Biden about to get caught flat-footed on another crisis: Ukraine war–generated global food shortages
American Thinker ^ | 14 Mar, 2022 | Monica Showalter

So who has confidence in Joe Biden's ability to navigate the coming grain shortages as a result of Russia's Ukraine attack?

Anybody want to take bets that Joe Biden will know what to do when the next crisis hits? His presidency is one crisis after another, and his record, well...

The next crisis is bound to be a doozy.

Based on Russia's horrible war against Ukraine, grain and fertilizer prices are skyrocketing, and shortages are on the way. Ukraine's and Russia's customers already are hoarding supplies. Based on the little-discussed stories out there, this crisis is bound to be felt in all countries and looks certain to happen. Joe is nowhere to be found on this, as we shall shortly see.

With its rich black soil, Ukraine's always been known as the breadbasket of Europe. The story is obvious enough in this land rendition of the Ukraine flag.

Ukraine and Russia are huge exporters of grain and fertilizer, accounting for about 30% of world exports.

And China being allowed to buy up our farmland. We are in such trouble.

We had an expert in deal making and negotiation driving the bus but the Rat/RINO uniparty of treason insisted INSISTED we replace him with a potato and to make sure the potato wasn’t removed they backed him up with a laughing hyena

Considering what we pay in farm subsidies this shouldn’t be possible

(global food shortages)

Hey, perfect for a Great Reset and a New World Order! /Shiny side out

All they need now is Satan’s anti-messiah and a 7-year plan dividing Israel for ‘Peace and Security’.

Daniel 8:25
King James Version

25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%208%3A25&version=KJV

“and by peace shall destroy many”

Who would you rather hang out with, if you had to make a choice? The AZOV people, or the Muslims that the Russians are importing to fight for them?

It doesn’t matter if we have available fallow farmland, if there’s no fertilizer.

Also, the outfits that produce the seeds need some lead time to expand supply.

Come fall, expect the current flood of illegals at the southern border to turn into a tsunami.

Just read “Atlas Shrugged”. Biden will give away our wheat and food to foreign countries who will in turn, refuse to help us in our hour need.

He’s not flat footed. This was all by design. Control the food, control the people.

I’ve seen various numbers for AZOV brigade size from 900 to 2,500. Since the AZOV’s readily identify themselves with patches and such, why aren’t JUST the AZOV’s targeted if that’s the righteous reason the Putinistas are convinced the invasion is about? 1,000 to 2,000 neo-nazi’s isn’t a whole lot when the population of Ukraine was in the millions. Not to mention they WERE in one place before. Should’ve been pretty easy to “liberate” the country from 1,000-2,000 neo-nazi’s in one area. But for some reason Russia invaded the whole country, targeting civilians. My guess is that you’ll say that:
1. It’s the Ukrainians killing their own people
2. There are AZOV’s in every closet of every building in Ukraine
3. All Ukrainians are nazi’s
Finally, why must the Kremlin keep an iron fist on its people and press, not allowing terms like “war” or “invasion” to be used, if the goals of Putin are altruistic and righteous?

This sweaty, slobbering, sexualized, gobbling up of one singular conspiracy idea (a la Alex Jones) on the Right, by so-called “conservatives” is absolutely mind-boggling and makes me question the intelligence of the conservative movement in regards to the founding principles.

What do you think? Is China going to carry the farmland away?

So, you are NOT against American “contractors” (wink wink) training literal Nazis. Good to know where you stand.

Here’s the next crisis that is upcoming and not a thing is being done to prepare - 2022-2023 home heating season. Natural gas, Home oil, and LP will be double - people simply will not be able to heat their homes and the Midwest ag uses a lot of LP.

Their answer - well it sure ain’t increasing production. It’s Home energy heating allowances, another government tax giveaway that makes the economy worse.

That posted picture looks like a great place for a wind and solar project.

They will ship all of the farm products back to China or use it to gain control in the USA.

Who exactly is that person? You say it’s an American contractor. Anymore pics of his full face? A positive ID of him? Or do you just ASSUME it’s an “American contractor” wink wink.

I zoomed in on the pic and couldn’t find any other supposed “nazi patches”.

So, like I surmised, you believe all Ukrainians are Nazis, like Putin says.
