Attacking food supply is despicable or even terrorism and a crime against humanity. Especially in times of climate crisis and climate refugees. They should throw those responsible in jail.
These are cheap exports.
I’m sure the people who will starve will fill their bellies with the knowledge that it was just cheap food.
People won’t starve because of this.
Just no people you know.
Yeah, no. The grain was going to Latvia. They shouldn’t have dumped it, they’re basically vandals. Let’s not act as if this will start some huge famine. All this is, is a shitty protest, possibly with russian backing. Nothing more.
We live in a global economy. If Lativia doesn’t get this grain then they’ll buy / outbid other grain that might have been destined for a poorer country. For any commodities like grain any impact in one place does have a worldwide impact through changing prices.
What on Earth does this achieve?
Doing Putin a favor.
I don’t fucking understand, Poland had been supporting them so strongly for the past two years
The farmers liked the old party being in charge, not the new one. Also wouldn’t be terribly shocked to learn some of these actions are being encouraged by individuals whose paychecks are covered by the Kremlin, considering the impact this is having in the region.
Can’t wait to see Ukraine going down and Poland crying about needing help when Russia is at their doorstep. Don’t forget you were part of the USSR for a while, and well you know something something making Russia great again.
What?
The whole point of the war with Ukraine and Russia is that Ukraine was part of the USSR. Do you think Russia is just gonna stop once Ukraine is under their control? Next, Ukraine is know for their grains exports. Which would help Russia a lot when comes to finances.
They are literally shooting themselves in the foot. (farmers)
Which goes back to, can’t wait to hear Poland complain about Russia being at their doorstep and feeling threatened.
I think the “What?” was aimed at the statement that Poland was part of the USSR at one point.
The “what” was probably aimed at the statement “Can’t wait to see Ukraine going down…”. This statement is just ridiculous. If anything you should expect the agressor to go down
That’s what we call “sarcasm.”
He wasn’t being serious. He doesn’t want Ukraine to go down but actions like these are detrimental.
What don’t you understand?
Use your words.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Explain it to me like I’m 5.
Maybe you need remedial education.
That’s what a teacher would tell you if you don’t even know how to ask a question.
What don’t I understand?
Does Poland not understand that farmers just want a hand out? Its always the same with farmers…
I’m glad people are starting to wake upto just how bad farmers are
Is this your takeaway?
Many of these people have a tough time getting ends to meet economically. Whenever something happens that affects their already shaky bottom line there’s going to be anger. Not because they get slightly less rich, but because they feel legitimately existentially threatened.
Of course this is not Ukraines fault. It is however the fault of governments if the bill to support Ukraine economically lands in the knees of the already economically stressed farmers.
That’s not really true though, they’re wealthy land owners with huge political and economic power who screw over the poor every chance they get to make themselves richer.
Literally destroying produce to maintain high prices, and not just this example of terrorist behavior but it’s standard operating procedure for the cartel to limit supply artificially. People are too poor to afford healthy food and they’re out there burning it to stop prices slumping.
Then we get their routine use of migrant workers who they treat like shit and vastly underpay. While working politically to stop any improvements to the system of immigration because they benefit from poor peoples suffering, especially being able to threaten to have them deported.
I could go on…
Ironically, a vast majority of the workers making them money have been Ukrainians who they treat like absolute trash already.
Good sabotage these fascists…
