I wonder if we'll see catastrophic levels of famine because of this.

I wish we would just give Ukraine whatever weapons they need to finish this.

1. We should embargo all food and medicine shipments to Russia.

Let them feel the same pain.

2. I agree. We should be doing EVERYTHING THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN to defeat them,

short of direct military engagement.

Their military is already confiscating aid intended for Ukrainian civilians. They can feed their people with that.

3. I've heard this will be devastating to Africa

because Ukraine and Russia are big suppliers of grain to the continent, especially the poorest countries.

4. From what I've seen, the governments in the region are generally supportive of Russia in this.

I wonder if they'll also support the likely fallout from it.

What a shitshow.

5. One cruise missile taking out one ship would end this.

The other ships would run.
Give Ukraine the tools to end the war.

6. Agreed. This is NOT the time to get timid and indecisive.
