This is literally a civilization trade offer
"I offer: 2 meat. You give me: space-age technology I don't know yet."
- Just don't try to add a fucking embassy to the deal. Never happening
  
  You have insulted me and my people with this offer 😡 (unless you add 3 gold/turn)
Ok that's kinda hilarious
- Bartering is back on the menu bois
Meh, 3/10 sanctions avoidance payment
Doesn't even come close to the 15/10 Russia war fleet to Pepsi "payment"
- Are you referencing something or is this satire?
  
  BBC news article
  
  In the 90s Pepsi had a contest with prizes and as a joke they advertised that they were gonna give a winner a real jet fighter
Gross 🤢🤢🤢
- Why is it gross?
  
  Why is it gross?
  I guess because beef spoils easily, and many of us don't find the bribe givers and takers in our lives to be the most conscientious people we know.
  There's a good chance it's fine for everyone involved, but also a good chance that it's not.
Yay corrupt beef
Similar to when yugoslavia bought some jets or something from the US and paid using hams and tools
