I can still see the leadership of your nation still giving Africa food, even when you're in a midst of a food shortage.

If you think America is at max production for food, it’s not , farmers get subsidized to not just flood the market year round with food from mechanized farms , to put it in persecutive the American farm industry has such a surplus constantly that we convert some of our crops into fuel because we have so much fucking corn we invent new ways to use it.

Mariupol's mayor confirms city has fallen with only a few isolated hold outs in the azovstal plant outside the town

CNN?

Chicken Noodle Network is go a go to source for anyone? If you insist on Globohomo sources, at least the BBC. The mayor is worried over refugees who get put in Russian filtration camps where they are terrorised before being sent to Siberian camps. I suppose beating up women is something that won't confound the Russians.

Anyhow c. 5,000 civies killed, including 210 children, 2000 tower blocks destroyed, 60,000 homes destroyed (different figures of the same magnitude eg source), a fully surrounded city might be partly under Russian control after Russian Army D / L PR militias, Kadyrovski numbering at a minimum of 20,000 against against one tenth the number of Ukrainians, mostly naval infantry in an understrength brigade and two small Azov battalions, comprised some part timers, a continual barrage of artillery, likely complete local Russian air superiority, perfectly sited railheads. Napoleon or Alexander the Great are non entities for the Russians have partially overcome a force one tenth their size. The Russians concentration on Mariupol means that the Ukrainians have beset Cherson which is again very much contested. Not exactly a military miracle.

European agriculture has been for years constrained to keep prices high for farmers under the CAP. While it cannot match what the US can provide, food shortages are not a likely thing. Anyhow, if anyone has eyes to see, food shortages will help a lot of fatties get healthy.

THIS. The USA is a huge exporter of food, easily grow more than enough to feed everyone. Ask China. We import crops such as coffee, pineapples, seasonal fruits and vegetables, specialty meats/cheeses, etc., things that add to the diet's variety. Gonna be plenty of wheat/corn/soybeans/etc., to feed America.

Wagner Group the badasses who approached a US observation post in an aggressive formation, ignored repeated warnings/commands to turn the fuck around, then got turned into very small chunks by airstrikes :story:

Oh I didn't say he wasn't at fault, just that a lot of people share the blame going back quite some time. That decision wasn't made out of the blue in a vacuum, there's been lots of lead up towards that bullshit.

Mosul fell after 9 months and there were 6000-12.000 poorly armed insurgents against a force numbering more than 100.000 men that were provided with air supremacy from daddy NATO.

It is said that there were 7.000-14.000 well equipped Ukrainian soldiers in Mariupol and thus it stands to reason that the Russians deployed 30.000 men or more to take the city.

And by now I would give 2 weeks tops for Mariupol to completely fall but it seems that any serious military resistance has already been difused.
