So what are going to be the effects of this war? I mean besides the horror, besides the casualties, besides the refugees this will cause, what are the second and third order effects this is going to cause? Both Ukraine and Russia account for a third of the world's wheat exports. Countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa are particularly vulnerable to famine. Yemen is ALREADY going through a famine. Increasing food prices often lead to civil unrest. quote:https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-russia-bread-food-prices-civil-unrest-arab-spring-egypt-2022-3 What other knock on effects is this going to cause? What else am I missing?

Overpopulation and reduced food supplies tend to lead to massive die-offs. I can't say for sure whether we've got all the pieces in place for that, but...

India just finished building up wheat export terminals and a bumper crop that can cover Ukr/Rus export shortfalls. But speculators are going to drive up the price anyway like 08.

With the EU under stress trying to accommodate a wide variety of political beliefs, Britain’s Brexit is quickly becoming seen in a very different light. Certainly I think any chance of Scottish Independence or Irish reunification just got kicked down the road 20 years.

Comrade Blyatlov posted:Certainly makes the attempts to encourage Brexit look a lot nastier, huh? It's been a taboo truth since the moment 48% of the country stopped existing the morning after the vote. Brexit was a Russian operation. It's taken this long for someone in Parliament to actually stand up and ask if we should perhaps maybe, eventually, look into the possibility of finding out whether Farage and Banks are traitors. The inconvenient bit is that Johnson is only where he is because of Brexit. And as Foreign Secretary he had his clearances pulled because he would do totally innocent things like ditch his close protection detail to meet russian spies when he was meant to be doing NATO stuff. That and his party are hooked on Russian funding.

Who knows; they sure launched a ground attack though https://www.npr.org/2022/03/11/1085427380/ukraine-nuclear-power-plant-zaporizhzhia that was a wild live stream to watch, as the reactors were operating at power at the time, so they were at their full latent decay heat in the event of emergency shutdown.

The reactors in Ukraine are pressurized-water reactors and aren't the kind of graphite-moderated RBMK reactors that would spew spicy atomized graphite like a broken fire hydrant while on fire like Chernobyl's RBMK-1000s. A VVER core blown open by an Iskander would really suck for anyone who had to *deal* with it, but we're not talking about "country-wide milk supplies needing to be dumped."

Definitely, and there’s been allegations surfacing that Russian propagandists were involved in British influence peddling as far back as the 2014 Scottish Referendum. Tories are battling to shed their appearance of Russian affiliation, and the SNP is fending off attacks on both sides as the Scottish Greens share government with them and yet sharply criticize any cooperation with NATO or the UK, and have battled on a host of touch points like vaccine passports, nuclear power, Scottish oil and gas independence, etc. https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/scotland/2022/03/the-snp-has-missed-its-chance-for-scottish-independence

I mean besides the horror, besides the casualties, besides the refugees this will cause, what are the second and third order effects this is going to cause? Wheat, sunflower oil, and something else when it comes to foodstuffs. Lebanon and Egypt should be the bellwethers, I think Egypt has already capped subsidies? Russia is also a major potash exporter so expect fertilizer issues. I think metals were also a worry, I think Russia is a big exporter but I don't remember if its just copper or like nickel and poo poo. The major thing to watch for are export restrictions since they exacerbate shortages while doing little to help. Like you said, food instability brings about popular unrest. At the risk of being laughed at cause the Economist is apparently untrustworthy? https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2022/03/12/war-in-ukraine-will-cripple-global-food-markets

Economist has terrible political takes and an unshakeable faith in the virtues of free markets, but it is generally reliable on checking facts before reporting them and solid on exercises in classical economics like working out MBA-style the impact of a supply disruption.
