Many of the poor will be allowed to unceremoniously expire.
Intentional or not herd culling will be one negative consequence of the Ukraine conflict as manufactured and conducted by the West since at least 2014. There are no positives. The price of fertilizer is sky high; some crops will not be planted while warnings of famine are handed out instead. This amounts to another transfer of wealth and power consolidation further into the hands of the Western Globalist Financial Empire - criminally psychopathic in nature - as they lord over the mostly clueless populations in Western countries and anyone else outside the West they can impose on.
Anyone believing the West’s motivations are some combination of noble moral and ethical principles, is a serious victim of hypocritical double standards promoting and imposing supremacist rights at the expense of anything and anyone else that gets in their way.
As it was in Smedley Butlers day and titled in his book that might be considered his greatest epiphany after a career in the military, ‘War Is A Racket’ today that, intentional or not, appears to be playing into and setting us up for the Great (fake) Reset which is Globalist code for NWO Globalist Fascist Surveillance Police State.
