THE RUSSIAN MISSILES MAKE ALSO EXPLODE THE KITCHEN OF THE RUSSIAN

Coarse with going shopping to a supermarket to know it is taken the president from Russia well with what countries, Vladímir Putin who accustoms to punish their enemies with alimentary seizures that have transformed the basket of the purchase into a complex geopolitical Macedonian. "The gentleman Tomato has changed nationality. Once again", he informed the Russian press after the Kremlin ordered to prohibit the import of vegetables and Turkish fruits due to the I demolish of a Russian bombardier in the Syrian frontier. 

It is useless to consult the calendar of the Kremlin, to toss a glance to the map of pipeline of Gazprom, to revise the list of western sanctions or the date of the next consultations for the conflict arrangement in Syria or Ukraine. A visit to the fruit stand section and greenness of a store of ultramarine or of a great commercial surface it is more than enough to analyze in detail the international geopolitical joint. 

The seizure against the European Union had already changed radically the panorama in the Muscovite bookcases of fresh products, but the suspension of the Turkish imports has complicated even more the election and urged the cost of the basket of the purchase notably. First he played him the shift to the tomatoes, cheeses, oranges, peppers, mandarin, cucumbers, onions, peaches or apples coming from Spain, Italy, France, Poland, Holland or the Baltic countries. Of one day for other, the selection in the Russian supermarkets decreased notably, what was noticed with special virulence in the section of cheeses, where he/she collapsed as much the variety as the quality. 

Making honor to that the misery makes worse the genius, the social nets appealed to the irony and the internet users even composed warlike songs dedicated to the expulsion of the Spanish ham and of the Italian Parmesan, the presumed invaders un wish’s. Turkey had benefitted in great measure during year and half from the seizure to the products perishable western, but few days after the ordinance of Putin, its vegetables and fruits had also disappeared already of the stores. Little cares that the measure should not go into effect up to next January 1, since the Turkish tomatoes have been replaced by the Azerbaijanis, their oranges and mandarin for the Moroccans, and their onions for the Chinese. 

A while ago that countries like China, Israel or Serbia, with which Russia has narrow cultural knots, they are making the August in the Russian market with the supply of fruits, vegetables and sausages, unknown until recently for these homes. The fact that the fresh fish have not been included in the punished lists it has not impeded that the Russian suppliers in an apparent expression of patriotism and of disproportionate it covets they have stopped to care the appreciated Turkish lubina overnight. Now the lubina is no longer Turkish, but Moroccan, what has shot the price of that fish considerably in the markets of supplies until a thousand rubles the kilo (more than 13 Eurus), a fortune for half Russian. 

According to the press, the next one damaged by this punished political could be Montenegro that had increased sensibly in the last times their alimentary exports to the Russian market. The recent announcement that the NATO invites him to enter in the breast of the Atlantic Alliance he has sat down very bad in Moscow who could include in any moment to the Balkan ones in its black list. 

With the honorable exceptions maybe of Argentina, Chile and Ecuador, the Latin American countries have not benefitted of the situation, and no matter how much the Government insists, the Russian producers neither have been able to cover the hole left by the sanctioned countries. 

The main one harmed he/she has been the Russian consumer, since these fights intestines have caused a dramatic rise in the price of the basic products, phenomenon that will become worse next year after the seizure to Turkey, as it predicted this week the own Central Bank. Even in the Russian counties the tomatoes come closer already dangerously to the 200 rubles (2,5 Eurus) the kilo, a prohibitive price in this country. 

The quality has also suffered a hard setback, since, according to the organizations of the consumer's defense, the falsification affects to more than two thirds of the processed foods, in particular to the cheeses that you grieve they take milk in its composition. 

For everything it, the parties of New Year are presented hard for the Russian whose real revenues have fallen for first time since Putin arrived 16 years ago to the power due to the deep recession in which the Russian economy ballasted by the sanctions and the fall of the prices of the petroleum is sunk. 

It seems incredible, but it is this way and I assure them that for many years they know my readers that when I refer to Russia or the world ex-soviet I count them some anecdote of those that I could see myself in my commercial trips to the Soviet communist universe for my profession already then get myself the attention to see that everybody men and women always went with a bag (most of times empty) with the trust one day I dared to ask the reason of that and the answer was devastating, they always went with a bag for if going by a trade of ultramarine or something similar, they saw that there was I generate to buy and they didn't think it to him at all they bought it, didn't go that go to look for a bag supposed that to the turn there are no longer existences. 

Before a country it is this way useless any measure of pressure has to understand it the European ones and as always I say that that more he/she would want it is that they and Putin understood it and once and for all understands that he/she should take seriously to negotiate with the UE it doesn't stop to finish with the sanctions but to finish with the isolation so exacerbated that Russia is imposed to if same everything to make see that he/she doesn't need nobody that is the biggest power in the world…. That if the Russian of on foot equal has to go down the street with a bag to see that they can buy.
