It means that the famine will start now, and they will lift the sanctions, and be friends with us, because they will realize it is necessary"

I think we have to believe this because it is on official state television and directed at a Russian audience, and because the propagandists have been damned accurate in their statements so far. Also, this kind of casual brutality is absolutely on-brand for the Putin Regime and for Russia at large. If that comes to pass, it is easy to see the Turks stepping in to safeguard grain shipments and risk expanding the war in a direction Moscow never considered. An additional side effect of this is more support for Ukraine wresting control of Crimea, particularly Sebastopol, from Russia because with a Russian base in Crimea, Ukrainian grain shipments will never be safe or guaranteed.
