UN: "2021 is literally going to be catastrophic"
https://www.reuters.com ^ | DECEMBER 4, 2020 | Axios

Posted on 12/05/2020 11:32:36 AM PST by RomanSoldier19

Next year is "going to be catastrophic" in terms of worldwide humanitarian crises, World Food Program executive director David Beasley warned on Friday, per Reuters.

Driving the news: The stark outlook comes as many countries contend with not only the coronavirus pandemic, but also possible famine, economic instability, conflict and other humanitarian crises. A record 235 million people will need humanitarian assistance and protection next year, a nearly 40% increase from 2020, the UN projected earlier this week

On Wednesday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged nations to take greater action on climate change to end the "war on nature," saying "the state of the planet is broken." What he's saying: “2021 is literally going to be catastrophic based on what we’re seeing at this stage of the game,” Beasley told a special meeting covering COVID-19, per Reuters.

The WFP chief also said that famine is "knocking on the door" of dozens of countries. 2021 is likely to be “the worst humanitarian crisis year since the beginning of the United Nations," Beasley added. "We’re not going to be able to fund everything ... so we have to prioritize, as I say, the icebergs in front of the Titanic.”

There’s one way to fix the crisis...

Boatloads of bucks from Uncle Sugar.

“You can hear the giddiness in their press release.”

Because they know the U.S. under Harris/biden will be shoveling our money to the unfortunate “developing countries”.

Selecting BiXiden and the Kamel is NOT going to help 2021 AT ALL.

Let them do the Great Reset on the Third World and see how they like it.
...................................................
Such disasters could easily be prevented by adoption of American-style Capitalism worldwide. Of course that cannot happen because the “Great Reset” tyrants would then be exposed as the anti-American criminals that they most surely are!

We need Trump more than ever.

By 2024, they’ll be clamoring for him to be president of the entire world.

So how will the UN respond?
...............................
They will respond with the so-called “Great Reset” plan that has one and only one goal which is the destruction of American capitalism and the complete control of America’s vast wealth!

We’ll be in the middle of CW-II in the states, so can’t help you, United Numbskulls.

Do it yourselves.a

War is way more expensive than paying for your stuff, and destroy’s the infrastructure you’er trying to exploit.
They might be able to buy politicians, but how can they trust the faithless bastards?

The Chinese have been building storage units that will hold 3-5 years worth of grains.
They know “something” is headed our way.

A wheat grain or corn blight from Wuhan? Corn blight would put the focus on the US.

The “Great Reset” is Pol Pot’s Year Zero gone worldwide, under a different name.

It has nothing to do with Wuhan.

They have had a horribly rainy growing season. There has been almost constant flooding across much of China this year. Their crops failed.

The African Swine flu was ravaging their herd before Covid.

This was all coming WITHOUT/BEFORE Covid.

We could have avoided much of it by letting people work. But no. We had to lock most of the productive people down.

Now comes the incredible suffering. Words fail to describe how evil this is.

The chicoms own smithfield foods. Luckily, they mainly do contract farming and don’t own all of the farmland.
