I guess the fact that the West won’t let Russia export their wheat isn’t a factor here...
Wasn’t that Churchill who said that?
Wow, I hope people see through this crap. Ukraine is not the bread basket of the world. Food is everywhere. And if the US wanted to make more food there would be more food. We waste about as much food as we eat.

I don't remember it being Churchill and the guy I read got way more colorful with description of 'the workings of the moslem mind' than Churchill. He did use the same phrase though. Not sure who was first with it.
It is not a matter of manufacturing food, it is in disrupting the supply chains so thoroughly that there are no viable alternatives.
What Putin is doing is much like the dog lying on the hay in the manger and snarling at the horses so they cannot eat, yet the hay has no food value for the dog at all.
Does the WAPO say what the solution is? Because if the answer is war (between the US and Russia), pretty sure that will make things a lot, lot worse.
Cue the violins.
I miss him.
WaPo is proficient at publishing worthless opinions.
Well when war also is where the food is, thats a real problem.
When I crossed from Israel into Jordan...the difference was remarkable. Trash EVERYWHERE.

lolz, Sam is the first person who came to mind on this...
We’re in the same predicament. Dependent on China for essential goods like pharmaceuticals, PPE, etc. True, if we had the political wiil, we could manufacture these things ourselves, but the current regime does not, and it would take time to gear up.
But at least we can feed ourselves if we’re not too picky. It’s going to cost us more now, though, already is.
This is what happens when childish, incompetent, and bad people run the country.
BUNK! Can’t you guys ever get it right. USA THE EMPIRE OF LIES
No he’s not.
Putin might be deranged, but he’s not starving people around the world. The real evil lies at the UN/WEF/CFR/EU.
Paging Sam Kinison.
Blame Biden, and Putin is just one of the followup dominoes.
If Biden hadn’t pushed the first domino, meaning the closing of the oil pipeline and had not stopped the drilling for new oil, then, the dominoes that came after would not have been toppled.
Biden is responsible for everything that has gone wrong in the U.S., and by extension, most of the current world problems.
No, you Washington Post dumbasses.
