Touché!

Here, with the war in Ukraine active soon-to-be for half a year, the world is still waiting for Russia to collapse under the consequences of that decision.
Instead consumer prices exploded around the world, certain goods have become even rarer than before after the slight relief of the global economy from Covid-19, and food supplies and heating have become not safe (the latter - let alone how much it will cost in the end and if you can afford it, if your wallet’s budget is tight).

May it not be that the community of the so-called “Western states” miscalculated in a very high degree in this issue?

This whole thing is so retarded. I can't believe anyone gives a shit...much less, wants to sacrifice for Ukraine.

This is pointing to the failure of globalization. It's the same with cash vs. plastic. If you have to rely on someone else (e.g., the food, fuel, or money is not in your own hands), you are fucked. Produce locally, folks!

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.
