Doing without, tightening our belts, not to mention malnutrition and starvation are nothing new for the Majority World, Mr Onkov.

Please don’t overlook the ugly truth that the wonderful ‘development’ and ‘advancement’of the Western powers (Ukraine seeks to join in that wild party whose feasting has led to the current climate catastrophes)has been founded upon extreme exploitation over centuries and the DELIBERATE CALCULATED acts, causing famines to Black and Brown people for generations, in every region of the world they invaded, stole resources from and set up systems of forced labour, all the while, trumpeting about human rights and freedom at home.

Perhaps you could take a peep at the truths that the ANglo-American Empire always seeks to hide — eg the delibearte spreading of diseases to native Americans to haten their demise, the famines in India in the 19th century. Churchill’s edicts causing famine in the 1940's… 500,000 children dying of starvation due to sanctions imposed by the heroic Americans recently….

This is not ‘demonising’ Americans/ the Western Europeans and their cousins in Australia, Canada etc, but recognising how they came to occupy/exploit the resources of very fertile lands, rich in the goodies they wanted to get their hands on… they must impose their will to take from others from all around the world. Do you think they fund some 800 military bases all across the world, as a favour to the peoples whose resources they take, on the terms they dictate? Ukrainians just want a slice of that stolen pie which NATO forces around the world, ensure.
