Throughout history the human population has only been able to increase thanks to innovation. Irrigation, the wheel, alternating crops, crop distance, keeping disease in check, genetic engineering to increase resistance and crop yields, and this is another innovation in that line. If you want to go back to nature, by all means do.

I believe the only way forward is through science and innovation and if that means genetically altered food for the bees, then so be it. This with the in combination with limiting roundup should bring the global bee populations back from the brink.

Don’t sell yourself short, you’re hot property!

This whole thing hinges on a strong economy, some sort of super weapon and a weak Europe.

Their economy is shit, there isn’t and won’t be some super weapon and although Europe has a slow decision making process, the countries that matter are not as weak as Russia needs them to be.

The assumption Europe won’t cut Russian energy off was also wildly optimistic.

They’re still trying, but instead of a third empire they’re getting a century of backwardness and poverty. Well done Vladimir, you will go down as one of the worst rulers in history.
