You're being willfully obtuse.

You're being willfully obtuse. Santara was clearly saying in a prolonged war when farmers take up weapons to fight in a war that could last several growing seasons the USA farmers can accommodate the global shortage by growing less ethanol/syrup corn, and instead grow wheat.

you somehow spun this into santara saying that we'd do this in real time, simply because he used the word easily. despite him correcting you lol.


Dude, just lol. The argument back then was about a looming food crisis caused by a sudden halt of Ukrainian/Russian exports. Note the timestamp okay?

This.

All dumbchits that are applauding the ongoing escalations have no idea of the long term ramifications. And as usual it will be the poorest countries that are going to suffer, those that are depending on Russian wheat, corn, etc.

Wrong, they're going to step it up.

They just announced that they will be taking more Ukrainian territory due to the threat of Western supplied long-range weapons. Sending weapons to Ukraine working as intended I guess hmm?

Now the main point, if Ukraine would indeed push the Russians out which it can only do with massive Western support, what is stopping Putin declaring Russia is under threat? Russia has massive mobilization potential:

Russian mobilization potential around 12 minutes mark. Russia defeated? They haven't started yet.

DPR/LPR raw recruits up to 65 y/o (!!!) thrown into battle in Ukraine starting around the 32 minute mark. They're not Russians but Ukrainians fighting Ukrainians now think about that.

No, I'm pretty sure they're going to die. Watched your whole video, even, and it doesn't make as much of a case as you think it does. The Russians are using DNR/LNR troops so much because they don't have adequate troop levels in their independent brigades to function properly as a combined-arms unit. Therefore they are relying too much on equipment, because they don't have enough infantry to protect it, and they're LOSING that equipment to a great degree, that even if they did call up national reserves, they don't have enough equipment to make them into a proper fighting force.

You know what's really funny? That I explained to him months back that most of it is winter wheat that needs to be planted in fall https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=92094408&f=119&o=2190




Try again snipa :rofl:


Looks like you're attempting to rewrite the conversation. What I said:

Also, the world isn't going to starve while Ukrainian farmers swap plows for swords. American farmers produce 10x as much corn as Ukraine produces wheat, which is mostly wasted in ethanol production. And guess what! This year's crop hasn't even begun planting yet, and if American farmers foresee a spike in wheat prices due to a shortfall elsewhere, they can easily take up the slack. Easily.


...to which:

- Russia won’t be able to occupy Ukraine ( same than below)
- Russia won’t be able to demilitarize Ukraine (So true, it's size of France + West Germany...)
- Russia won’t be able to weaken NATO (discussable, because a strong change in Russia can question NATO treaty)
- Russia won’t be able to divide the European Union (United it even more)
- Russia is getting its economy destroyed by sanctions (to be confirmed)


What output can we expect from the changes in EU-RUSSIA relation ? Is it a good thing for USA ?

Maybe Russia could pay rebuild and all various costs with its Oil, Natural gas, Minerals.

Imo the best would have to get ex-Russia to join EU, would take a decade or more btw...


putin found out u talkin smack bout him n he lookin for you

Ukraine has only been a country for 30 years, it's always been part of Rus, except when it was occupied by Turks



Not really. Ukrainians were fighting for their country since XVII century, with intense fight for 100 years already. They were also part of Poland, part of Austria also.

At no point did I imply that it would be replaced overnight. You're grasping.
