In this video I look at the collapse of the grain deal. For #Ukraine it's not a big loss. The grain deal was only acceptable as a temporary measure, and going forward they will want real control over maritime traffic to their ports. #Russia might be the bigger loser in this. If they have to enforce a real blockade, then it will put their warships in a vulnerable position. https://youtu.be/fvPcPZP-6os

@anderspuck I was there, first in the line ๐Ÿ˜€ Great video, as always!
@srandista Hehe, cool. Thanks for watching. ๐Ÿ˜Š
@anderspuck thank you, I appreciate you adding important context and expertise, and also being transparent and accountable in your speculations.
Russiaโ€™s supply of submarines about to increase, nay, explode.
@anderspuck - FIRST thing I looked at this morning, and as usual, PLUS EXPECTED, a studied and knowledge-based assessment of complex matters.
BTW, I have tried to reach you with BOTH of your published email addresses, to no avail.
I have no idea why, save perhaps for your ISP(s) being somewhat unknown to Mozilla???
@anderspuck So you are at vacation? I am too, but here it is 36 degrees right now, and I am hacking one of these gins with a little squeeze of tonic. ๐Ÿ˜‰
@anderspuck Interesting perspective as usual, thank you!
I haven't heard such positive takes on the grain deal collapse from the Ukrainian commentators, though they usually tend to focus on a much shorter term.
