60,000 tons of grain in the port of Chornomorsk, outside of Odesa, was destroyed, Minister of Agrarian Policy Solskyi said
Posted this in the other thread, but that is enough grain to feed 262,000 people 2100 calories a day for a year.
No wonder Russia wanted Ukraine. Gotta feed it’s own people…
Heartless tards.
I hope the US gives Ukraine the ATACMs for some satisfying reprisal. I just wish weapons systems would end this wanton destruction. Grrrr
Russia is a terrorist state
Russia is a terrorist state. You just won’t hear it on the Manipulation Stream Media because the leadership is white.
“MainStream Media”, and saying “you shouldn’t read/listen to mainstream media” is literally a propaganda tactic invented by Joseph Goebbels.
Interesting too that neither Left nor Right are immune to this style of propaganda, and as things get increasingly more insane it’ll only get worse.
Corporate interests co-opting and playing the biases of the media giants against each other absolutely doesn’t help restore confidence in accurate news, either…
Not sure what the solution is, but right now we’re seeing what happens when politicians use scare tactics to make the other party into the evil “other.” Great for getting votes/staying in office, but so so destructive to the democratic process.
Free public owned media helps, but that’s getting more and more rare. Social media doesn’t help necessarily, many have algorithms that can be used to push certain narratives, and even places like lemmy without such rigged algorithms can be gamed to do so.
It’s a constant battle, people need to be educated and remain vigilant - in particular they need to read multiple sources with differing views and learn to recognise their biases and account for that to establish the objective truth.
Most of all Manipulation Stream media is owned by Corporations and the 1 percent. So tell me I’m wrong.
I’m not trying to tell you that you’re wrong about media ownership or biases. I’m saying that you shouldn’t exclude sources just because you think they’re biased, as that will only play into your own biases. You should read/listen to/watch all sources, as many as practicable, and try to recognise and account for their biases in order to figure out the objective truth.
Maybe you just need better media sources?

Then why did a Stream Media publish that during this afternoon?
That’s literally what all the conspiracy bullshit media outlets claim all the fucking time and could not be further from the truth.
Maybe get out of your bubble a bit and read Reuters/APN/guardian and actually Fact-Check your own claims.
@BombOmOm I wonder what Russia’s ”friends” in the global south are thinking now though? Are they really going to fall for the ”west is blackmailing you” routine Putler seem to be spinning? Really? 🙂
They will fucking simp just like before. Nobody in charge is gonna starve and “fuck the people” is the mantra of every state that ever existed.
I wonder what Russia would do if Ukraine worked out a deal with Romania so Ukraine can ship the grain via land to Romania. Then the grain can be loaded on ships and sent out.
It would present a significant bottleneck. Ships are much more efficient carrying goods, not to mention the time wasted loading and unloading the trains.
Indeed, 60,000 tons of grain would require about 6 100 car trains OR 1 ship
From what I’ve read, they have and they can, but the trains can only transport much smaller loads.
Grain headed to China, so they can take it out of their next deal w/ Ruzzia.
