[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7937439, member: 86168"] putin has got the EU sewed up, they need gas, he has gas. But a very real threat, and, if he does invade, anything could happen. He has made 1 mistake, he assumed biden would roll over, re nato, which he didn't, and EU are making the wrong noises, it has pushed him into a corner, and it's a back down, or war, or some very diplomatic magic will have to happen. It seems impossible that war could come to Europe again, but the 70 odd years of peace, since ww2, are probably the longest period of peace since the romans left, not a nice thought at all. And if putin does kick off, will china take advantage of it, and invade Taiwan, so that kicks off over there. For all we know Russia and China, could be talking behind the scenes. Whether it is an actual fighting war, or a massive cyber attack, both mean utter mayhem. It's a terrifying thing to even contemplate, and just seems so unlikely, we ignore it, but it is a very real threat. What it means for us, is really down to what Europe, and Nato decide to do, if putin goes into the ukraine, they either roll over, or support ukraine, if they roll over, which country is next, in putins sights, because that is what will happen. Farming wise, as always, we will be expected to produce more, as international trade routes will be compromised, as you say, any imports from Russia, in the form of energy/fert etc, and components from china, will be impacted, with fall out from that, as well. It is interesting to note, that while trump was in the white house, these dangers did not occur so easily, and yet he was detested by many countries, as soon as a lame duck, like biden, gets in, USA changes into a 'weak' country. Trump, for all his bad points, was an action man, and any 'incident' was retaliated against. [/QUOTE]
