This has to be for Putin's own supporters in Russia – he can't expect anyone else is going to buy it.

Hey Putin: why are you encouraging global domination by the West by attacking a neighboring country?

He speaks as if Russia was some sort of impediment for western culture and economy, some sort of rival.

No. Russia is a bug. A nuclear bug. But a bug.

Even if this was true, it would mean that Russia is just playing into the trap and could easily avoid this scheme by just... fucking off out of Ukraine and ending the war

He would control the cereal and grain supply for half of the planet. With climate change causing food security issues, having control over food distribution is a massive deal, also his original plan was to include Moldova as well as his near allies Turkey and Hungary. If he had been successful in Ukraine, the security situation would look very different

Sure, the country who didn't invade Ukraine is always more at fault than the country that did.

Ukraine does not produce anything close to half of the world’s grain. Ukraine produces about as much as Pakistan does. Ukrainian grain fills a cheap grain niche in the market for some of Europe, which has already been mitigated, and only really impacts extreme improvised regions of Africa. Russia produces twice as much grain as Ukraine does, and even if you added Ukrainian grain to Russia’s supply it would still not be a worldwide issue if it were cut off from the world. Russian ambitions of invading NATO nations would never materialize. If Russia takes Ukraine it would certainly change the Regional security picture, but it would not be a worldwide issue whatsoever. Russia already controls the only strategic piece of land in Ukraine, and has since 2014 when the war began and it has yet to be a worldwide issue.

A material that goes into the production of the machines that makes chips had its supply temporarily interrupted is what that article says. That is a different thing from what you said. You should learn to read, although I apologize if English is not your first language. Further reading would also tell you that Ukraine has no monopoly on those resources.

This is like the 4th or 5th time in the past few days I've seen "Putin claims...... fill in the blank" and every one of them seems as if he's just blaming HIS horseshittery on the rest of the world every time. Can he just trip and fall out a window already?

You must not understand economics. Those industries exist there not because of a monopoly on resource, like say oil producing nations, but because that is the most efficient place according to the markets. There are plenty of other places capable of filling the gap. Your statement that Putin would control the chip supply is patently incorrect, as if he took the resources and niche that Ukraine holds other nations would simply fill in the gap. This is not like 1991 where Saddam controlling Kuwait gave him a serious percentage of the worlds supply of something.

I see that graph, I also see that Ukraine only contributed 8% of the worlds supply which is nowhere near the “half” originally claimed by Dyno, and is not anywhere near a worldwide issue number especially considering that the nations above and below Ukraine are capable of filling the slack by increasing production, again factoring in Russia.

You'll have to take up that with Dyno. I've joined to fact check your assertions. You wrote,

> even if you added Ukrainian grain to Russia’s supply it would still not be a worldwide issue if it were cut off from the world.

What the stats at that source show is Russia is currently neck and neck with the United States for the top spot with slightly over 13% of the export market. As things stand Russia gets the top spot by a hair; if it succeeds at taking over Ukraine then Russia would be the clear leader gaining control over more than 20% of the international wheat trade.

And Ukraine's wheat production is chiefly in the west and south of the country--which is what Russia is trying hardest to control. (Crimea

> If Russia takes Ukraine it would certainly change the Regional security picture, but it would not be a worldwide issue whatsoever.

That's a sweeping claim. It doesn't look like the data bears it out.

Neon is dispersed evenly throughout the atmosphere across the entire planet. You could set up a factory on a desert island and produce neon. Opec controls the oil market because the oil is within their territory. Neon is everywhere.

In a sense it is true. The values of the West would like for everyone to have the fundamental freedoms like a free society, choices on how to live their life, individual liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Pewtin and fellow autocrats think that they should have absolute power and decide who gets what, when and how. It kind of is about different philosophies having dominion.

Putler says west wants global domination but since WW2

Russia invaded Chechnya twice, Russia invaded Ukraine twice, Russia invaded Georgia, Russia invaded Syria, Russia invaded Afghanistan, Russia took land from Moldova and Russia talks about invading Europe and global power.

Maybe Putler has dementia

How long until China gets bored of Russia and goes to war with them? China can't get Taiwan because of US support so China could take back the land Russia took from them. Greed has no boundaries and both leaders are greedy to stay in power.

Putin is just pissed he's a terrible leader and all the progress Russia has made over the past few decades was a lie. He's pissed you can't achieve supremacy with threats and lies and is just throwing bodies and the issue thinking it will solve anything. Dude is a moron and an ancient relic of a more primitive time.

Then have a look at how many countries the west invaded since then. That list is nothing compared to the US alone

Commitment escalation. He got all bent out of shape and did a dumb thing. He can’t back out now. It’s really too bad bc Russia was on a great path to inclusion and normalization. For some reason, Putin didn’t see this as a good thing and decided to send Russia back to 1935. It will go down as one of the biggest blinders by a leader ever. The only silver lining might be the acceleration toward alternative energy. He is the catalyst.

Instead to cause instability and to install Western supported governments. And if they don't do it they will just do a Venezuela on the country. Don't act like the west doesn't want global power.

I'm talking about the justification you are giving to west's world domination about how they are doing it for World peace or better standards of life. Not everything that West tried to help by domination even in recent times is heaven on earth best example is the Middle East and places like Afghanistan and Vietnam. Colonizers are widely unpopular? They are always unpopular depending on whose side of history you are looking at.
