    Russia wants to do this, but they won’t let her!

    You have to be complete idiots to think that grain will go to help poor countries! Grain is sent to the richest and not very rich countries of Europe, I hope everyone is grown up here and they don’t need to explain the approximate routes of cargo entry.

    After stopping their previously agreed upon deal to allow Ukrainian grain to go to Africa. Grain for a month for two million people is stuck on ships and Russia won’t let them out of the black sea

    Since Russia and Ukraine signed the U.N.-backed Black Sea Grain Initiative in Turkey on July 22, several million tonnes of corn, wheat, sunflower products, barley, rapeseed and soya have been exported from Ukraine.

    From Ukraine? Why do not they give it to their citizens? Russia is a far-right oligarchy/plutocracy dictatorship, and historically imperialist. That does not fool me.

        My criticism was towards Russia; Russia is not socialist (and no country has ever been communist); it is just an oligarchy really. I’m against west imperialism and capitalism, but I and my Russian friends are not blind to Russia fascism and imperialism.

            Oh I see thanks! I’m on beehaw.org which disables downvotes (I also disable showing upvotes in my account) so I was unaware about the downvotes when I replied you. Maybe you could come to here as well if you have any interest to keep using Lemmy.

            Looking at the positive, or neutral, side, at least the east propaganda makes it reach an equilibrium since most other English-talking places have mostly west propaganda. It seems to me people, or propaganda people/bots, on some Lemmy instances are against west at all costs, so they will eventually try silencing views which go against their version as to avoid something like historic nihilism. That’s not too different from west propaganda people.

            I should probably just quit using these websites altogether, and stay at scientific and professional communities. But I like the free/libre/federated aspect of it here, and in comparison to Reddit for example, posted content I see on the frontpage is generally serious.

                Thanks! I use RSS for work and project-related stuff. Guess I’ll look into something for self hosting for general news so I can use it on phone as well
