Precipitous drop in crop yields for countries that can't find substitute suppliers with enough quantity of fertilizer inputs in a timely manner. Looks like it's dependent on the type of crop but to give one example, the yield of rice ranges from 19%-41% increase in crop yield from applying fertilizer to rice.

edit: Drop in crop yields but got number wrong in this post.

It's real bad. Whats happening in Paraguay, Argentina and southern Brazil with their corn and soy crops getting fried from heat will have repercussions on global food prices. This is before the potash and now increasing nitrogen shortage. Iraq is importing wheat. If Ukrainian wheat exports get curtailed at all in next year, all hell will break loose. If US decides to go nuclear on Russian sanctions and you live outside North America or China, food inflation will be nightmarish.

A lot of the old overpopulation rhetoric was based on estimations of total possible food production before the widespread use of chemical fertilizers. And all the talk of how we make more than enough food to feed everyone is based on agricultural production reliant on chemical fertilizers.

The rails have been taken off. There will be virtually no difference whether Russia takes Donbas or goes all the way to Moldova. This is very serious because it says that then Xi can take Taiwan without consequence.

they are doing a victory lap cause they were technically right about Russia “invading” Ukraine. of course nobody cares and it’s really a self-own by the libs in its own way, but they’ve needed a win badly and this will be one of the few moments they can savor for a long, long time

I guess we'll see, but what this incident has demonstrated is that the West has not only lost the soft power capacity to impose unacceptable cost on committed action by minor powers, but that they're toothless when it comes to kinetic intervention against near peers - or at least in the context of situations in which they have no previous serious defense commitments in place (and that they're reticent to absorb more that'd potentially be liabilities).

Yeah it was kind of loving dickish for us to promise Ukraine NATO membership when we knew we couldn't possibly keep that promise and were actually just hanging a target on Ukraine's back.
