As The Countdown To Global Famine Under Joe Biden Is Kicked Up To The Phase Of Mass Extermination, Remember That This Is All Being 'Engineered' By Enemies Of America Within
By MN Gordon of the Economic Prism for All News Pipeline
The latest iteration of the Russia-Ukraine war recently surpassed the 90 day marker. And theres no foreseeable end in sight.
Henry Kissingers counsel at the World Economic Forum this week that Ukraine give up territory to Russia is a nonstarter for Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This war has only just beginning.
Do you remember what the fighting is for? If so, youre one of few.
President Biden the big guy is entirely flummoxed. This week, at the Quad summit in Japan, Biden remarked that the Russian war against Ukraine was unprovoked. Once again, a firm grasp of the facts is not one of Bidens strong suits.
Vladimir Putin, the invader, has over two decades of provocations he can point to. According to declassified U.S., Soviet, German, British, and French documents posted on December 12, 2017, by the National Security Archive at George Washington University, the U.S. promised to not expand the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO):
U.S. Secretary of State James Bakers famous not one inch eastward assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991.
Yet, instead of maintaining the status quo, NATO has greatly expanded eastward towards Russias border. Russia considers the expansion of NATO to be a direct military threat. The Russian government also doesnt like the U.S. conducting regular military exercises in countries bordering Russia for over 20 years.
Now, after 90 days of war, anything, including WWIII, can happen

Appetite For Destruction
The U.S. is currently arming Ukraine with a dizzying display of weapons. American-made M777 Howitzers, FGM-148 Javelins, FIM-92 Stingers, and Switchblade Kamikaze Drones. These are good times to be an arms maker.
Without question, the technology of the military-industrial complex is remarkable. And its appetite for destruction is gluttonous. Too much defense spending is never enough.
Yet the gross misallocation of capital for the purpose of destructive consumption will have consequences that remain for many decades. It will further enlarge Americas massive $30.5 trillion debt pile with no economic benefit in return. This guarantees a future that will be less prosperous for American workers who will have to pick up the tab.
Whats more, Biden, the commander in chief, is going all in. And why not? His public approval rating has fallen to 36 percent. The elderly fellow is seriously struggling. He needs a miracle.
Perhaps war is his answer. Sadly, Biden recently signed a mega $40 billion military aid bill for Ukraine. As Ron Paul noted
To put this giveaway to Ukraine in perspective: just since late February, the US has provided nearly $60 billion in assistance to Ukraine. That is almost half that countrys entire 2020 GDP! Washington has literally adopted Ukraine in our name and on our dime.
At the same time, and at a great cost, Putin is slowly succeeding. Invading Ukraine has proved much more difficult than annexing the Crimean Peninsula in 2014. Nonetheless, the recent taking of Mariupol has established a full Russia controlled land connection between the Peninsula and the pro-Russian areas in Donetsk and Luhansk.
Putin now has control over the entire Ukrainian coast of the Sea of Azov. And now controls much of the provinces of Kherson, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kharkiv. The optimistic NATO narrative appears lacking.
Something terrible is setting in. A costly and protracted war in Ukraine. Certainly, the $40 billion aid could turn into several trillion or more over the next decade like it did in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Just 90 days in, and the implications are rapidly multiplying and ricocheting around the globe like metastatic cancer.
Countdown To World Famine
Russia, for example, is the worlds third-largest oil and natural gas producer. Sanctions have limited some Russian energy sales. However, higher prices have delivered substantial energy revenue to Russia.
To counter this, Europe is working to phase in an embargo of Russian oil later this year. Hence, higher oil and gasoline prices are here to stay. Moreover, a full-blown energy shock with extreme price spikes is possible.
Remember, carbon based energy not the green stuff is what powers the world economy. High energy prices and shocks will inevitably translate to economic pain and recessionmaybe depression. This will get ugly. But thats not all
Irreversible damage to world food markets has already occurred. The effects are somewhat latent, for now. But, as night follows day, disaster is approaching.
Before the war, Ukraine produced 30 percent of the worlds sunflower oil, 6 percent of its barley, 4 percent of its wheat, and 3 percent of its corn. Russia has blockaded all of Ukraines Black Sea ports, its primary export route to the rest of the world. The war could also reduce planting of future crops by up to an estimated 35 percent.
And guess what?
Russias also a major exporter of sunflower oil, wheat and barley. Plus, Russia is the largest exporter of nitrogen fertilizerand the Russian government has halted fertilizer exports. Higher energy prices also increase the cost of food production and transportation.
Since the war commenced, wheat prices have jumped about 30 percent. Sunflower oil, used for cooking, is up about 50 percent. The global cost of fertilizer is up 230 percent.
Its not hard to fathom a painful combination of higher food prices and lower crop yields wrecking mass chaos in the very near future. Developing nations in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, will be especially vulnerable.
According to Sara Menker, CEO of Gro Intelligence, the world has only 10 weeks worth of wheat left to deal with the crisis.
By our estimation, you can give or take a week or two in the countdown to world famine.
