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.”

It has nothing to do with Wuhan.

What I'm wondering is if the next engineered "virus", coming from a biolab similar to the Wuhan biolab, will be an engineered corn blight that devastates the world crop. Corn is a staple in North America more so than elsewhere in the world, so it would be a horrible weapon primarily targeting the USA. Something the CCP would rub their hands with glee to witness.

I don’t think you are beginning to comprehend what a potential shit show this is. When there are half a billion hungry people with nukes, a “blight” is going to be a little nuanced.

While the CCP would certainly let half of them die, the rest are required to keep their empire going.

All 235 million will end up in the United States. Ugh. Biden as president assures this.

And they have been shipping pigs across the pacific to rebuild their herd.

Pork fried rice is not on a lot of menus for the next year.

Using nukes would get them condemned by the rest of the world, and ruin their intended new land with radiation for decades. With a bio-weapon, they have plausible deniability like with Covid-19, and it will go away much sooner than radiation.

Sure, their country has food production problems, but if what you say is true, that they have a multi-year supply of grain, they’ll weather it. Why do they have such a large stockpile? Part of their plan to gain dominion over the world? Probably. While they’re weathering their own problems, and after their daily hate-the-USA sessions from their CCP leaders, they’ll get solace by bringing North America down to their level. I say they’ll attempt that with weaponized blight or something that will ruin our own food supply, not nukes.

Nukes would be very dangerous for them to use. 95% of the worlds nukes are owned by us and Russia. If they shoot off theirs, besides getting flattened, they are then surrounded by India’s arsenal which is close to theirs, Pakistan’s, and Israel’s. And Japan could produce them in large numbers with Lexus quality in a matter of weeks. Same for South Korea.

“We need Trump more than ever.

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

Some already are.

I have no problem with a world government - as long as it is run according to the US Constitution as written.

The government won’t mandate vaccines.

They’ll merely lean on grocery stores, airlines, clothing stores, etc. to require proof of vaccination for entry.

Even if they build storage for 3-5 years of grains, where are they going to get 3-5 years of grains to fill them?

That’s kind of my point. They need to fill them. They are buying every soybean they can get. Mostly from South America.

China was hit with severe floods in the south, droughts in the north, and a stream of typhoons hitting the northeast all summer. Their summer. Rips sucked. Their autumn harvest was just as bad.

They grow enough rice. But wheat and other grains are horrible.

They need to buy a lot. And fast.

And, they want to be able to sweep into Africa with food should the need arise. They don’t go into places militarily, until they are invited after showing up with food.
