  1. bidens a bad president. shoudnt he have secured the food before they attak

  2. What the Ukrainians really need right now is electric cars . Because that's what is really important. Lol

  3. Biden solution to increase food production is to stop food production. Or just make a gallon of diesel 15.00 per gallon . Keep voting democrat. And you get democrat policies .

  4. This is the kind of world we've made for ourselves and our children, better have no enemies when the light goes out, due to the Ukrainian economic crisis and the rate of unemployment I think it's the best time to invest and make more money for the future

  5. Average American is being lied to constantly by media so they had little clue.

  6. We grow enough wheat in the United States to support US ..

  7. I'm just waiting for the point to where we're going to send aid to a country and the checks are declined, the equipment are paper cut outs.

  8. Let’s go Brandon😋
    “Your people” are willing to pay the price.

  9. Biden is OK with people dying from starvation because of his sanctions?

  10. Who else doesn't give flying effs about Ukraine? All you Biden voters out there, you regretting your votes now? Make no mistake, people around the world will die from this. Africa will get hit particularly hard. All because you stupid people couldn't deal with some mean tweets. You know what being intelligent means? It means objectively looking at numbers and results. I'm going to let you in on a secret. I didn't particularly like Trump's tweets either. But I was INTELLIGENT enough to separate the man's policies from his personality. You people are all slaves to your emotions. And now it's going to cost all of us $400 more dollars a month, $5000 more a year. Hope you're all happy while our country falls off a cliff. Next time around the use your brain, not your heart.

  11. Pretty sure the United States literally pays farmers to burn extra food crops. Why don't we figure out the logistics of picking up this excess food instead to donate these just have the poorer countries pay for the shipping from the ports give the farmers some tax breaks give the shipping companies some tax breaks to add it into their empty spots on the ships. Also encourage all these people to have victory gardens at their homes or in their communities. This is the problem with globalism every country should have its people covered on things like food and clean water even basic items in manufacturing.

  12. Wheat is bad for your health. Just eat something else.

  13. For five years, in the Second World War, the defenders of Leningrad defended the city in the field. Being in a blockade. So that, God forbid, hostilities did not go on in the city. casualties among civilians. Probably Biden gave them such an instruction.

  14. How can there be a shortage when the wheat crops are some time away from being planted. So they are saying plenty of bread in the USA but i bet if a shortage else where does happen the price of bread will go higher in price in the USA.

  16. Ein Frieden zwischen Ukraine und Russland und ein friedliches Zusammenleben in Europa könnte so einfach aussehen, wenn alle Parteien es nur wollten.
    Für einige mögen manche Punkte utopisch angesehen werden, aber mit positives Denken kann man bei Verhandlungen darauf aufbauen und mit kleineren Änderungen es umsetzen.
    Folgende Punkte könnten für eine Entspannung und/bzw. Lösung der Probleme zwischen den verschiedensten Parteien dienen.
    Hauptsache ist, daß man miteinander spricht.
    1. Verzicht der Ukraine auf einen NATO Beitritt.
    2. Eine ständige Entwaffnung der Ukraine mit schweren Waffen und Luftwaffe, damit Russland die Ukraine nicht als Gefahr ansieht.
    3. Eine Zusicherung der Ukraine sich niemals atomar zu bewaffnen oder Massenvernichtungswaffen im Lande herzustellen und daran zu forschen, wie chemische, biologische oder atomare Waffen.
    Auch die Forschung und Betreibung von Laboratorien in diesem Bereichen sollte verboten sein.
    4. Militärische und politische Neutralitätserklärung der Ukraine und
    Festlegung in der ukrainischen Verfassung.
    5. Verbot aller faschistischen und Neo-Nazi Gruppen und deren Propaganda.
    6. Erlaubnis und Gleichberechtigung der russischen Sprache und russischen Minderheit in allen Bereichen in der Ukraine, neben der ukrainischen Sprache und Bevölkerung und Festlegung in einer überarbeiteten Grundgesetz der Ukraine.
    7. Freiheit und Erlaubnis von politischen Aktivitäten von Pro Russischen Parteien.
    8. Rückgabe der Krim, Donbass etc. an die ukrainische Zentralregierung.
    9. Aussetzung und Nichtigkeit des Hitler Stalin Paktes und Rückgabe der ehemaligen polnischen Gebiete der Ukraine an Polen und Rückgabe der Ostgebiete Deutschlands, welche Polen zugeschlagen wurde nach dem II. Weltkrieg an Deutschland.
    10. Mit Belarus könnte man ebenfalls auf Rückgabe der ehemaligen polnischen Gebiete verhandeln und im Gegenzug Belarus und Russland Aufhebung aller Sanktionen und Mitgliedschaft in der EU anbieten.
    11. Polen und die baltischen Staaten sollten aus der NATO austreten und als neutrale Pufferstaaten zwischen der NATO und Russland dienen.
    Die NATO und Russland sollten diesen Staaten Sicherheisgarantien geben.
    Die Punkte 3.), 4.), 5.), 6.) und 7.) sollten Polen und die baltischen Staaten ebenfalls umsetzen und garantieren, wobei bei Polen ukrainisch und belarussisch in den eingegliedert Gebieten als gleichberechtigte Sprachen neben polnisch dienen sollten.
    Bei den baltischen Staaten sollte russisch als gleichberechtigt dienen, da es dort große russische Minderheiten gibt.

    Peace between Ukraine and Russia and peaceful coexistence in Europe could look so easy if all parties wanted it.
    Some points may seem utopian to some, but with positive thinking you can build on them in negotiations and implement them with minor changes.
    The following points could be used for relaxation and/or solve the problems between the various parties.
    The main thing is that you talk to each other.
    1. Ukraine renounces NATO membership.
    2. A constant disarmament of Ukraine with heavy weapons and air force, so that Russia does not see Ukraine as a threat.
    3. A pledge by Ukraine never to adopt nuclear weapons or to manufacture or research weapons of mass destruction in the country, such as chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
    Research and the operation of laboratories in these areas should also be prohibited.

    Stipulation in the Ukrainian Constitution.

    In the case of the Baltic States, Russian should serve as an equal since there are large Russian minorities there.

  17. This does nothing but make the rich f**** richer.

  18. Well let Farmers in 🇺🇸 do there FUCKING JOBS GODDAMMIT

  19. Don't you find it strange the Russia entered a foreign country, Ukraine, to denazify it exactly like the USA did during WWII and people are upset about Russia's invasion?

    How many times have you heard people criticize Allied leaders for not stopping Hitler earlier?

  20. Ya You can get still get bread in the U.S. it will cost you $6.00 thanks Biden. This is all a agenda to bring in the great reset and the new world order. You will fail.

  21. No weapons – no freedom, no food, no life!

    No food – unrests, crimes of migrants, marauders and killers

    History: Oil crisis 1973-74 + Great Depression 1929-35. Migration from Ukraine has already begun, since 2014. Soon we are waiting for starving migrants – NATO countries banned the export of grain and oil and gas from Belarus and Russia (give for free?).

  22. There was a shortage of fertilizer last fall, it is only getting worse. Stop blaming Russia for all of Biden's mistakes

  23. That's a big lie! How it's affecting global food shortage & their wheat rarely go around the world plus those countries rarely you see products from there & mostly all types of foods in most of the globe!

Smh! Y'all need to stop this gouging bs plans these billionaire that own these news media are using to help boost there other businesses!
