World Leaders Seek Solutions to Food Shortages Caused by Ukraine War
By Vivian Salama and Bojan Pancevski, June 24, 2022, WSJ

Russia and Ukraine together supply almost 1/3 of the world’s wheat, 1/4 of its barley and nearly 3/4 of sunflower oil, according to the Int'l Food Policy Research Institute. The Ukrainian govt expects less than half of this year’s harvest to make it
out of the country.

G-7 allies are now working to unblock transport bottlenecks or reroute food products, fertilizer and other agricultural products by sea and rail.

Moscow has blamed Western sanctions for problems with global food prices and supplies, but a delegation of U.S. officials has been meeting with foreign governments, telling them that those involved in the export of Russian food commodities and
fertilizers won’t face sanctions, a senior U.S. official said.

Officials are also seeking solutions to get Ukraine’s growing stockpiles of grain moving again since full silos must be emptied ahead of the harvest. Kyiv has accused Russia of seizing Ukrainian grain, an allegation backed by the U.S. State Dept, which
sent cables to several govts in recent weeks urging them against accepting Ukrainian grain allegedly looted by Russia. Moscow denies the accusations.

Ukrainian government officials said the country was negotiating with neighbors such as Poland, Romania and Hungary to improve railway links to be able to export more. Some of the grain was being moved by road, they said, but the capacity for that freight
was much smaller and more expensive.

Most Ukrainian exporters are now using railways to Poland to move their grain and other agricultural products, as well as the Romanian port of Constanta, according to officials and grain producers.

A Romanian government official said his country’s ports couldn’t replace the volume of traffic that is being rerouted from Ukrainian ports, due partly to capacity issues and because Romania had its own grain to export.

Poland has doubled the transit capacity at its border crossings with Ukraine to increase the flow of grain, according to Michal Dworczyk, chief of staff to the Polish PM.

Cary Fowler, the U.S. special envoy for global food security, said the crisis “that we’re experiencing now is not one that is going to go away in the next few weeks [or] months.”

It is a "choose and pick" answers of the US in telling countries that those involved in the export of Russian food commodities and fertilizers won’t face sanctions, when on the other hand, US in the G7 meeting accused those countries identified are
selling goods to Russia.

They were warned that they will subject to their "cut-off" by their sanctions too. And for reminding them, it is hilarious to see some of those countries identified were actually their US ally, too. But they are not their buddies of 5 eyes countries.

One can see the hilarious contradictory in seeing how US treated their wordings of selling to Russia will be sanctioned and buying from Ukraine from Russia is okay but not okay from Russia. It is hilarious that US at G7 meeting mocked at their own allied
countries for selling goods to Russia.

By making veil warning them with cut-off sanctions on them, it goes to show US is making to their own choosing and siding of their own 5 eyes gangster countries only and not care or bother of wording to their other allies that they deemed little to them
and they are not part of their realm of 5 eyes countries

If US or world leaders stopped their economic sanctions on Russia, the food shortages will be back to normal. US at the G7 was now even targeting some companies from some countries for selling and shipping products to Russia.

They promised to cut them off, but did US think why they shouldn't do it at all. This is unless they have the money to compensate them for their losses. These companies are doing business and trades under free trade with whoever and whichever countries
they shipped.

While on one hand, US is sanctioning Russia, but on the other hand, it is free trade and open trade for these businesses, Hence, except for purchasing and selling of military weapons, other things should be opened for free trade and open trade without
whoever wants to business with each other. Therefore, business is about deals and about reciprocal deals and so on.

When comes to EU and US and UK in sending and selling military weapons shipped to Ukraine, it was okay to them. Nut other business shipping normal products to Russia are considered not okay and is deemed as violation of US sanctions on Russia.

Why is that there are double standard of arguments by US on their own military weapons shipped to Ukraine and not for other countries to ship similar weapons to Russia?. That is why US is ruining their own reputation and now no countries in the world
really respect what US is doing. They wont bother to attend and listen their rhetoric to them, too.

The Ukraine case isn't a primary cause for the food shortages.

Meanwhile <https://is.gd/KTg5wC> "America's obesity problem increased
40% in 20 years", which means Americans are eating too much. Even more outrageous is the fact that about 40% of food in the US is thrown away
uneaten <https://is.gd/v4VvyG>. If America consumed just a little less
food, it would be enough to feed all the poor nations in the world.

War is "neutral" to others. It's among themselves, so to speak. One man's meat is another man's poison. Who's right is who is wrong. Who is powerful is on who is weak. US who result them into war.

But economic sanction is neither one. Economic sanction gives the one who has power to dominate the world to use as a whip to whip on countries they dislike. Economic sanction gives trilateral damages not only to the two countries at war but to third
parties of businesses in countries from having to close their businesses.

They caused their clients to suffer from not receiving their goods and thus resulted food shortages from their food imports and exports from these two warring countries. The idea of "economic sanction" comes from US many years ago. At that time, they
thought that if they cannot fight and occupy them, they can economic sanction until their people suffered from economic lockdowns and massive breakdowns.

They will use food shortage in other countries and suffering breakdown in that country to showcase how unhappy the people were. Hence they institute regime change for them by first using media flaming and fabrication of falsehoods and ganged up by 5 eyes
countries making reports, and joint meeting to cast smears to destroy that country.
