I think he will be tempted to leave NATO and the West with the problem of starvation in the third world
You really think he's that bad?
yes, or worse. good/bad ideas are childish
I'm a peaceful Russophile. NATO's behind the shortages, for prolonging war. NATO decided post facto that the war' s to bleed Russia dry (yet the rouble is higher!)
By prolonging the war, and mining Odessa, Ukraine stopped corn shipments, let Ukraine remove its mines and perhaps ships can sail? Zelensky has a quixotic idea of expelling the Russia from Donbas and/or Crimea.
Why would Russia worry? She exports more corn than any other nation, Putin knows. fFeed yourselves and find your own energy. And good luck!
Palmerston might have said, Russia has no eternal allies, or enemies. Russia's interests are eternal, and those interests Putin must follow, you do not become the biggest country on earth by copying Robin Hood!
Do not play poker against Russia , Russia has a much better hand than NATO
( having control over the largest supplies of energy and food on the planet) as well as a huge military industrial complex. That's how it is!
Russia slowly wins, Russia won't quit and Zelensky Loses daily. To break the stalemate, NATO must back off, UKAF will go soon from the Donbas/Crimea.
First NATO will heed anti-war adherents, Henry Kissinger, and the daily Telegraph.

As at Mariupol, at severodonetsk-lysychansk, ways in or out of, are under guns and the JFO is marooned there, 15,000 troops waiting around without hope , before being given Mariupol treatment.
