When the US bombed Iraq and Libya, no one imposed sanctions against the US. But when Russia started bombing Ukraine, the West showed double standards and hypocritically imposed sanctions against Russia, although Western countries have no moral right to impose sanctions against anyone. Russia is the world's largest exporter of grain, Russia sells about 30 million tons of grain to the world markets, controlling 14% of the world grain market. Ukraine sells about 20 million tons of grain and ranks fifth in the world market. Hypocritical and unfair Western sanctions have cut off Russia from the World payment systems, because of which the World market has lost 14% of all grain imported from Russia. The West is to blame for World hunger. Russia entered into a grain deal in June 2022 to allow Ukraine to trade in grain in return for Russia getting the opportunity. One of the conditions of Russia was that part of the grain would go to the starving countries, but the West did not fulfill this condition, which is why Russia withdrew from the grain deal. Russia had every right to break the deal if its conditions were not met. Would you abide by the terms of a contract when the party you agreed with doesn't abide by the contract? The West violated the agreements, Russia withdrew from the deal, everything is fair.

World hunger existed long before 2022, and the reason for this is simple - the colonial legacy and the lack of statehood of the poor countries that were former colonies. In the 19th century, India was the first economy in the world, China was the second economy. India in the middle of the 19th century was captured by the British, and China, in fact, also turned into a colony. As a result, by the middle of the 20th century, the Indian economy was 1% of the world economy. This is the legacy of Western imperialism and colonialism. Also, do not forget that this is still going on - Western business still dominates the domestic markets of countries that seem to have formally gained independence in the 50s and 60s of the 20th century. Colonialism hasn't really gone away, mercenaries from the French Foreign Legion are still in Africa, and the French keep all resources and business under their control. Also, do not forget about the dollar - this is the main world trade and reserve currency. All trades between countries take place in dollars. This means that America can stupidly print money, and just like a vacuum cleaner suck goods from the world markets. This is what the US is doing - look at their national debt, look at their budget deficit. The US budget revenues are $5 trillion and expenditures are $9 trillion. A deficit of 80% of the budget. They stupidly print money and suck goods from world markets, dooming poor countries to poverty.
