    Ukraine is also a significant wheat exporter and invading it in a war of aggression didn’t really help with that tbh:

    Remember the wheat shortage in Northern Africa that almost turned into a famine in 2022… yeah. Maybe we should blame the side that started the war more than the side that is defending against an aggressor, even if the latter uses some shady tactics, like targeting non-military targets. It’s not like the other side were above that.

      It’s still disgusting to see people celebrating more shortage and supply issues.

      Along with those who instantly insult you when pointing out maybe food supply methods shouldn’t be targeted in this day an age, especially when it’s not what’s feeding the country being fought.

        But it’s bankrolling the addression. I guess Ukraine needs every target it can find in a world where Europe buys russian oil and gas for more eurodollars than what they use to support Ukraines effort.

          All this is saying is that it’s fine for Ukraine to cause world food shortages and target anything in Russia including civilian infrastructure.

          At the same time the world needs to cut off the United States but won’t do that either. Even though they won’t it doesn’t give others the justification to bomb food sources. Well unless they are Israel
