Well I heard they produce around 20% of the world's grain along with Ukraine
who are responsible for around 10% of the world's grain. This will have massive
implications as Ukraine may miss an entire harvest due to the war and Russia
will be sanctioning the trade of commodities with the West. We in Europe are
highly dependent on imports from that area. The BBC have already reported that
food inflation will go up by around 15% this year.

We just do things differently here. It's rare to see big SUV style cars or gas
guzzlers and land is expensive as we are all normally hearded into crowded and
densely populated areas. Sometimes I am envious of you Yanks.
