they are all in the same boat sailing too their 1 % tune .
Trudeau in that boat as well with his rainbow , sunglasses and socks , but just in the sideline’s because he is completely irrelevant on the world stage now .

The US made Russia invade Ukraine, and in other news the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale

Hey, I’m not picking sides, it is what it is, Putin won’t back down and I can’t blame him, anyone supporting high heels should read a little more or follow your fore fathers in reverse and help the Ukraine out and beat back the Russians.

Have to give them some credit, they've finally figure out that Putin's unjustified invasion of Ukraine is the reason why their wheat prices are in the shitter.

Russia probably takes Ukraine this summer. There’s no way Ukraine holds out much longer unless by some miracle they persevere. However, Russia is a pariah and will be froze out as they will not stop there. So many have been fooled by Russian propaganda and Maskerovka to believe they are the victim of NATO encroachment. Far as wheat is concerned I think it goes hard until it doesn’t in Russia. What could be an eventual possibility though is sanctions in general and the crumbling infrastructure reduces theirs and the conquered ukraines export viability. Besides, Ukraine becomes unfarmable as it’s a battleground. If the Russian sympathies are drowned out by the reality of the situation in the White House, and Trump as much as he hates China, a few threats to China with sanctions causes them to freeze out Russia too. China only exists with happy trading partners. Russia only has oil and wheat to give them but China needs viable currency in return for production of manufactured goods. It’s a ball of wax but interesting situation to play out in the next 6 months I think. Trump will win and that is even more fun to watch.

Are they unloading wheat as fast as possible at any price, in preparation for possible sanctions on grains? Now that prices are lower, and world starvation has been postponed, the west can justify sanctions on food, whereas in 2022, at high prices, and with the media full of stories about impending food shortages, cutting off the worlds biggest exporter wouldn't have been a politically popular move.

Yes. You nailed it.

The brix trading partners is a whole other ball of wax that isn’t get much attention. Seems like it’s expanding more and more as time goes

During the WAR, very farmable apparently...exporting nearly double us.

"Ukraine exports over 1.3 mln tonnes of grain in first week of March - According to the State Customs Service, as of March 8, since the beginning of 2023/24 MY, Ukraine exported 30.989 mln tonnes of grains and pulses. This includes 1.319 mln tonnes shipped in the current month, the press service of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine reported.
At the same time, as of the same date last year, the total shipments reached 33.458 mln tonnes, and in March – 1.161 mln tonnes. In terms of crops, since the beginning of the current season, the following were exported:
- wheat – 12.375 mln tonnes (in March – 603 thsd tonnes);
- barley – 1.761 mln tonnes (138 thsd tonnes);
- rye – 1 thousand tons (0);
- corn – 16.569 mln tonnes (574 thsd tonnes).
The total export of Ukrainian flour as of March 8 is also lower y-o-y and is estimated at 74.9 thsd tonnes (in March - 0.9 thsd tonnes), including 71.1 thsd tonnesof wheat flour (0.9 thsd tonnes). ) Total all grains 1,315,000. Canada exported 798,500 MT of all grains in the week ended March 03

Russia...The export of wheat from Russia in March may amount to 4.4-4.5 mln tonnes, which will exceed the figure of the previous month (4.24 mln tonnes) but will not reach the level of the same period a year earlier.

Over triple Ukraine, 5.6 times Canadian exports. They are just fine, WE have problems.

Yes. You nailed it.

Yet, the perception doesn't match reality. Worldwide wheat stocks to use and ending stocks all lower now than in 2022.

That’s the unusual part of this whole situation
