India produces a lot of wheat, but they have a billion people to feed. They don’t really export all that much. It’s not an insignificant amount, but if they don’t export, it won’t be the end of the world.

Huge population and they struggle with feeding everyone under even normal circumstances. I have no problem with this as a short term precaution.

How about if we stop ethanol subsidies??

That might be worthwhile.

America used to be able to keep its schizophrenia within the family. Now, the whole world has to see it.

“America’s vassal states across the Global South”

Vassal states? We do not have any vassal states across the global south.

But dross like this is a good reminder that India’s foreign policy interests are generally orthogonal to ours. India still views Russia as a potential counterweight to China.

Yesterday we read that Pakistan is near bankrupt. How long before they spoil for a confrontation with India?

This is the way globalism will work. Countries who produce will be forced to give to those who don’t or can’t produce.

Equality

We’ll all be equally mediocre at best.

This shows the Zubu brothers for what they are: anti-U.S.A. zealots.

As long as the United States of America withholds exporting food to the rest of the world so our own people don’t go hungry.

Taking care of their own.

What's with people who *don't* do that?

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!

India Has Every Right To Restrict Wheat Exports To Ensure Domestic Food Security

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