[Ukraine / Russia] - The Starving Self Targets the Food Body of the Other, Proving the Illusion of Separate Survival

Event Baseline: Russian forces have shifted to targeting shopping centers and food distribution sites in Ukraine, causing shortages in Kyiv and other cities as markets struggle to keep shelves stocked.

The warring self has moved from killing combatants to strangling the civilian body. Targeting food is not a military strategy; it is a psychological operation to break the will of the other. This is the ultimate expression of tribal logic: if your population cannot eat, their resistance will dissolve. The Russian self sees the Ukrainian as an extension of the land, not as a human needing sustenance. The illusion of separate survival means one side believes it can live only if the other dies of hunger. This is not war; it is famine as a weapon, the oldest and most brutal operating system error. The self that bombs a supermarket has lost all connection to shared bodily reality—it forgets that the same hunger exists in its own soldiers, in its own people. As long as the identity remains trapped in national flags, the harvest of another's crops will be burned to assert dominance. The collapse of this logic is inevitable: a world that weaponizes food will eventually starve itself, because the division is an illusion and the body is one.
