So of us believe Russia will need to be starved into quitting.  Good news on that front:

Well, I don't buy into the starved into quitting, because I'm firmly of the belief that coup/assassination is the only way Putin stops.

That said, it's absolutely fuel to the fire of both the Military and Oligarchs that would throw said coup/assassination. A hungry people is VERY bad for both.

Somewhat rhetorical.  But Russia is historically a wheat exporter.  This year they're gonna hafta decide between exporting a lot of wheat for foreign $$$, or keeping domestic food (bread) prices low.  History suggests there's a >0% chance they'll export more than they "should" and let their people suffer.

And fortunately global wheat prices are not bonkers.  Good production elsewhere.  So maybe we'll get the best of both worlds.  Acceptable food prices elsewhere, and Fuck Russia.
