Biden warns of 'real' food shortage following sanctions on Russia
Fox News via Yahoo ^ | March 24th, 2022 | Kyle Morris

President Biden said Thursday that a food shortage is "gonna be real" following the sanctions that were placed on Russia by the U.S. government as a result of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion into Ukraine.

"With regard to food shortage, yes we did talk about food shortages, and it's gonna be real," Biden said during a press conference at a NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium, following a meeting with other world leaders.

"The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia," he added. "It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well."

Biden said "Russia and Ukraine have been the breadbasket of Europe in terms of wheat" and insisted that he and other leaders had a "long discussion in the G7" about the need to "increase and disseminate" food production.

"In addition to that, we talked about urging all the European countries, and everyone else, to end trade … limitations on sending food abroad," Biden said. "And, so, we are in the process of working out with our European friends what it would take to help alleviate the concerns relative to the food shortages."

Everyone from the south will be moving here soon. Then we can leave them here and move south.

BOMBSHELL for the poor countries of the southern hemisphere.

Biden does NOT mean that one week your store doesn’t have bacon and the following month they don’t have breakfast sausage. He means YOU and your loved ones might go hungry.

It’s the commie way...

Assuming we survive this senile old crook, there is going to need to be a reckoning for those who supported him. At a minimum, they need their country. They should want it in order to feel safe.

” He means YOU and your loved ones might go hungry.”

He means there will be a shortage and food will go to the highest bidder.

With money, you can eat well.

Or, with food stamps.

in a little over a year, we went from Trump’s leadership of a country with peace, prosperity, plenty, & energy independence to a country with impending food and fuel shortages, runaway inflation, and war ... truly amazing that the Democrats could f***k things up so thoroughly, so quickly ...

I tried those food stamps once. Tasted terrible and didn’t seem very nutritious.

It's on purpose, but I don't think they realized it was going to move quick enough for people to see what's really going on.

I am reminded of a scene in A TALE OF TWO CITES(1935) in which the starving people see the Arisos feeding their dogs great chunks of ribs.

And the Revolution is ON!

Much like Dostoevsky’s THE GRAND INQUISITOR who says Jesus gave them manna from Heaven, but the Inquisitor gave them earthly bread, and the people laid their freedom at his feet!
That is what the Democrats want.

A starving people is a deadly people.
