That anyone in the Western world actually gives a shit who didn't know until recently where the heck Ukraine is even placed in the world, it practically shows the focus of the media they consume and that whoever the lords of those are, they're knee-deep involved in this shit. Because every other conflict in the world that has very limited impact on the Western world and its supply chains, these media don't give a damn about and just report on it here and there between the side notes.
However, how much the world depends on Ukrainian grain and edible oil, I don't know myself. And - guess, you can maybe estimate how much I shake my head about it becuase of the illogic.
But well... The years since the last US fincial crisis have showed quite a lot: The old communists didn't lie about how the Western capitalist world works like. Only nobody wanted to believe it and just focused on the emotional agitative tone they told it with. Today you can read all this stuff in books, freely accessible even on the Western market, or in magazines and internet outlets who professionally deal with pieces of information about the economy. Partly you can/could (in the past) even learn that knowledge in Western schools.
