The Ukraine was once a Breadbasket to the World.

Nevermind lithium.  These farmers fed the world. 

The water level in Kherson is expected to rise by an additional three feet or so before subsiding, the head of the Kherson regional military administration, Oleksandr Prokudin, said. As of early Wednesday morning, more than 1,800 houses had been flooded in areas controlled by Ukraine, and more than 1,400 people had been evacuated, he said.

The effects on southern Ukraine were becoming clearer Wednesday morning. The agriculture minister said that 94 percent of agricultural irrigation systems in the Kherson region, 74 percent in Zaporizhzhia and 30 percent in Dnipropetrovsk would be left without a water source. 

Think of all that farmland, once rich and productive, lost in wartime.  

"all's fair" and all, and damaging infrastructure -- no matter which side pulled it off -- in wartime naturally must be expected.  Warriors destroy to win. That's what they do. Boom. These Pentagon "rebuilding" and humanitarian missions are something the miltary geniuses under Bush-Cheney cooked up to justify our invasions of sovereign nations, promising "help".  

Real soldiers don't do missionary men's work.  Never have. Bullets bringing people to God?  That's an American Evangelist overlap, to justify our military helping to cook up ... End Times.  Boy are they succeeding here on earth with that mission, anyway. ;-)

Damned fools.  Don't fall in line behind them. Think for yourself.  Don't worship the gun, America.  The children are watching...
