    Depending on where you are from, there won’t be much change in the price the experts say… But grain to poor countries in for example Africa will be effected much more.

    So Putin is mad about losing in Ukraine, so now Africa have to suffer also …

        To be fair, from what I’ve seen on Twitter, tons and tons of Africans are supporting Russia and Putin’s ego war so they can get fucked by Russia as much as they want. They will blame Ukraine for not surrendering earlier.

          Just remember there’s 48 countries, not just “Africa”. Depending which country or even which area of a country you’re looking, you’ll find a part of Africa ruining Africa or a part of Africa being ruined by Africa. It’s a socially and politically wild place, mostly due to corruption and sectarianism. So, while a few support Russia, others are aiding Ukraine, others entirely indifferent to what’s going on.

            The numbers: 15 abstained on the UN condemnation vote. 23 opposed condemning. 10 voted to condemn.

          Imagine condemning an entire continent based off what you, a random clown, saw a few bots say on Twitter. You are the useful idiot. How is this drivel positively voted on lmao

            useful idiot

            Wow, well my man, you sure know how to look like an intelligent human being if the first and only argument you have is throwing insult at random people.

            I’m sure you have a lot of friend.

              I’m not here to argue with you. I’m here to point out your blatant xenophobia and how wrong it is. Have a nice day.

                  In no way was I xenophobic. This guy has issues and is obviously mentally impaired. Ignore, block and don’t interact with this troll.

                  Anybody can go on Twitter right now and see what I’ve said is true. He may not like it, but reality does not give a shit about his feelings

                    The fact that you think Twitter is reality is telling of your mental capacity/age. I’m glad to have participated in your crippling levels of butthurt, though. Look at you frothing lmao

                That’s the most idiotic thing I have ever read on the internet the whole week but it’s only Monday so you have nothing to be proud of. Take back your stupid shit you are spewing and do not ever communicate with me again ever.

                You too have a wonderful day 😊

          After what the West did to Africa, can you really blame them for supporting Russian and Chinese foreign policy, especially when both nations have shown a far greater willingness to invest in the continent in recent years?

            Russia also benefits very heavily from goodwill in Africa generated by the Soviet Union’s colonial liberation legacy. A very large number of states there owe their sovereignty to Soviet support in overthrowing colonial rule.

          I think this is ultimately why the deal was struck in the first place to be honest. It wasn’t hurting the right people.
