Samantha Power, Joe Biden’s administrator of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), on Sunday said countries outside of Ukraine are feeling “huge cascading effects” of Putin’s war through “spiraling food prices.”
Power celebrated fertilizer shortages during an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
These people don’t even hide it anymore. They just say the quiet part out loud now.
“Fertilizer shortages are real now because Russia is a big exporter of fertilizer and even though fertilizer is not sanctioned, less fertilizer is coming out of Russia. As a result, we are working with countries to think about natural solutions like manure and compost – and this may hasten transitions that would be in the interest for farmers to make anyway,” Power said.

If you can find the ingredients, this cookbook might also help

Just like less electricity, less food, weaker healthcare, poorer water supplies ….
It looks like we’re going to have lower standards of living and be proud of it!
Although the cultures that followed Rome and Byzantium, and a few other places in Asia tried to imitate them, it took them almost a thousand years to get back. I assume it won’t take us as long, but WELCOME TO THE 50’s!!!
Callous and stupid are no way to go through life. This fool actually is a high official in the Biden Administration. Is she so callous to be indifferent to the real starvation that will occur from the fertilizer shortages? Is she so stupid not to understand that the lunatic green assault on fossil fuels has made natural gas, the core ingredient of fertilizer scarce and expensive and has drastically increased the cost of diesel fuel? Both are critical for productive farming.
She is clueless, I guess she wants reduced yields, which is exactly what you will get, probably enough to feed this country but none to export to say Africa.
V6 or V18 corn absorbs about 8 pounds of nitrogen per acre per day according to the Farmers Business Network. Animal blood contains hemoglobin which exchanges CO2 for O2 but can’t absorb any of the 78% of the atmosphere that is N2. The only source of animal nitrogen is from eating plants that must be fertilized.
If the Biden gang wanted to save lives here they wouldn't have opened the border for fentanyl smugglers.
Except we’re not a bunch of poorly armed kossocks waiting for the local commissar to seize our seed corn.
And paid mercenaries are known to bolt when the odds turn against their masters.
What is in the Russian fertilizer that is not already ‘natural solution’?
Some ‘manure’ has been considered ‘bad’ because it contains natural phosphorus that, after spread on crops, can run off during rain and ‘contaminate’ rivers and streams.
For every ‘natural solution’ government can definitely find a way to restrict and regulate it.
Could be. What I know our manure is “ organically” spread by the cows themselves in the pastures that we would plant next year( or the year after) when we rotate the crops.
We do clean out the stables occasionally and let it “ sweeten” until the compost is ready to spread on our vegetable garden.
But replace fertilizer? No way.
Lurch/Lerch is an example of someone who drank the kool-aid early, Swiftboated his comrades in Vietnam, changed his name to an Irish one for the Boston street cred, married a rich woman and floated on government and private jets to de-industrialize the planet for our own good. He’s truly a product of a system that rewards shysters and frauds.
Create the crisis, offer a ridiculous, expensive, and coercive “solution”.
Neither. She is malevolent.
She doesn’t know the faintest thing about farming. She’s just mouthing off keywords today’s agricultural Luddites spoon feed her. She’s a leftist and a professional government Democrat bureaucrat.
So many skanks within the Left its not even remotely funny.
Right now Bidens super secret plan is that he’s forging a gauntlet with all the infinity stones.
His plan to solve the food shortages. Energy shortages, everything can be solved as simply as a snap of his fingers.
Samantha Power and her husband Cass Sunstein are hardcore communists. Devoted fellow travelers.
Just to make her feel better, she and the rest of her fellow traitors should hang from “all-natural” hemp ropes.
Looks like a government out of control that only the military could fix but they managed to take care of that too
I think Samantha wants HUMAN WASTE put on our crops!!! SICK and DANGEROUS PEOPLE!
She is sooo hot. /s
