Where’s Putin?
The US needs to sink those ships before all of that grain makes it to starving little black kids. /s
But, but Rhodesia used to supply all of Africa’s needs! What happened they now need Russian grain?
All the White farmers were killed and their land dispersed to the black farmers who striped and sold the equipment, and didn’t plant anything.......Just as what is happening in South Africa right now.
Assuming that there are at least some farmers in Africa, how does the delivery of free food affect them? What happens to the price of locally grown food if tons of free food are arbitrarily thrown into the market? I would think that next growing season there will be very, very little locally grown food.
