Or intended depending on your point of view .

Turkey is now on the brink ( before Ukraine ) this may well be the straw ......interesting times ! More preps !

Okay to address your final sentence about Turkey.
Turkey is a pawn. Do you play chess? What do you do with YOUR pawns, mate?
Black Sea ports are shut down now. Expect any folks living in Indonesia, Singapore, some countries in the African continent and some of the ME to get thinner soon. This month is March, Yes? Planting season in Europe, yes? Ukraine grows much of their crops in the north east, yes? Which parts are under duress and disruption right now? The folks evacuating, where are they running from? Do you think some of them might be farmers?

India had a hack attack on their biggest port recently. There are only so many shipping containers available. Average price for a container is about $15,000 these days and that is a massive jump. Some shipping containers were queued up because of coof and could not get to port to off load (anything that was fresh was dumped), some because of hack, some because of the current conflict. The result is the same - if you cannot put it into a container then you cannot stow it safely on a ship. If you cannot ship it, the folks who need it do not get it. If it is fresh expect it to be mould ridden and dumped. What does this mean? The supply chain which has already taken a significant rear reaming in 2020 and 2021 is about to be reamed out further. Gosh, the timing - it is almost like someone planned this.
Metal is fine. Food goes off. How much metal do you eat or import? How much food do you eat? Where does it come from?
Ask what is being targeted? Who does it affect? Who benefits?
