To fvck with the people who are interested in it?

If this was a thread about bass fishing and you weren't into bass fishing would you be in there telling people who bass fished they were fvcked up?

This thread is interesting to me on several levels:

1. The Russians are an enigma. (Take Winston Churchill's word for it.)
2. This war has the potential to involve the entire world in a global war like we have never seen before.
3. This war has the potential to involve nuclear weapons, which should concern everyone on the planet.
4. This war is effecting everyone economically.
5. This war is effecting global food production.
6. This war is a classic underdog vs superpower story, which is interesting.
7. This is a rare peer to peer conflict.
8. This war involves the "Evil Empire."

If this war was Chad vs Libya I wouldn't give a chit.

I agree with most of that. Im not sure about #5? European food production…sure. And i don’t understand why it’s affecting everyone economically? Again, European…sure. But they dont have that many oil wells…and dont hold a candle to the US in ag production.


I meant to say "global food supply" good catch. But in a way isn't it effecting global food production because of fertilizer shortage? Aren't Russia and Belarus main suppliers of potash? Like #2 and #3?

Fortunately for us Canada, one of our main trading partners, is #1 in potash exportation.
