       From all the combat footage I've been watching I have arrived at
       the conclusion that Russia is intentionally destroying wheat
       fields with it's artillery as well.

       The only reliable way to secure grain supply is to drive Russian

       exports even if they wanted to:

       > KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian missiles hit Ukraine's Black Sea
       port of Odesa just hours after Moscow and Kyiv signed deals to
       allow grain exports to resume from there. Ukraine's Foreign
       Ministry denounced Saturday's airstrikes as a “spit in the face”
       to Turkey and the United Nations, which brokered the agreements.

       attack on Odesa’s port, breaking its promises and undermining
       its commitments before the U.N. and Turkey under the Istanbul
       agreement,” Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko
       said. “In case of non-fulfillment, Russia will bear full
       responsibility for a global food crisis.”

       Russia’s war in Ukraine as Russian President Vladimir Putin's
       “spit in the face of U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and
       Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who made great efforts
       to reach agreement.”

       Does this mean NATO will finally join the war against Russia? If

       no political price for the food shortage it was creating.

       can deter Washington by waving its nuclear wand—decided to
       immediately break the grain-export agreement and underscore its
       malign intention to provoke a food crisis in the Global South.

       When is NATO going to get it? The only way to stop this is to
       capture enough Russian territory that these targets are out of
       range of Russian missiles.

       This will keep happening whenever Russia wants it to happen
       until Russian access to the Black Sea (including Azov) is cut
       off entirely. This requires capturing not only Crimea but also
       the purple area:
