Cheap Wheat and Ponzi Globalism.

The invasion of Ukraine has revealed
that Globalism is a kind of Ponzi scam
in which the least-wealthy countries
(especially in Africa) lose out.

It is a house of cards.  Remove one
(Ukraine, the poorest country in Europe
but an important supplier of cheap wheat)
and the whole chain collapses,
with mass starvation in Africa.
