Weren't we told that the whole war is about food exports from ukraine which euro countries like germany depend on.
Is the 'food is new oil' narrative not well accepted. Places like usa cannot export to germany because farmland and rivers have been poisoned by gylphosate

- apwell23 3y agomost ppl aren't germans. Germany banned glyphosate.
