I’m putting the post under the fold because some of you might not have had breakfast yet and the post’s subject matter is disturbing and unappetizing.
The post is about what it is that the Russians are really incinerating under the guise of sanctioned food.
Oh, I’m so dense. Of course, it isn’t food that the Russians are burning in their mobile incinerators. Or not only food. The very first incinerators have been placed right on the border with Ukraine, supposedly to destroy pork brought in from Ukraine. Clearly, there’s something else that is being incinerated under the guise of pork.
Every seeming insanity has its practical uses. Traumatize people with the spectacles of destroying food and get rid of the bodies of your soldiers that it would be too expensive to acknowledge. Two convenient solutions for the price of one.
P.S. The number of really disturbing, unhealthy jokes about mobile ovens (with all of the historic connotations of the word “ovens”) that is circulating in Russia is scary.

It seems to me it’s more likely that there is some corruption scheme at play here. It won’t be that hard to report that a certain quantity of food has been destroyed and then sell most of it on the black market and make a profit.

Good point. Three great solutions for the price of one, then.

Speaking of corruption and jokes, have you heard this one (no ovens are mentioned): “Rotenberg brothers* won the tender for restoring the Berlin Wall”
Rotenberg brothers are very rich and influential businessmen, closely associated with Putin.

Funny. 🙂 🙂 And it’s still a joke for now. Let’s give it a few more years.
