Why does Brazil need so much fertilizer? To grow soybeans. Why do they need so much soybean? To sell to China, where they use it to feed pigs. I think China must have waved a red flag to Bolsanaro. If the Russians are not allowed to sell fertilizer to Brazil it will be Chinese more than anyone else who will be the loser with food price inflation.Y.

On the western/globalist side you’ve got the US & Britain as the core members, with their vassals Germany, France, the remaining NATO states including Canada, plus Japan, South Korea and Australia, all sharing the same immediate goal: crush the upstart Russians and go back to maintaining their global dominance and imposing their global order.
Then you’ve got the Russo-Chinese bloc opposing them, with their vassals like North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Belarus and a handful of other states on the globalist west’s naughty list. There’s also some small players that can’t do much but might be willing to help either Russia or China depending on the circumstances, such as the UEA, Serbia, Ecuador, Cuba, Venezuela, Myanmar, and various African states.
If Brazil falls in line with sanctions, you will see Chinese pick up Russian fertilizer in bulk and resell it to the Brazilians under a Chinese label; but of course there will be additional costs of shipping, profit etc which will be eat into their profit which is why this plea.
