So that’s what they’re calling money laundering now?

Lots of bread made in Ukraine for people like Hunter Biden.
The best of the best bread to be made

It is Winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Last year’s crop is in, next year’s hasn’t been planted yet. This is blatant propaganda.

I take it you've never seen a grain elevator in action. In a major grain-producing region they operate all year long. August is a busy month as they process the last of the previous year's crop in preparation for the next harvest.

Title: "Breadbasket Of World" Choked Off By Russian Invasion As Wheat Prices Soar

First line of article

Ukraine has earned the nickname "breadbasket of Europe" for its rich dark soil, vast wheat fields, and other farm goods.

Immediately, the press lies

I believe the United States is the Breadbasket of the World.

I think many folks raise prices just because they can raise prices and get away with it. Retail gasoline prices fluctuate daily, so why not bread or for that matter everything else?

Huge costs now, that turns to shortages and unavailability then hunger in geographic areas…. Throw in hostile weather and storms, famine. Stay tuned. Unintended consequences, just like the financial sanctions, SWIFT etc… USD dethroned. Thanks Joe.

Perhaps this is another reason Putin wants Ukraine back?

An army runs on it’s stomach.

I’ll believe it’s an issue when the U.S. gubment quits paying farmers to avoid growing crops.

Yep.
The alarm bells have been ringing on this crisis for at least two years.

Shameful that some people snooze through it.
