  1. People keep harping on gas and oil prices but here's a fact - ruSSia started squeezing gas prices about 6mo prior to this all-out war. You can look at the chart, the recent price trend is either lower or about the same as before the war. So don't blame sanctions for the high gas price... This is just the way ruSSia is.... and Europeans should have listened to warnings about ruSSia using energy as a weapon. Oil? Yes, it's about 30% more today than before the war started. It's not a catastrophic gain % wise. This kind of swing happens annually naturally through the "normal" times. Bottom line - prices are high because of the war "risks speculation" but mostly because ruSSia manipulated EU energy market. Grain? This can't be any clearer that ruSSia is blocking and destroying Ukrainian grain to create problems in 3rd world countries to force mass migration to EU, which will help far right movements, which are heavily pro ruSSian.

  2. Germany increased trade with ruSSia by 60% since the beginning of this year. Way to go, "allies" 👍🤔
