Russia halts wartime deal allowing Ukraine to ship grain. It’s a blow to global food security : worldnews

If the US would start dialogue with China it might actually stand a chance of taking on Russia and winning without destabilizing the region. Direct US intervention in the region would be akin to Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan: it would serve to destabilize the region.

The US will never consider this because it prefers a weak Russia to a strong China.

Do you really think that China is really so stupid that they would trust US at this point?

How come people here are taking AP News at face value? It starts with "LONDON (AP) — Russia on Monday..."

You know you're not getting the straight story here, don't you?

I believe this is because the EU didn't fulfill their part of the deal to allow for Russian fertilizer exports. And most of the Ukrainian grain was being exported to developed countries, which wasn't the intent of the deal. This reporting doesn't reflect all of the facts on why the deal failed. It's not the Russians being evil.

Higher prices for crops, inflation skyrocketing and higher interest rates for everyone soon arriving! Another turn of the spiral is coming. Western capitalism is the "best" system ever, sure.
