President Biden warned that the Russian invasion of Ukraine will likely cause food shortages in some parts of the world because both countries are major exporters of wheat, in remarks to reporters in Brussels on Wednesday.
“It’s going to be real. The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia; it’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well,” Biden said. “Both Russia and Ukraine have been the breadbasket of Europe in terms of wheat, for example — just to give you one example.”

Whatever food shortages actually occur you can safely bet that they will not adversely affect the DC and Global "Elites".

All part of the great reset. This was part of the plan when poopy-pants started this war with talk of Ukraine joining NATO and feeding the ccp with information.

A president publicly states he's going to starve Americans and there's no talk of impeachment, yet Trump put Americans back to work by the millions and he was impeached.

They will still force us to burn corn in our gas tanks when we drive to the food riots. They will keep burning corn in the SWAT Teams APCs as well. Eat your lentils, (pretending it’s stake) until there aren’t enough lentils, them Biden will give us lots of food stamps to eat. We didn’t fight to save our country. Leftist took over our media, our schools, our institutions, our corporations, them rioted in the streets and took over city blocks. They fight. We vote, and watched them laugh as they’re deleted. So now what do we do? Pass
the food stamps please.

You'll use the words we allow you to use or you'll be shunned by the TV audience. You'll inject this toxic brew as many time as we like or you can't work or go to school. You'll buy an electric car after we render your working vehicle useless by making gasoline prohibitively expensive. And you'll eat sustainable mealworms and crickets so that we can enjoy our steak all the more.

It would not have mattered if everyone in the USA voted for Trump. The globalists had decided Biden was going to win no matter what and they would have driven up the fake vote count for as many days as required to cheat out a win! This was not an election, this was a secret war against America and we lost — round one. Now if round two is lost by another cheating session then there are very limited options to follow.

The Russians did that very thing to the Ukrainians about a hundred years ago and are still hated for it to this day. Apparently Comrade Biden and his owners forgot that part.
I guess its easy to forget when your history teaches you the country was founded by blacks, women and a couple old white guys.

He is setting up Putin to take the blame for his own stupid policies. He was the one who, on the first day, put in policies that drive up the price of fuel
so farmers will not have fuel to plow, plant, and harvest their crops. Add that to a drought, and wheat crops in the mid U.S. will be less than normal. (I just talked to a friend yesterday whose nephew will have to plow under 500 acres because the wheat crop did not "come up.") Then add in the crazy greenies in California and Oregon who want to blow up the dams and there will not be water in CA for growing crops or for drinking. It has been so long since there has been famine conditions, that Harvard and Yale graduates (who run our government) think that groceries magicly appear in the grocery store. They are soooo unprepared for what may come. They will starve the people while putting food (corn product) in their hybrid car's gas tank. Because "climate change" is the most serious threat to our survival. Anything near famine conditions will be a man-made famine.
All those Biden advisors and congressional staffers need to read that Khrushev memoir, especially the part about the man-made famine created when Stalin tried to impose his communist ideology. A paraphrase from that book, as he recalls talking to a villager: "We ate little Maria last week. Next we will have to eat little Ivan." There is a reason the Ukranians will fight the Russian invasion; and it doesn't have to do with NATO.

The last paragraph in this piece contains a Psaki quote, she babbled about fuel and fertilizer costs and corn and wheat pieces. Her statement was borderline incoherent. But don’t worry, Psaki assured that food shortages are not expected here, just “countries around the world.”

President Trump would be all over this. He would have farmers at the White House asking for their input. He would have companies in who could make fertilizer. He wouldn’t be sitting on his hands eating ice cream. Clearly, the globalists in the political class have an agenda and it has nothing to do with making American great again. These corrupt politicians do not care if we starve as long as they can continue with their decadent lifestyles. They are despicable with nothing good to recommend them.

FTA: “ And we both talked about how we could increase and disseminate more rapidly food shortages,” Biden said.
Is this really what pappy poopy pants said? Or does article have a garbled sentence?
Is this like his pre-election statement that he had assembled the greatest election fraud team ever assembled?

