Bit of an overstatement but Europe has a MASSIVE supply and logistics issue still ongoing from 2020, it would have sorted itself by now if it wasn't for the sanctions and Democrat actions in the US that made fuel costs increase so much.
As I said before, this winter will be a massive test for every European country as if blackouts and food shortages do happen, if the public react then there's hope in that country of reclaiming it. If we have a terrible winter, many die in cold homes and there's no resistance at all, that country is just free real estate to be taken.
The problem is, people are reactionary morons with zero long term memory. If things go to hell, they're just going to respond by becoming die hard [opposite of whoever is currently in office], even if the policies that ruined their country were put in place by someone completely different. Every issue in Europe right now is squarely the fault of leftists and globalists, but if the scapegoat is a populist, it means the people will beg for more globalism.
If I were more cynical I might suggest that the reason we're suddenly seeing a pivot away from the left is so the right takes all the blame when people are hungry, broke, and freezing. Then they can swoop in come spring and end up with even more power than they already had. Same thing that happened with COVID.
Then they can swoop in come spring and end up with even more power than they already had. Same thing that happened with COVID.
And they lost it all bar a few exceptions like Canada and New Zealand. That's the thing, to accomplish that it would require a level of competence and unity the left simply cannot possess, the people may be reactionary but that's not we are after, we are after that small group of people that if they act can REALLY cause change. If events cause them to finally take action then you will see the leftist organisations fall to them.
Americans diplomats on an official trip to Russia will end-up requiring the chauffeur make an unplanned detour to a random grocery store because they won't believe Russians still have full shelves and warm houses.
On 16 September 1989, Yeltsin toured a medium-sized grocery store (Randalls) in Texas. Leon Aron, quoting a Yeltsin associate, wrote in his 2000 biography, Yeltsin, A Revolutionary Life (St. Martin's Press): "For a long time, on the plane to Miami, he sat motionless, his head in his hands. 'What have they done to our poor people?' he said after a long silence." He added, "On his return to Moscow, Yeltsin would confess the pain he had felt after the Houston excursion: the 'pain for all of us, for our country so rich, so talented and so exhausted by incessant experiments'." He wrote that Mr. Yeltsin added, "I think we have committed a crime against our people by making their standard of living so incomparably lower than that of the Americans." An aide, Lev Sukhanov, was reported to have said that it was at that moment that "the last vestige of Bolshevism collapsed" inside his boss.
Intersectionality + mass migration is Communism with race where the non-Whites shall have the ressources of the ''privileged'' redistributed to their benefit, with a corrupt elite stealing from the people, never having to deal with the disastrous consequences of their policies.
And the end-results of Communism are famine, genocides and collapse.
The reality is that if you want to photograph some empty shelves, you can do it anywhere in the world at any time of year- just go there about an hour before the next delivery arrives. It's that easy.
This happened countless times in the first months of the pandemic. Yes, the shelves got emptied out. They were full again with a matter of hours. It's not a shortage, it's the supply line, every single time.
When the shortage is real, those shelves will stay empty for DAYS and then WEEKS, not hours.
It's not single snapshots of empty shelves that prove this as you point out. What is needed is multiple data points showing shelf placement in stores and relative to other shelves.
A few stores I've used over the years have removed entire shelves from their floor because they no longer carry enough stock to keep the previous floor plan stocked. The easiest places to notice this are aisles where previously you may have issues passing another customer with a trolley you risked colliding with due to how narrow the aisle originally was.
Now? No risk of collision at all but nobody picks up on it or realises what that means.
In any country you can find full and empty shelves.
I do think Russia is dealing better with the situation than Europe. There are Western European countries that now have higher inflation than the basketcase that is the Russian economy.
Of course, the ruling class doesn't give a damn about that.
Sure there are. There's thousands of stores in every country, and some of them are bound to have empty shelves. By selectively filming empty shelves in one country and full ones in another, you can make look anyone good or bad by comparison.
I don't see any empty shelves here. I did ~6 weeks ago; 2 days before the store temporarily closed for renovation. I think it reopens in 2 weeks.
Last time we had empty shelves were during initial covid panic, mostly toilet paper, flour & yeast. And some stores are currently not having any Mars (American) products atm, cause there are some ongoing conflict between those stores & Mars about the pricing.
I have noticed as of late 2020 early 2021 that several Lidl and Aldi stores in my area have rearranged their center isles by adding more walk space, not rotating household products, and (in general) reducing amount of physical goods sold in the store. They did this to promote online webshops as alternatives.
But I think that's due to logistics side of it since its quite inefficient to transport unsold goods back and forth between supermarket stores and distribution centers.
Other supermarket store franchises such as Jumbo and Albert Heijn still offer the same products, produce and goods as before of the entire virus "outbreak" shenanigans.
For context, Europe is a vast continent with large discrepancy in wealth and the blockades giving logistics companies hard time to transport goods to all corners of this continent in a sensible fashion.
And no I'm not waving this issue away. It's another stomach blow to us regular citizens who have to endure even more shite. Guess what our EU bureaucrats decided to do, whom occupy their comfy cushiony heated seats in their shiny ivory tower. They voted to combat the ever clear and present danger of.... CO2 emissions by banning selling of new internal combustion engines in 2035. Great job.. assholes.
Please, there are empty shelves in the rich part of NYC if you take a picture right after black Friday. We have no idea when any of these pictures were taken, or even where.
I think that euros are massively coping when they say they're owning putler, but some pictures prove nothing.
This exactly. It's so enraging to read clueless people like OP who know zero actual Russians. In the meantime I am trying to send money and advice to friends fleeing and others stuck. Neither can afford anything anymore but it doesn't matter as they don't have anything to buy.
Russian foreign propaganda is amazing I have to say, as rubes like OP keep buying it. Internally it sucks though and millions are fleeing the country. It's one of the saddest and most awful country self immolations I have seen.

I'm always skeptical of 'empty shelves!' panics.

Does make me wonder though. If Russia has been successfully sanctioned then how come I can pick up their food in your typical EuroPol store in UK?
At least they aren't dying from Covid or speaking Russian, eh?
He lives in Israel. High prices in Europe aren't going to affect him.

Talking directly and Russians is Western propaganda?
Stop believing your lying eyes!
Mental gymnastics perfect 10. Bravo sir.

Read again, I'm talking directly to my friends there. You should do the same if you want the truth.
