Surpressing a nation the size of Ukraine is a lot to chew for anybody. as never seen a war on this scale, he's been bullying small nations or rebel/terrorists forces, not always with great success either.

Funny you say Putin isn't dumb (I agree he isn't) and then say Putin thinks African banks are going to save his ass :D nah, Russia's agriculture has been dependant on imports, so is their industry.

a) You forget there is a sizable Russian minority in the Ukraine.

b) Obviously you have no clue. Google "Largest wheat exporter" and you will wake up.

c) The African banks (and their nations) are either dependent on Russia or China. Once again, Putin has planned a lot of things for a lot of time. Yes - the Russians will suffer from the blockades, no question about that. The Oligarchs (more precisely: the Kleptokrats) wil suffer too. Putin? He is too clever for that.

Russian minority is around 20% but majority live in Crimea. This doesn't change what I said, there's a great number of Ukrainian people. And let's not assume every Russian in Ukrane supports what Putin is doing.

Russia imports  a lot of food stuff and raw material needed in agriculture, seeds etc. Don't know why wheat is now your end game. EU is another top exporter of wheat anyway and it has been increasing.

I won't even bother with the last part lol you have a very Russian way of seeing their leader as all-knowing and infallible. Hopefully Putin's jig is up soon in the eyes of people.
