a huge loss to the ordinary Russian who were enjoying part of the western daily life..

The only huge loss will be MacDonalds financial loss for the fire-sale of it’s Russian assets. The restaurants will be sold and continue to operate under another name. The burger beat will go on.

Newsflash: Russia's invasion of Ukraine is threatening global food supply, which will primarily cause people in developing countries to die from hunger. Putin is explicitly playing this card in order to try to force the West to pull back sanctions.

So if you are that concerned about peoplein the Middle East and Africa, you should definitely support the Allies' attempt to help Ukraine defeat Russia.

Oh my… you believe everything you read in the papers. Ukraine exports 7% of the worlds wheat. Exports from Ukraine year to date for this year are down by 64%. Next crop will be the kicker. Other countries will increase their plantings to compensate for the inevitable gap caused by the war but will it be enough. Few people mention that Russia is a far bigger exporter of foodstuffs than Ukraine and while those foodstuffs are not the subject of direct sanctions that the overall stifling effect of the sanctions imposed on Russia is contributing to a shortfall of global supply. Time will tell.
