EVERY country has the right, nay, the duty, to feed their own people first.

Given a similar situation in PRC (Politically Repressive Canada), I doubt that Prime Mistake True-dolt would ensure Canadians were fed. He would ensure that his ‘chosen people’ (ie: Quebecois) were well fed, but non-Laurentianists? Too bad, so sad!

The demonrats in the District of Corruption, like the ‘dippers and Lieberals in d’Ottawa, should STFU and get out of the way, and let PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, do the job!

LET’S GO BRANDON!
LET’S GO TRUE-DOLT!

The criminals in D.C. would happily burn Americans in furnaces to keep themselves warm.

"I bet India is feeling secure with all thos Russian tanks that have been proven to be junk along with all those MiGs."

Guided, man-portable missiles have ended the age of the tank. I wonder who will teach us a similar lesson in regards to our carriers in the age of satellites and missiles?

A wise move. Protection from wealthy predatory nations including the USA is a good idea. India First for Indians.

No, the corn raised for fuel isn't edible.

You are however pointing to the real problem which is: we're using land that should be used to grow food, to grow "fuel".

That's the problem right there.

It’s a matter of taste and cooking skills but field corn is quite edible. But most will go directly to silage and some to alcohol conversion where the leftovers go to supplement the silage and other ingredients. That helps to produce high quality milk at dairies or choice to prime meats at various finishing lots. It’s all good food!

Why do we seldom hear from environmentalists about the pesticides and fertilizers flowing from the farmer’s fields to the Mississippi river down into the Gulf of Mexico. There is a dead zone. Sorry not sure how to post a link on FR, but a search reveals many sources.

The byproducts of ethanol fermentation is distillers dried grains with soluble aka DDGS this is top quality cattle feed or goats or sheep. Which can also be used as a protein source for hogs. The stalks from corn makes for good silage if wet bailed in the field and inoculated. Lots of times cows are just turned loose in a freshly harvested corn field they will eat all the leaves and stalls plus any grains lost to the ground. Contrary to the internet corn for ethanol is not an either or issue. Wet milled number two dent is where corn cooking oil comes from. DDGS is cattle feed par excellence cows need the protein not carbohydrates. Field silage is also quality cattle feed that stores for months while it ferments. Human use of dent #2 is limited to corn meals, corn flakes, or corn masa. The market for those products is tiny compared to the cattle feed market.

Yes, correct on all counts. I've hauled thousands of tons of all you listed except masa but have been near some huge plants of that product.

"Largest submarines ever built. "

That distinction didn't survive the arrival of the nuclear missile submarines. Soviet "Typhoon" class pigboats were 175 feet longer with eight times (8x) the submerged displacement.

Thanks.

I knew I should have given more thought and done a search.
