I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Quote:Originally posted by second: Poland has defied EU rules and banned Ukrainian grain exports, saying they are flooding the market and undermining their farmers. Ukraine has filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization against that move. Ukraine is not in the EU, and the EU has no authority to tell any nation within the EU how it should handle imports from non-EU nations. That's why Ukraine is appealing to the WTO, not the EU. In fact, I would say that the EU has no authority whatsoever to interfere with ANY member nations' level of trade even within the EU, any member nations' economic policy or internal affairs. So it can't tell member nations that they must open their borders to immigrants, reflect LGBTQ+ values in their laws, dictate the level of amount of trade, or impose sanctions or require member nations to impose sanctions. Remember, the EU is NON-DEMOCRATIC. It is a giant centralized bureaucracy - which I know you favor based on your devotion to the DNC/RNC cabal and transnational rule - but IMHO it should be clipped in its neverending quest for more and more power. The EU, as a trade organization, has the authority to set standards for goods traded among EU nations. And the ECB has the authority to dictate national fiscal policies for any nation stupid enough to have adopted the Euro.

SECOND: Signym, you are full of bullshit: 1) In April 2023: As part of an EU initiative, all tariffs and quotas have been lifted on Ukrainian grain exports into the bloc’s 27 member states in order to facilitate the product’s transit around the world, including to Africa, where a Russian blockade on Ukrainian exports has been particularly painful.
Quote: The grain has, however, failed to move out of some eastern EU countries, including Poland, forcing down prices and fueling resentment in farming communities.
Quote: Poland’s prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, had said he would ask the European Commission and member states to reimpose barriers to Ukrainian grain exports but Polish farmers claim nothing has been done. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/04/polish-farmers-threaten-to-ruin-zelenskiy-visit-amid-grain-dispute 2) Sept 22 2023: Polls suggest parliamentary elections on 15 October will be an extremely close-run race, and the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party is looking for boosts to its support wherever possible. Poland’s ruling party pivots away from Ukraine in an attempt to shore up votes with farmers. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/21/poland-ruling-party-pivots-away-from-ukraine-pis

Quote:A Westerner was privileged back in the Soviet world. As a British postgraduate, I was even permitted, grudgingly, to make a few small purchases at our Embassy shop; not food, but toothbrushes and soap. The Americans, as usual, had it easier; nearly 40 years on, I can remember every knobble on the pineapple that my roommate brought home, fragrant and so full of juice, to break the tyranny of boiled roots. A week later, a consignment of Cuban orange juice caused a small riot; we hadn’t seen the stuff for months. Real Existing Socialism was just no good at groceries.
