The atrocities of world history are taking form again, in some of the exact same regions of the world. From 1932-1933, Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union committed mass genocide in Ukraine by starving the population and imprisoning and killing dissenters. The Ukrainian famine of 1932-1933 was known as the Holodomor, which means to “inflict death” through “starvation.” Approximately 13.9 million people were starved to death during that time.
At the time, Stalin captured individually-owned and operated farms and replaced them with state-run collectives. Farmers who resisted were labeled “kulaks” and marked as “enemies of the state.” When the Soviets failed to maintain their target harvest, Stalin ordered the grain to be confiscated. The Soviets deployed secret police and internal passports to crack down on Ukrainians who were hoarding food or trying to escape.
Today, the war in Ukraine threatens crops and commodities that many parts of the world depend on. With the addition of further economic, banking and energy sanctions, much of the developed world is on pace to experience food shortages that they’ve never seen before — a man-made, modern day Holodomor.
In Ukraine today, farms are being overrun, crops are not being planted, families are fleeing across the border, and men are being conscripted to fight off the Russian invasion. The breadbasket of the world is being ransacked once again.

The Globalists are responsible, and ultimately the rest of us for permitting.
Ping.
What’s the problem?
Invest your life savings and everything you can borrow into grain futures.
What could go wrong?
I guess all you city people are screwed.
Since most the world’s cities vote and
support Democrats and tyrants.
No great loss.
Holodomor happened because Commies( Democrats)
disarmed the Ukrainians and they could not
oppose the city people that came out
and took all their food.
Armed country boy will survive.
Aloha.
Well not all of us took the death shots, so...
The Soviet state-sponsored famine in the Ukraine was not a "supply" issue. This is "op-ed" hysteria. The regime of Stalin punished harshly even those peasants who dared glean a field already picked bare. That situation is not being replicated.
Caution against hyperbole is warranted. So ti seems to me.
Read much on the Holomodor to see why what is going on now is not that.
The 13.9 million mentioned in the article is probably meant to be 3.9 million. Don’t wanna sound nit picky about such a terrible event, but I have read estimates mentioning 3.9 but never 13.9
Americans can out produce food more than anyone in the world.
Back during the Depression, there was still so much food steak was the cheapest thing to buy.
Problem was many had no jobs to buy that food, so the US Government decided to create a food shortage to get the price of steak and other meat up.
They bought up tens of thousands of cattle, hogs and other commodities, shot and buried them, dumped the milk.
And refused to give any of it to the poor without jobs.
This link is for Nebraska but it was happening all over the US.

Ten years later, those same Government men were begging farmers and ranchers to increase their meat production for the war effort.
2nd amendment ping.
A beef and milk shortage is being concocted by preventing grain shipments to the farms with cattle and cows. How? Driving up diesel prices so high that the train operators can't afford to deliver the grain to the customers. Diesel prices are also hitting truck drivers. It's nearly too expensive for fuel to drive the loads.
The farmers can't afford fertilizer due to the war in Ukraine. They are also hit by high diesel costs and problems getting water. Biden owns most of the blame for what is going on. Some of the water shortage is due to intentional draining of dams into the ocean by leftist hack pretending to care about some obscure fish. The real intent is to beggar the farmers who will have to sell their land. Blackrock and Bill Gates will happily buy their unproductive land and the government will collect a tidy tax on the transaction.
The Ukraine is not the breadbasket of the world, the US is.
Most of the US is overweight from too much carb and calorie consumption so cutting back isn’t going to be uncomfortable but possibly better for most.
One thing I am sure of is that Gen-Z is going to bitterly regret their Biden votes before this shit-storm is over.

Then why haven’t they? Don’t be so sure, we are entering a huge drought, check the drought maps and projected crop losses this year.

I'm surprised to hear that. I do exactly the same.
However, I bought ahead and have seven months of dry dog food in air conditioned storage.
This is the 2nd item that I've heard is being limited. The other was baby formula.
Invest all you’ve got in grain futures. Might work, although you’re not the first to think of it.
For some reason, this reminds me of the James Dean character in East of Eden who got rich investing borrowed money on a bean farm during the war.
The developed countries (members of OECD, G20 or OPEC+) will experience high food prices.
The underdeveloped countries will not be able to afford food, and those that do not produce enough will experience famine.
Thanks to Klaus Schawb and his WEF buddies.
