Putin's threat to starve the innocent now coming to fruition

On April 5, 2022, Guy Faulconbridge reported that,

"President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Russia must keep a close eye on its food exports to hostile countries because the West's sanctions had fomented a global food crisis and spiralling energy prices.
...
"They will inevitably exacerbate food shortages in the poorest regions of the world, spur new waves of migration and in general drive food prices even higher," Putin told a meeting on developing food production.
...
"In these current conditions, a shortage of fertilisers on the global market is inevitable," Putin said. "We will have to be more careful about food supplies abroad, especially carefully monitor the exports to countries which are hostile to us." (Reuters : 5 April 2022) (my emphasis)

What is even more disconcerting, as reported in late April by DW, is that,

"Russia's invasion of Ukraine is being felt far and wide. The ravaged agricultural industry is causing shortages of staples such as wheat, sunflower oil, and corn. DW met a farmer struggling to pick up the pieces after Russian troops destroyed his livelihood." (DW : 22 April 2022) (my emphasis) 

And today, Putin's threats are becoming more manifest as he has ordered his navy to block Ukraine's ports from exporting grain and other foodstuffs to the rest of the world.

As reported by Martin Farrer,

"After pleas from western government and the United Nations to Moscow to allow the flow of food to avert possible famine in some countries, Medvedev said on Thursday that Russia was ready to do so but expected “assistance from trading partners, including on international platforms” in return
...
“Countries importing our wheat and other food products will have a very difficult time without supplies from Russia. And on European and other fields, without our fertilisers, only juicy weeds will grow,” added Medvedev, who served as president between 2008 and 2012 but is now deputy chairman of Russia’s security council." (The Guardian : 20 May 2022) (my emphasis)

Yet BOTH Putin and his puppet, Dmitry Medvedev, are trying to foist the global food crisis on the sanctions that have been placed on themselves, their 'siloviki', and their armaments industries, whilst the world can see that this global food crisis has arisen out of the second war that Putin started in Ukraine.

But just as Putin's second war in Ukraine is continuously backfiring on him, forcing him to resort to "threatening famine in many countries"; this dangerous "political flailing" will also backfire on him and his Kremlin cohorts.

The world sees Putin's and Medvedev's threats as pure and unadulterated "blackmail" against the global community. 

The starving of the world will see that Putin will not release food to them unless all the money that Putin and his 'siloviki' have stolen from the Russian people is handed back to them

More than anything else, this latest threat of Putin's, to light the touchpaper of  famine, amplifies the fact that Putin is the head of a criminal enterprise, NOT the head of a government.
