India this morning has banned all wheat exports for 2022. India is a large producer of wheat but not a large exporter of wheat, according to this article with the war in Ukraine and the global price of wheat exploding, India was looking to export a large amount of wheat to capitalize on the price increase, all that stopped today. I don't want to read too much into this issue, if you look at Sri Lanka, they are in near civil war over food security, we don't have baby formula, it will be interesting to what happens on the summer in Africa and South and Central America as food prices continue to rise and food becomes less available.

Every country in the world puts themselves first except the United States.

Well, no. Every country except the United States, Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

“ This is the first time in the history of Homo Sapiens where governments declared war on their own people and civilization.”

No, it’s not. It’s just the first time it’s happened to us.

Agree! Western civilization is on a self-induced path to destruction.

I couldn’t agree more.

This altruism may eventually be our undoing, I’m afraid. May God prevent it!
