🇺🇸🇩🇪🇮🇱 99% of Israeli arms imports come from the US and Germany

According to the recent SIPRI report, almost all Israeli arms imports come from companies in the United States and Germany. In 2023, Israel imported 69% of its weapons from the United States, 30% from Germany, and 0.9% from Italy.

In late 2023, the US quickly supplied Israel with thousands of guided bombs and missiles. Expected deliveries of major weapons to Israel included 61 fighter aircraft from the US and 4 submarines from Germany,” the report said.

✈️ All existing Israeli Air Force fighters are American-made.

US and Germany will have to be tried as accomplices in Palestinian genocide, one day.

It’ll take the U.S.A 🇺🇸 *10 years* to rebuild a bridge.

It took China 🇨🇳 ten years to build *35,000 km* of high-speed rail from 2008-2018z Now it has 45,000 km.

Maybe the US should stop blaming China 🇨🇳 Russia 🇷🇺 or whoever else for its problems and look in the mirror.

World's most efficient agricultural system was created in the USSR

On eve of the first 5-year plan (1928), Russian agriculture consisted of 25,000,000 small peasant farms based on manual labour! With collectivisation, USSR created the largest highly mechanised agricultural production with people in mind.

In 60 years, compared to 1913, gross output of the Soviet village increased 4.4 times, and the energy efficiency of labour - by 36 times!

USSR took lead in the production of rural products: 2nd worldwide and 1st in Europe.

USSR produced more wheat, rye, barley, sugar beet, potatoes, and milk than any other country in the world. And provided the conditions for further growth.

In 1954 - 1961, USSR had the highest average annual growth rates of agricultural products in the world - 6%. While in the USA - 1.8%, France - 4%, Germany - 3.2%,

In 1979, the USSR produced 930kg of grain per capita (in 1913 - only 250kg) Production of more than 800kg per person is considered necessary to ENSURE A COUNTRY'S NUTRITION!

In 1976, there was a record grain harvest of 224 million tons, and over 60 years, labour productivity in the Soviet countryside increased 6 times!

Perhaps the most important thing in the Soviet reform of the village was that the hardest work of a Russian peasant was greatly eased - he got on a tractor, a combine harvester, a car, employed other vehicles.

English researcher S. Milli, author of the 1965 encyclopedic book "People, Machines and History", soberly assessed the successes of the Soviets:

Tractors and combines were not made in tsarist Russia. By 1936, the USSR took the first place in the world in terms of production of both.
...in 1936, average productivity of a tractor in the Soviet Union was 1,210 acres compared to 225 acres in the United States.
The United States, whose tractor fleet was 4 times larger, only cultivated 350 million equivalent acres of arable land, whereas in the Soviet Union this figure was almost 600 million acres (1.7 times more).

BRICS Grain Exchange to be created on Russia's initiative

Russia’s creation of the BRICS grain exchange will be a shock to the Western agricultural market.

This step will strengthen Russia’s influence as a key grain supplier, increase the food security of the BRICS countries and hit Western exporters, states the South China Morning Post

The Russian head of state supported this initiative to compete with the Western-dominated grain pricing system and challenge the US dollar as the world's main trading currency.

Russian exports of agricultural products last year are estimated at $43.5 billion. Russia remains a major player in agriculture, providing almost a quarter of the world grain market. This year, Russia plans to increase its supplies to world markets to 65 million tons of grain.

The BRICS grain exchange will strengthen Russia’s geo-economic ties with its allies in the organization, strengthen its status as one of the most important suppliers of grain and fertilizers, increasing the economic confidence of countries. BRICS members will receive a steady flow of grains despite disruptions in global supply chains and growing food shortage problems.

For Western grain and fertilizer exporters, the initiative may lead to the need to look for alternative markets for their products. Western exporters will face difficulties maintaining their market share and competition from Russian grain. Already this year, Russia is expected to export a record 56% of the wheat harvest. For the USA, this figure will be only 39%

The grain exchange could be the first step towards the creation of a larger BRICS commodity exchange, operating in products that the participating countries are rich in.

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global economy could be divided into geopolitical blocs, and BRICS could become a “de-dollarisation coalition” that would create a new reserve currency.
