A plan proposed by U.S. President Joe Biden to see grain exported from Ukraine has received scrutiny from Poland, which has raised the alarm.
Poland has pointed out a number of problems with a plan presented by U.S. President Joe Biden to finally enable grain to be exported out of Ukraine, in peacetime a major exporter of agricultural products.
With tens of millions of tons currently stuck in the country as a result of an ongoing Russian blockade of the Black Sea, President Biden has suggested building a host of silos on the Ukrainian-Polish border to help move the globally relied upon grain out of the war-torn nation by rail.
However, Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister, Henryk Kowalczyk, has poked holes in the plan, saying that — while he thinks it is “remarkably interesting” — the scheme is lacking in detail, and would likely take months to complete.
“…for the time being it is a preliminary declaration which requires many detailed solutions to be worked out,” Kowalczyk said in a post uploaded online.
“At the same time, it should be noted that this type of investment will take approximately three to four months to complete,” he continued, having also said that Poland is only capable of taking 1.5 million tonnes of grain per month, when the ability to shift 5 million tonnes per month is required by Ukraine.

The Joe Biden grain export plan echoes a similar scheme put forward by the European Union, which aimed to outfox apparent Russian efforts to block Ukrainian crops from leaving the country by exporting produce over the invaded state’s land borders.

Politicians in the USA believe that they can make a ruling and thus it shall be done. The details of how something can be done or even if it is possible, is of no interest to politicians, especially Democrats. In the USA, agencies such as the EPA, can come after a person if they do not accomplish some of their pie-in-the-sky regulations.
I think that Democrats must think others are completely bereft of ideas and would just sit around, twiddling their thumbs, without their sage guidance.
On the home front, demented Joe tries to lecture the oil industry on what they should be doing to recover from his gross misgovernance.
Not much of a detail man, is our Joe. Never has been.
I recently read about a guy with a tunneling machine digging under Vegas. Why not just dig a few tunnels? One way going in with empty trucks and one going out.
Or hire Mexicans to jump the border back and forth. They have good experience doing that.
The rats and mice that are already chowing down on the storage just add extra protein and weight.
