I just read where the Russia's are stealing Wheat from the occupied areas of Ukraine and shipping it back to Russia and Crimea and then trying to sell it. Other countries like Egypt are refusing to buy the wheat. The ship carrying the grain turned off its transponder, but it was tracked by satellite. It ended up in Syria where Russia offloaded the grain onto another ship in order to Deguise where the grain came from so that they can sell it. Ukraine grows about one-fifth of the Wheat that is exported to the world, so the price of Wheat is going up and up. That means bread prices are going up at the grocery stores in the USA.
I wish that Ukraine has attack submarines and could shut down the Russia ports in Crimea. Russia is blockading the Southern Coast of Ukraine so they can't ship their grain out and make money and feed the world. We should bust that blockade IMHO So of like when we setup a blockade of Cuba which is only 80 miles off the coast of Florida USA. Whereas Ukraine is thousands of miles away from Florida and right in Russia's back yard. Russia owns the black sea now. Where does Turkey stand on the Bosporus straights and the war that Russia started against Ukraine. Russia should not be allowed through the straights carrying stolen grain from Ukraine. Turkey is part of NATO but is not acting like that.
