      I mean, she’s never tried to hide the fact that she’s Russian. And she also hasn’t hidden the fact that she dislikes Putin. But lots of Europe is struggling right now. For instance, the farmers protesting across many parts of Europe, as a result of the war and Ukrainian exports.

          Ooo, can I be that too? I would use bad words for these people when I was a kid in 2007, you know, when it wasn’t mainstream, but everybody wanted to believe that Russia just has a flawed democracy.

          Take it a step farther. Why is cheap grain available on the market? Because European import regulations were relaxed to support Ukrainian grain exports.

          In case you weren’t aware, grain is one of Ukraine’s largest exports.

            I thought most of those grain exports go to Africa and the Middle East though? Like didn’t the war and initial export blockade cause the famine in Yemen to get worse?
