> How Europe doesn’t see Ukraine’s invasion as an existential threat is beyond me.

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



“Poisoned by glyphosate”

Fine starve then? I think most reasonable people would eat food from America over starving.


most ppl aren't germans. Germany banned glyphosate.


And irony of ironies, Bayer, a German company, purchased Monsanto and is currently stuck with the bill from all the people harmed by glyphosate.

Reality is stranger than fiction.


EU has very strong agriculture subsidies, it certainly does not rely on food imports for basic goods.


The whole European food mountain was a thing. And we're still wasting plenty of food, we're not going to starve any time soon.
