  Two of the largest agricultural producers in the world are fighting. Food prices will rise.

    Well shit, if that’s the point you were trying to make – as opposed to regurgitating the tankie talking point dishonestly trying to imply that US government spending supporting Ukraine is causing inflation, which is obviously what everybody’s downvoting you for – you should’ve just come out and said it to begin with.

    The idea that food prices are rising and it’s Russia’s fault for disrupting supply is a much more reasonable assertion than the way you were spinning it before.

      I have literally never heard that described as a tankie talking point. Honestly, shouting down the fact that Russian aggression caused global prices to rise in everything (not just food, oil and gas causes ripples) feels like something their psyops people would do. Trying to tie it to US aid and calling it a tankie talking point is double plus hilarious. I don’t know where you’re reading that, but I’d be careful.
