Cherry Tomatoes, Potatoes, and Onions prepared by Anthony Hamid Khan

"As mentioned above: onions originally come from the Middle East. In all likelihood, this consisted of the area from Iran to West Pakistan and a part of southern Russia." 🧅

Wikipedia: The potato was first domesticated in southern Peru and northwestern Bolivia by pre-Columbian farmers, around Lake Titicaca. 🥔

Rachel Ringler: In fact the original cherry tomato, about the size of a pea, was wild and found in Peru, Ecuador and northern Chile. Those tiny wild tomatoes were then domesticated in Mexico more than 1,300 years ago and then brought to the old world via the conquering Spaniards. 🍅

Sergey Karaganov: Western European capitals will be among the first targets of our retaliation. The public over there must understand that their elites are preparing to sacrifice them, and nuclear weapons will not discriminate between soldiers and civilians.

Timofey Bordachev: A regional war – between India and Pakistan, Iran and Israel, or others – would be a tragedy. Millions could die. But the catastrophe would be geographically limited. These are not world-ending scenarios. In fact, compared to the real nightmare – a direct nuclear conflict between Russia and the US – this multipolar nuclear world may be the lesser evil.
