  1. "…as energy and fertilizer costs spike because of RUSSIA's (?) war in Ukraine."

    With all of the manure and gas NBC produces? I don't believe it.

  2. Trump said that Europe shouldn’t by Russian energy despite the fact that’s even during the Cold War that’s wasn’t an issue. But Trump decided that’s not so. So Europeans have to pay more and destroy their economies for the USA . Europeans destroyed by Americans

  3. Absolute and full support for the farmers.

  4. don't call it EU "elections". Those people were never elected by us, the people😅

  5. Far right to be pro Farmers, media is a joke!

  6. All of our politicians at this point in Europe and America are distroying us all!

  7. My deepest sympathy for us all!!!

  8. Rulers say to people ready to war, the east is our threat, to hide their fails. But normal people just need only to live in peace and harmony. There is a point that fakes are getting blows.

  9. Less tax less coverment we control ourselves farmer's over the world is with thair backs against the wall no farmer no food we produce everything

  10. Why don’t they discuss the green agenda and what it’s about ?

  11. Imagine Finland throwing social laws in the EU while Finland runs to NATO to join NATO cause Russia is ready to gain thier land back from them just imagine throwing social laws

  12. Huh? Conservative governments at the root of the protests. No, au contraire, it's these tragic green controls, esp on bovines and nitrogen based fertilizers, which is fueling these protests. In Holland, farmers are purposely being put out of business. In Germany, limits on diesel. NBC get your propaganda straight. But, then again, it's propaganda you peddle.

  13. NBC are stupid if they think this is about imports and the war in Ukraine, typical mainstream media.

  14. This is another example of people showing they have had enough!!!

  15. This is another example of people showing they have had enough!!!

  16. This is another example of people showing they have had enough!!!

  17. If your enemy is the farmers, you're the baddies!

  18. Blames the war!? misinformation much!?

  19. Humanity is very powerful when they gather together to fight against tyrants like we are doing today, all over the world, so happy to see the humanity fighting so hard to save ourselves❤❤❤

  20. New York State suddenly doesn’t look so bad eh?

  21. BS blaming climate change! It's the WEF
