Looks like Hungary, Bulgaia and Moldova are banning wheat exports to ensure they have enough.
I was going by the news reel. Maybe you didn’t watch it.

My Grandad told me that reading about events of WW2 in the papers at the time was like reading the results of World Cup matches as it seemed like this far away event where you were just provided a broad outline of what happened.
I asked him was it tough living through The Emergency, he said they were low on sugar mainly.
Maybe the EU will need to be thinking along the same lines......
If this is true then it would make you wonder wonder how Russia are getting so much wrong.
It's known Russia are willing to lose units to get the job done but I feel this is even a bit much for them.
I see. Will be interesting to see when what's going on when cloud coverage clears.
Can anyone post a full list of the sanctions against Russia, or a link to them, much appreciated
All politics West and East is corrupt thats one thing for sure and I trust neither but I am baffled how weak the West and NATO really are when it involves Russia, its like they feel like they can't take on this Superpower in the fear they will lose. People talking about starting WW3 I think this has already started and history will repeat itself again. There will soon be genocide in Ukraine and will the world watch as it happens? Are you OK if there is genocide committed in Ukraine and nobody intervenes? What do the UN actually do if they can't intervene because of political agendas?
With recent cloud cover no satellite can give up to date info in the last two to three days.
That was the whole principle of MAD....mutual assured destruction. But just how many nuclear bombs would it take to destroy the world? 4? 5 ? 6? 7? 10? 15? 20? because when you consider the effects of Chernobyl and Fukushima, which were essentially not bombs as such, and compare the effects of those incidences with a few high yield Kiloton warhead's. Neither side needs to unleash more than a fraction of their "stocks" to completely destroy the World. Vlad could do it all by himself.
It's apparently stalled , Ukrainian forces took out multiple vehicles at the front of the convoy and are targeting others along the road ,they can't move forward and can't retreat
Is this 40 mile convoy a myth or what's going on with it?
Disappointed in Shell - the world and his dog have been saying that we'll all have to share the pain of sanctions, so I think they should have sucked it up and waited for non-Russian crude to be available.
I can understand their (Shell's) operations may have incurred greater cost, maybe by sitting idle or stop/start of machinery and processes costing more than keeping them running etc. but that's the price to pay. And I'm pretty sure they would have passed that cost on along the chain to us poor saps at the end.
I think they've made a poor decision.
I probably could have phrased it better to clarify I was wondering who the hell he met while he was there
I wonder if anyone has ever used a javelin on a moving train
To be able to transport their troops, probably not dressed as soldiers.
I never said that he was dead Steve. I was replying to another post that suggested that he may be dead...and I mentioned that Mullah Omar, leader of the Taliban in Afghanistan had been dead for 2 years before it was made public....
Nukes are only useful as a revenge weapon, a war cannot be won with them. They are a deterrent because they mean if you win a war against me I will end you.If they were just a deterrent they would not be used after a war started because that would mean they didn’t work. They would absolutely be used though.
Patrick Stewart ?
Certainly going to be affected as the crops need to be planted in the next two months. The problem will be exporting it if they have no access to ports. If Putin gets to Odessa he will control all of Ukraine's coastline.
Because I think we should make Russia a complete pariah state until it behaves otherwise. As for the Russians fleeing. Neither you nor I know their opinion of Putin.
Yep they can’t really blame NATO and I’m sure they don’t privately as it was really their misjudgement to ever trust Russia.
No you didn't, there was nothing specific in that post about who you were talking about.
We know there were several cases where a Russian nuclear missile could or should have been launched, given the false but convincing information that was to hand. Yet here we all are.
What wold be the aim of this, if it's true?
You know I wasn’t talking about Thatcher, I even specified who I was talking about. I don’t get the point of your post.
Rubio - PLEASE LEAVE INEPTITUDE TO LUKASHENKO -
I didn't realise Thatcher was far left. Learn something new every day.
They are not. They are a deterrant because everyone assumes that the "other side" will not fire because it ensures mutual destruction. There are 2 problems, one is if one party is insane or has a god complex or similar. The second is if one party suspects the other will not retaliate. Putin must be under no illusions that NATO will retaliate, anything else will be a weakness that he will crush. It is nothing to do with revenge.
