The Coming Food Catastrophe
I am refusing to agree that it is all &quot;Putin&#x27;s fault&quot;. The war is his decision and is not to understand from the normal Western position. However, it is the decision of the West to sanction Russia and to<p>1) accept increasing energy prices<p>2) accept a lower fertilizer production<p>3) break up supply chains even further<p>4) accept the refugee crisis, the costs of entering this war as a proxy combatant, sending tens of billions to not let the enemy win<p>5) ... and ultimately win and accept the even worse consequences: pouring billions into a corrupt Ukraine to rebuild it, deal with a terrible unbalanced post-war society (women who came to the West will stay, men will find no women in UA after the war; young people will stay in Europe, while UA population will be much older on average after the war) and finally a Russia crisis that could be something like the &quot;crazy 90s 2.0&quot; or a Russia that broke into many unstable post-Russian republics.<p>I am saying this as a person with UKRANIAN ROOTS.<p>The West has decided to fight for some &quot;Western values&quot; and now all people living here have to accept the costs and long-term consequences.
