You are fundamentally wrong. Let's look at some data. Here is how much traders expect the price of grain in south africa to change between now and July 2024.

It's expected to over double in price. (Edit - sorry I read this wrong. Not double. But still quite an increase in volatility expected next year)

Double what? Double today's grain problems

South Africa: Food Inflation Surged to a 14-Year High in South Africa

South Africa is facing starvation because of the war.

A reminder of the peace plan

The movement of grains across the Black Sea must be opened up to remove blockages so that commodities can reach markets;

Now let's look again at your dipshit argument

Killing and enslaving your people and looting your country for centuries.....

(Which the Ukrainians didn't do)

You cannot eat hate and grievance. You can only eat truth and reconciliation, this is well known to the South Africans and you're simply wrong about it. For Putin to send them away was a snub (after denying visas to half the entourage!).

Putin is the asshole warmonger here, and the south African delegation learned that very well this week

Yes, the US/EU's destruction of trade and energy supplies are affecting Africa badly. It will spread to the rest of the world soon. Mass famine, war, violence, and dictator power-grabs are in the near future.

We can't rationally blame this on Putin (but we will with our weaponized media and low info populations), but have been openly planning this for half a decade, and were quietly planning it for the other half.

Who is blockading the black sea grain ports? Is it America or the EU piloting those ruzzian navy craft, who, contrary to their obligations under the UN grain agreement are only searching one or two grain ships per day?

Reminder of President Cyril Ramaphosa's request to Putin and Zelensky

The movement of grains across the Black Sea must be opened up to remove blockages so that commodities can reach markets;

It's not blockade'd, although it might as well be, as it is too much security risk for most shippers and their insurance companies. That isn't the only port problem either, the US has ensured that the squeeze will be felt world round when blowing up the pipeline.

Again you are straight up lying.

Do you think, if I try and sail a grain vessel from the black sea to Odesa - you think the ruzzians will not open fire?

It has nothing to with US and everything to do with ruzzia's occupation and ongoing war.

Ruzzia is supposed to search the ships to it's satisfaction and then allow them to dock. It's not doing that, and ruzzia's negligence is being felt in African food prices. So, when the African delegation are told by Putin to suck a dick, it's clear to everyone who the aggressor terrorist is in this war.

We are talking about one sea port, yet the whole world is struggling. Your need to blame one entity, the one most propagandized as evil, seems to fit the desired result of the cabal who have been working this plan to fruition for 10+ years, and supporting genocide in Eastern Ukraine.

[–]Site_rly_sux 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

Lol you accuse me of needing to blame one entity then in the same breath assure me that the US is secretly behind a cabal. Lol what a moron

Hey dipshit "one sea port" no. Ukraine is not one of the world's largest grain exporters because of a single port. Try again

[–]SoCo 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

I'm talking about more than grain, more than Ukraine, and more than one sea port.

[–]Site_rly_sux 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Yeah ruzzia is blockading the whole nation, not just Odesa.

And as a result, Africa will starve.

That's why Putin fucked his reputation by telling them to eat dicks instead of Ukrainian corn
