Russia To Ban Fertilizer Exports To 'Not Friendly' Countries; China Warns US Against Retaliation

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-considers-temporary-ban-agricultural-products-countries-outside-eurasia

I know a lot of you thought that is was pretty cool that McDonalds and Coke announced that they were going to punish the Russian people by removing themselves from the market.  Everyone in the chattering class supports economic punishment of evil Russia.  Since Russia does not have an indigenous burger or pop business you can really make them suffer for the invasion of Ukraine.   Unfortunately, the problem of a woke economic fight between multi-national do-gooders and a sovereign state is that it escalates.  Pepsi is not pushing around a little sandlot in the middle east.  Russia, as we all know, is a MAJOR producer of raw materials that the Western World needs.  Russia's threat to embargo the export of fertilizer and other agricultural products is a very serious response.  

Feeding the world is the highest level of concern. Famine is the ultimate disrupter of civilization.  Everyone got worked up with the Corona Virus, a disease that killed less people in British Columbia since 2020 the Fentanyl.  Something to think about? How much disruption did Corona virus cause?

Now, we are threatening to disrupt world wide food production.  It was only 50 years ago that we thought famine would be the end of the world, now we are going to see if it is.  The problem was just under the horizon last year with high input costs making food more expensive.  Ammonia was up to $2000/ton from $200 is a classic example.  Do you think the subsistence farmers of the world can afford this disruption?  We will have to see what happens.

Visa and Mastercard and a growing list of retailers suspend operations in Russia

You wanted a global economy?  Now you are probably going to pay the price as corporations start to take sides in the the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  Woke attitudes are going to hurt your markets and alienate the average Russian driving them into the hands of Chinese competition.  I know it makes the management feel like social justice warriors to beat up on the Pillow Guy but denial of service to a entire country will end up with surrendering market share as they realize that foreign banksters are causing their problems. Question: does that mean they don't have to pay their accounts?

We had a similar situation develop in Canada where we discovered that the Federal Government would use denial of service, in this case, your bank account being frozen if your didn't support the government's ideology.  

You can only be a social justice warrior if you are a monopoly.  I say that as I listen to Stroppy on Rumble.
