Russia appears to want to fight a global war because of food. Russia on July 17 decided not to allow food shipments ( wheat) to go through the Black Sea. This will cause food insecurity and food inflation all over the world ( as if heat waves and floods and drought wasn’t enough).
Most wars are caused by much less. The need for cheap resources. Strict nationalism. The need for land. The insidious secret wars of ideology ( economic, religious and form of government).
It is my uneducated view that holding food as a hostage is a strong reason to go to war against the hostage taker.
* I really don’t want to go to war. I’m hoping for a negotiated end of hostilities between Russia and Ukrainian, even if it’s similar to the end of hostilities between North and South Korea.
