I honestly don't know ANYTHING about Russian water/agriculture....other than Ukraine/Russia have some fantastic agricultural land, some of the best in the world.
I do recall reading about some American(and likely Canadian/Aussie) agricultural families/companies looking to invest in that now chaotic region....just as they've done in the last decade or so in Brazil/parts of South America.
I wonder how they will fair now?
As far as water issues go....look no further than from Egypt upstream through the Nile systems.
Uganda buying SU27 Flankers? Sounded silly......maybe not so silly in the future if Egypt tries to act like the Big Swinging Richard of the region to project power upstream.
