Dude obviously copes and seethes when actual Turks here dont follow his little fantasy-world agenda lol (and by a large degree too)

:ROFLMAO: -guy: Please love putin + Russia!

Turks: looks at history.....looks at syria.... No

:ROFLMAO: -guy: Please love Xi + PRC

Turks: looks at uighur treatment.....No

:ROFLMAO: -guy: Please love the Taliban and other hyper-extreme islamists

Turks: looks at turkic groups in AFG....looks at pan-turkism....looks at Ataturk's edifice........ NO

=====================================

Its all playing out in this RUS-UKR episode now again with people like this....with the "turk but not turk" issues inside their head.

Align to some reductive ideology of hyper-islamism....mold Russia and China into some super reductive realism based on that.....and then try fit Turks into it too lol.

These people totally collapse or run away when you bring up Ataturk (especially if a Turk starts bringing him up in a thread he's active on....guy just does some cringe dodge on it each time lol).

Its almost uncanny how much of a repellent he (Ataturk) is to this deluded hypocrite type.

==========================

There are some other more general simps, simpletons, cringelords and hypocrites on this thread too...

...not quite as long term funny to observe nuisance as the :ROFLMAO:-guy though.... but same overall bleh in some way IMO.

Lets see how this stuff unfolds with Russia and Ukraine....and how these types react and expose themselves even more.

The invasion of Ukraine has another very important threat: Wheat!

Everyone has their eyes on natural gas in the winter's cold, but a long-term war between two important wheat producers (as it seems to be) will cause sharp increases in wheat prices.

Its effect is felt immediately. Social upheavals erupt all over the world. In that case, those who can't find bread can't even eat cake!

Economic sanctions can be a "weapon" in Iran. However, when the subject is Russia in the global stagfilation environment, the sanctions lose their weapon character. Because what you call a weapon is a tool that, by definition, does not harm its user.

If Ukraine is unable to produce wheat due to the Russian occupation and Russia is unable to produce wheat due to the sanctions, everyone, including those who impose the sanctions, will suffer from this.

A quick check, and russia exports around 8 billion USD of wheat a year and Ukraine around 3 billion USD.

Total worldwide production is valued (using USD trading prices) around 150 billion USD in recent years.

11/150 = 7%

So yah it will be an issue (anything more than 5% can be serious issue in demand/supply deficit generally for relatively inelastic goods)

It will get worse if there are serious production losses for Russia and Ukraine themselves (that they turn into importers themselves etc).
