In addition to damage at the port terminal where grain for China was stored, a second attack has now resulted in damage to the Chinese consulate.

Lately I see bot accounts and Kremlin trolls claiming that Ukrainian grain was goin to be exported to Europe or fed to animals aniways.

They claim that Africa or Asia won't suffer from russias attacks on food export and completely ignore that we are talking about global markets here. Europe will have to buy from other producers now and speculation will start.

Every leader in the word must be so pissed right now because higher prices of food directly impact their grip on power.

As soon as china finds a way to replace Putin with a candidate of their choice is time to say bye bye!

Damn I forgot about Africa. Hasn't Russia been exploiting them for resources anyway? I wonder if Putin can make them angry enough, or desperate enough, to close their borders?

Let's be fair... The whole world exploits Africa for their resources.

[Edit] China might be more reliant on cheap raw materials because they need them for production.
