This is classic misdirection, intended to keep Americans from noticing the administration’s horrible failures here at home.
We’ve all seen it: A return to the empty shelves that plagued the first half of 2020, as the lockdowns sent people into a buying panic. The supply chain sort of adjusted to that but it’s happening again and this time there may not be an adjustment. Apparently, the Biden administration thinks things will get worse, not better, because it sent out a Pentagon spokesman to blame Putin preemptively for the coming food shortage.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why we’re starting to see food shortages across America. The last two years have shown that it takes decades to build up a food supply chain that serves a country of 330 million and two years to break it. How was it broken? Let me count the ways (and I’m sure many of you will be able to add to the list):
-Have the executive branch unilaterally implement policies creating fuel shortages, especially diesel shortages, making fuel impossible to obtain or insanely expensive.
-Use lockdowns to enrich massive chain stores while destroying community mom-and-pop stores—the kind people could walk to if they didn’t have fuel for their cars.
-Use vaccine mandates to shut down shipping, trucking and, most recently, air traffic.
-Use endless handouts of free money to disincentivize seeking employment in the less well-paying sectors of food production and distribution.
-Hand responsibility for our transportation sector to an utterly incompetent man solely because he’s gay.
-Encourage an endless war in the Russia-Ukraine region, which deprives American farmers of fertilizer.
-Do nothing to stop the sale of American farmland and processing plants to Chinese companies tied to the communist party.

There have been UN warnings for a long time and nothing has been done...meaning it was planned or just being allowed to happen.
“Biden preemptively blames a coming food shortage on Putin”
Is Biden REALLY saying that the United States needs Russia to feed its own people? Sounds like it.
Dumbass. First you have the shortage, then you cast the blame.
Remember....... Biden is from Delaware.
Being a trivial state, they have a trivial Senator
After the money Biden’s family made in Ukraine, America should be recused from the war with Putin.
I now include the Post Constitutional United States in my list of Communist countries and Communist countries are never able to feed themselves.
Yes, that includes China before they moved toward a semi-capitalist, semi-communist system.
There is always a drought or some other ‘out of our control’ disaster to destroy the wheat crop. Always!
Putin [doffing his top hat and twirling his moustache]: “Henh, henh, henh...”
The “shortages” are as much due to an intensive rupturing and snarling of the supply chains, as to any inability to grow the produce on farms and process it in food manufacturing facilities.
“For want of a nail, a kingdom was lost”
Soon to be announced: Putin is really Loki, the Norse god of mischief, and he is responsible for all of Biden’s woes.
The usurper always has a story to cover up his destruction of America.
I seem to remember having problems getting certain food products around Thanksgiving. It isn’t a “coming” food shortage, it is a worsening food shortage.
Where are all the illegal aliens who have come here for free handouts going to go to be fed, maybe Mayorkas will fee them in DC.
And flat tires are caused by nail manufacturers.
I thought Biden claimed he could beat Putin. But so far, Putin seems to be beating us at the gas pump, and soon at the grocery store.