Perfect pair to his winter of death. Summer of starvation. I’m still waiting to die and my freezer and pantry are stocked always. Goats in the pasture and chickens in the hen house, hunting in the fall…. It’s called adulting and many are still fully capable without joes meddling.

Biden and his handlers thrive on crises...in fact, they can't legally impose their tyrannical dictats without them.
I can guarantee this one thing: while I can't name the full list right now, as long as the Biden cabal is in control, they will manufacture crises as needed to perpetuate their control.

To better explain my earlier comment, is to discuss the strategy of medieval siege warfare. It was common practice to drive as many people into a fortress so as to quickly use up food and water. Dead bodies might be hurled over the walls to spread disease and destroy moral.
We have seen ALL OF THESE in Democrat tactics these last 2 years.

Like the Godly woman of Proverbs 31, I hope that we are stocking whatever basics we have room to stock in advance of some dark times coming. Better also grab some seeds for planting if you can before they disappear as well. The shortages are on the democrat party and Biden, and they are having a real problem weaseling out of the mess they created.

A couple of things could be done right now to alleviate some of the shortages:
1. Restart oil and gas production and exploration.
2. Permanently end the ethanol in gasoline mandate.

The largest owner of arable farmland in the U.S. is Bill Gates. Meat Processing plants are being bought up by the Chinese. Hunger will be the motivating force when Americans are pitted one against the other. This is the Great Reset, or what Biden refers to as the New World Order. Others have made references to the Hunger Games, it could become a reality.

Tragic as it is, Ukraine is not a NATO member. At best, it was a piggy bank for our President and several residents of the DC area..
Why even have NATO and send our treasure to those countries if we'll jump in anywhere in the world but our own southern border?

So far, Biden has brought us energy and food shortages, high inflation, cultural immorality, illegal invasions, ruinous debt, a war with a nuclear power, paid Iran to build nuclear weapons, the disaster in Afghanistan, crime, a constitution shredded, a crime family, rabid dogs to bite the Secret Service, public charges for his home in Delaware; destroyed our reserve currency, military, justice, education, financial, and medical systems; divided the nation and world into East and West blocks, no questions answered by Biden. All these achievements have been done in 1 year. We have 3 to go, probably 7. The Democrats are redrawing all the legislative lines, the Democrat and Republican judges approving it, and Biden is renewing emergency powers for Covid to stuff the ballot boxes. The Republicans will have to take the House and the Senate, and impeach Biden to stop the ruin.

Have we all forgotten that our national motto is "In God We Trust"? It's on our money.
He's the same God who turned water into wine. He's the same God that fed 5,000 with a couple of loaves and fishes. I think the Lord is trying to get our attention, and saying....Hey, remember Me, I'm your Source. "You have not, because you ask not." (Book of James)
Remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but power, love and a sound mind. 2 Timothy
We can survive anything! (even Biden/Obama/Soros/Gates, et al) We are AMERICANS!

Come on, #17, everybody knows that blacks were here before the Pilgrims. They cleared the way for us to travel here and taught the Indians how to cook corn and Turkey. They probably built the Mayflower that brought our ancestors here. Too bad it missed Virginia by three states so the Captain must have been white.

We have tons of corn that is destined to become a gasoline additive most people don't want. I like corn bread. Spring wheat planting season starts at the end of March/early April. I suppose we have no seed because the idiots shipped it all overseas? And fertilizer - hmm - Is there really no way to ramp up production?
We have lots of untapped oil. New small nuclear reactors can supply abundant electricity without emitting the CO2 that terrifies liberals who don't know physics or biology but think they know science because they listen to dressed up idiots with polished speaking skills read from a teleprompter. Get these new world order idiots out.
The Resident tells us there is nothing to be done. How about simply unleashing American agriculture? Time for him to go to the home for the terminally brain damaged.
