putin with a candidate of their choice is time to say bye bye!
Damn I forgot about Africa. Hasn't Russia been exploiting them for resources anyway? I wonder if Putin can make them angry enough, or desperate enough, to close their borders?
Let's be fair... The whole world exploits Africa for their resources.
[Edit] China might be more reliant on cheap raw materials because they need them for production.
China is probably ok with it because it increases ~~instructions~~instability as you said and also by causing refugees.
Famine in Africa and the Middle East will decrease stability in Europe by creating many more refugees.
So far the Ukrainians that came to EU seem to be the best thing that could happen to us and our workforce.
About Africa... I get your point but China has economic interests there and extraction of resources will become a lot harder when governments lose their grip in power. They want to bribe another faction. A famine will firstly destabilise Africa, middle East, Asia and South America and only then Europe.
All of those regions are big importers of China's products and will be forced to spend more on food and less on imports from China.
They start to understand that Russia's invasion caused increased prices of energy and food. The standing in the latest votes on the Ukraine war reflect what leaders around the world are thinking about Russias actions.
This isn't a geopolitical Masterplan. It's more like a short sighted rage fit from Putin.
