Russians Fight Over Food At Store As Biden's Sanctions Lead To Empty Shelves

To bad the Russians have to suffer because of a bad leader. Also to bad Americans are also suffering with a bad leader right now.

Interesting that you seem to enjoy it when others suffer.
I think 'sick' is one term for it.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine proper was DEAD WRONG.
But putting economic sanctions on Russia.
Which will primarily hurt the poorest Russians is DEAD wrong as well.

And anyone who thinks it will result in regime change obviously knows dick about history (Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, etc.)
All economic sanctions do is make life harder for the poorest people.
 
According to an Interfax report, Russia's agricultural minister said that starting tomorrow and through June 1, Russia will halt wheat, corn, rye and barley exports. Now, Russia isn't growing or harvesting anything right now so these are supplies from last year. Despite all that, precipitation levels are extremely low in most of Europe and grains prices are already sky high. Russia may be trying to secure its own supplies. China also has a year of wheat supplies in storage. That's not the case in much of the world. High prices could lead to famines and food insecurity in much of the developing world. That will likely be exacerbated by sky-high fertilizer prices and could be worsened if Ukrainian planting is disrupted. Late yesterday, Argentina also halted all its soy exports in part due to drought. Food inflation is coming.

Buckle Up.
 
Not since the League of Nations’ failed sanctions on Italy after the invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 has there been an attempt to isolate an economy as large — Russia is the world’s sixth biggest economy measured at purchasing power parity — or as integrated in the world economy.

Sanctions that target a clear and unpardonable violation of international law, such as a war of aggression, can be justified in dire circumstances, but they come with costs. In this case, one of the most significant is the disruption that sanctions have caused to world energy markets. As Russian trade is squeezed, oil and gas prices are skyrocketing. For Asia’s commodity exporters, this will represent an immediate windfall gain: for net energy importers like Sri Lanka — already in the grips of a major economic downturn — the soaring cost of fuel will be ruinous.

A confluence of factors has brought us to the precipice of disaster. The world price of fertiliser had been increasing worryingly even before the invasion: spot prices for urea surged from around US$245 per tonne at the end of 2020 to US$901 per tonne in 2021. The pandemic has strangled supply chains and led to surging freight prices.

In this context, the disruption to world food markets caused by the Ukraine war comes at the worst possible moment. Not only are both Russia and Ukraine themselves major food exporters, Russia in particular is a major producer of fertiliser, which it supplies to food producers in Asia and around the world and whose output is critically dependent on synthetic fertiliser inputs. A shock in the market for agricultural inputs will flow directly into global food markets

What is your solution to rogue nations attacking other nations? Do nothing? Direct military action?

I seem to recall a time when we loaded up a shit ton of frozen corn onto these rusty ships..bound for Russia.

The color of their ships is rust.

No paint, just rust.

Apparently no longshoreman are doing anything of that sort these days.

They're shit out of luck.

Putin's a peckerhead for doing that to his people.
 
The global fertilizer shortage and super high costs will impact both acres planted and yields.

Get ready, its going to be a bumpy ride!

And our leaders are infants.

Oh My!
