Control food and you control people. Communists are willing to let *millions* starve to death in order to put themselves in control of those who survive. The history of communism is full of engineered famines.
I admire the pluck of the European farmers, but the EU governments have the guns. Sooner or later they’re going to get tired of these protests and start shooting. It’s what they always do.
The French, Dutch, German, Belgian, and Irish farmers are largely unarmed. Our farmers and ranchers are not, The Feds cannot enforce similar regulations in this country without state help. California will be happy to comply with Federal “green” regulations as they are rolled out. That will be a problem for American fruit, nut, and vegetable production, much of which is concentrated in that state. Florida, most of the South, the northern Rockies states, and the Plains states will not.
Guns do no good when you have nothing to feed your soldiers. Less than 2% of Europeans are farmers. Ditto the USA. You’ll know the farmers are serious when they only plant enough to feed themselves. It’s coming because the Marxists genuinely believe they can wait them out. Very, very shortsighted on the part of the gubmint, but that’s nothing new.
