If Putin sabotages or destroys the corn harvest for another year or even longer he will get his geopolitical cake slice. Not the bigger pieces of Ukraine but in the AU because he can blackmail them and NATO can do little against it.

Africa should have been enabled to feed itself. Now its too late. The situation of a starving overpopulation will take its toll. "Autarky is not a solution", my ass. If China and Russia come up with a true partnership in geopolitics Europe gets fucked. The refugee waves can be channeled to Europa functioning as "human weapons" - like during the Belarus border crisis but much more powerful because, unlike the Ukrainians, black people won't be welcomed by Europe. To maximize damage, waves from the overpopulated Afghanistan could be triggered simultaneously. And then the tone will be "thank you America for pushing Russia and China into kicking out asses while you sit on your far-away island. Thank you for nothing. May you become an idiocracy under Donald Trump and never talk to us again." | Africa should have been enabled to feed itself. Now its too late.

It's said that naturally most refugees stay in their country and hence this is just a "horror scenario". The difference is that this wouldn't be a "natural" dynamic. Interesstingly the Russians have shown lately calmer tones about the corn exports. Who knows what dirty deal was involved in that or whether they just don't have the reasources to prepare for an "African front" right now under the eyes of an alerted NATO. | |||

Potential new voters were not afraid of their core program but the new ideological-tinted topics and Greens' missing experience. Also, they are not perceived for a strong social competence. Putin's war has pushed back the ideological topics up to that point that they even got (temporary) praise from news platform WELT whose most readers are CDU, FDP and AfD sympathizers. If they don't completely fuck up another time the Greens have a good chance in setting the vice chancellor at least another time. Climate change isn't going away. To the contrary. | ||
