Cindy McCain: Ukraine war ‘forcing us to take from the hungry to feed the starving’
The Hill ^ | 4/11/22

As Russia’s invasion hits Ukraine’s production of wheat, corn and other major exports, Cindy McCain, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture, warned on Monday that millions in the Middle East and Africa could soon be on the brink of famine.

“Putin’s war is forcing us to take from the hungry to feed the starving,” McCain said Monday on C-SPAN. “Rising prices force hard decisions to cut rations in some of the most desperate humanitarian crises in the world, including Afghanistan and Yemen.”

The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization estimates as many as 13 million people worldwide could experience food insecurity as a result of the February invasion. More than 50 countries depend on Russia and Ukraine to produce about 30 percent of their wheat supply.

So Cindy is worried about the people in Afghanistan and Yemen, who are starving because of “Putin’s war”?

What about the people in this country who are starving because of Biden’s war on the American taxpayer?

I know that economic dependency on omse items is unavoidable for certain countries, but this really highlights the potential vulnerabilities of becoming overly dependent upon a small group of nations for essentials.

So to take food from the hungry to deed the starving will double the number of starving because there won’t be enough food to feed both.

Let’s get it STRAIGHT! It’s the PRCs and their 100% lockdowns which are causing the pricing problems here. But note that the PEDO in the WH woun’t even tell US manufacturers to start building here. Won’t utter Drill Baby Drill!

These are the PEDO and the PRCs (who he works with in unison) problems.

Not the Ruskies and not the Ukes!

Cindy should dig behind her daughter’s couch cushions. She would find enough Cheese Doodles and Butterscotch Krimpets to put together a nice care package.

UN/US will continue to purchase food for famine relief.

There will be no reduction in demand other than price pressure.

Meat, eggs and dairy will skyrocket as input costs soar.

It’s the western middle class that will pay the entire friggin’ bill...reflected in much higher prices.

Beans and biscuits are good food. Get used to it.

... Cindy McCain ... warned ... that millions in the Middle East and Africa could soon be on the brink of famine.

"Putin’s war is forcing us to take from the hungry to feed the starving," McCain said Monday on C-SPAN. "Rising prices force hard decisions to cut rations in some of the most desperate humanitarian crises in the world ..."

Cindy McCain, you are absolutely right that senile Sleepy Joe is the "President" of the United States. (As you can tell, that's a translation of Cindy's "RINO-speak" into standard English so non-RINOs can understand what she actually said.)

Well, Cindy, you (and your fellow RINOs such as Romney and your Democrat pals) did absolutely everything you could to carry senile Sleepy Joe into the Oval Office via your stolen election. Well done!

Ironically, in 1989, Hollyweird foresaw senile Sleepy Joe's "Presidency" in its weirdly prophetic comedy movie titled, "Weekend at Bernie's."

In addition to The Wall, we’re re going to need a more robust Coast Guard and soldiers at every little airport around the nation.

Also, as for Afghans and Yemenis, no food unless they lay down their arms and convert to a more sociable religion.

She’s familiar with robbing Peter to pay Paul, the drug supplier.
