Samantha Power, administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, said the costs of the war in Ukraine include global food and fertilizer shortages, impacting prices for consumers and farmers around the world.

"It is just another catastrophic effect of Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine," Power told ABC "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos on Sunday.

Food prices have risen 34% compared to this time last year, Power said, "aided substantially, again, by this invasion."

On Thursday, President Joe Biden asked Congress to consider supplying Ukraine with an additional $33 billion aid package, with $3 billion allocated for humanitarian assistance and food security funding.

Last week it was estimated that Ukraine was going to lose 20% of their crop. How does that translate into a global crisis?

I don't think Zelenskyy gives TWO F***S about Ukraine. He's an ACTOR and he's ACTING. What he REALLY is, is part of the global CABAL working overtime towards the GREAT GLOBAL RESET which includes making life for free people AS MISERABLE AS POSSIBLE.

Pelosi's visit with Zelenskyy is ALL I NEEDED TO HEAR to arrive at this conclusion. She's the BAG LADY for issuing and cashing checks for CORRUPTION that follows the script.

She is one scary woman. You think she’s flushed out but she keeps floating back up. She’s 100% wrong about everything.

Yup, how does crop performance of on relatively small country impact the planet. As for fertilizer, we can make more of our own if we had the natural gas supply available required to produce nitrogen fertilizer.

I wonder if someone can report on what Bill Gates is doing with his massive amount of farmland. I’m thinking nothing but crickets. I mean really, for us to eat.

And why are we not hearing about investigations into these food plant attacks? I’m thinking Antifa and BLM putting their talents to use for the dems.

Well, that, and maybe

California democrates cutting off water from the ranchers and farmers of one of the largest , fertile and most productive agriculture valleys , the San Joaquin , on the planet.

Restricting u.s. rail shipping quantity for grain and fertilizer .

Bus loads of food production and processing plants going up in flames, all in a sudden.

Diesel fuel so expensive a bunch of farmers can’t afford to even plant their usual amount of crop acres.
