That’s 60% of global ammonium nitrate production, just in time for planting season. Someone better at the economy than me tell me what this means for food prices… :biden-fall:

:stonks-up: for food prices. either russia is dealing with export capital typical shenanigans - sorry they pay better prices over there, fuck your harvest - or it’s pressure on the west, which would be inhumane.
I think it’s the first though
You're not wrong, but it's kind of like complaining that your adversary in war has started doing war crimes back to you in response to your war crimes. We have people like Madeline Albright go on TV and say it's worth it for a million Iraqi kids to die as a result of sanctions as long as it makes Saddam unpopular. If the same tactics start driving up malnutrition at home, well, this is the game they chose to play.
Sure, as inter-empire shit, all is ”fair” in war, but it wouldn’t even hurt “enemies”, it would drive malnutrition in india and other monocrop/industrial crop countries, cause highest bidder would always be the west :deeper-sadness:
nah check out global fertilizer prices. they're just stopping their capitalists from selling their fertilizer at the highest bidder instead of selling it to local farmers at more reasonable prices so they can grow and sell food at reasonable prices
