The entire point of this war from America’s perspective is to weaken Russia by taking the opportunity to kill a bunch of Russians while making Joe Biden look like a big man. America will keep this war going as long as the defense contractors are making money and Biden is still able to emulate coherence for a few hours a day. Collateral damage such as dams and/or dead humans plays no part in this calculation.

And translating into an excuse for higher prices to consumer of flours and wheat and corn products globally as the retailers scream "war in Ukraine" again. The farmers have already been buckling under due to fertilisers increasing still, so they have already as of last year, reduced plantings, which has already increased demand. But yep, here we go again. Boy! If someone really was trying to cripple the agricultural industry and drown the consumer in inflationary cost of living, for reasons of their own, then they'd be doing a really good job.

Oh and I wish someone would check Zalensky's investment portfolio for wheat...🤔🤔😐🤨

One major problem is that the self-proclaimed “world policeman” wants the bloodbath to continue. The US has repeatedly derailed all talk of peace.

Madness. I have been asking since day one why doesn’t someone take out Putin ? He is responsible.

"Both sides will press for more war. Both sides will achieve only more death and more destruction by so doing. Neither side will achieve victory." I suspect destruction and confusion may be a feature, not a bug.
