Escelating risk to oil, gas and grain.

This is a few links from sources with reference to the threat to the west and political instability being caused by Russias expansionist plans of late.
SD may not want this type of stuff ( a political threat is a gray area needing SDs editorial control) but I think at the moment the risk from oil and grain embargos / price hikes is definitely worth a bit of our attention.

On the grain front the price has gone up 20% since the end of Feb

FYI NATO is also moving as many military assets as possible to the border areas tween Europe and russia

Interesting news.

I think SD's issue was about just posting news articles, and not saying how that effects plans, and not saying about how we can prep to take into account these issues...if I remember correctly.

If you just added a few lines, like "Buy up LOADS of grain based products and fill your tanks up" along with something like "Get a waterbutt, then gradually fill it with fuel e.g. diesel or petrol, and keep it hidden, as a stock. Maybe treat it with Stor-Bil", I'm sure SD wouldn't be bothered about the news, because a solution has also been provided.
