And the world will do nothing
„There are starving children in ….. {insert random country here},“ When the rest of the world inserts U.S.A. we’ll know there’s a problem.
North Korea famine actually started not from drought, as popular accounts suggest, but from oil crisis.
Specifically after the collapse of the Soviet Union, from which North Korea was receiving oil for very subsidized prices. Boris Yeltsin, who badly needed foreign currency, told North Koreans he is ready to supply them oil, but only for hard foreign currency, which they didn’t have
This has had cascading consequence on the entire production chain of North Korea’s national economy. Without oil, coal mines stopped. With oil and coal, chemical industry stopped. Without chemical industry, no fertilizer were supplied to farms and paddies throughout the country. Which meant not enough food, and North Korea already has pretty tight situation on how much can it produce food. And then the famine happened.
Do what you want with this information.
There are a few thousand people globally who have the ability to change all of this. They refuse.
Building data centers and forcing „AI“ down our throats is more important /s
never going to happen
Depending on who you listen to, one might expect that upon hearing that we are six months from famines, the gatekeepers might say to one another, „Ah! So let’s keep this gate shut for exactly six months, then.“
WSB question. What’s the play?
I’m surprised the US president hasn’t reversed course on this already
He usually does.
Looks like both sides are dug in
Just like with the pandemic, nobody will do anything until it happens
Whelp, I’m stocking up on beans.
We are fucked then
But Elon said we should make more kids
So what I’m hearing is „we don’t need to do anything for 5 months and give or take 30 days“
Guess I’ll start stocking up on beans,rice and ramen noodles
Why? Think about the gaz price in the USA please that’s the real tragedie… the only thing they are talking at least
Screw that. I have food struggles on my Kalshi. Quit telling people.
Combine this with the coming Super El Niño and you have a major world famine. Probably deaths in the tens of millions.
Isn’t this said like every 6 months
History doesn’t repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme with
Everytime I think about the American government, I wonder how Americans let this to happen to their country.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to their quarterly No Kings meetup in a half dozen weeks where their voice their opposition.
Its a created problem.
So world hunger before the Epstien Files are released. Sounds about right.
Next is an asteroid, then a plague, then a war, then Epstein, then China, then Cuba, then a fuel crisis, then, then, then
Aren’t you glad liberals didn’t vote for Harris because she was complicit with “genocide Joe”?
Trumps already estimated to kill 9 million people globally from USAID cuts but this will probably play out to be a lot worse. Oh and Trump made the situation in Gaza even worse!
It’s news like this that makes me so glad I moved out of the USA to a little known country and built a self sustaining farm with solar power.
I wonder how many countries would’ve dragged out their Trump equivalent by their greasy neck pussies and dumped them in a landfill by now?
I have a new product that will help feed people during this upcoming food crisis.
I call it…
… soylent green.
„Hunger is a Democrat hoax.“
— Trump in 6 months
Well. It was good while it lasted.
yet another boy who cried wolf headline. this is exhausting.
We’ll blow by that deadline without any “world leader” doing much of anything that get this situation sorted. The world is well and truly FUBAR
Imagine if Russia said to the world in 2022 „if NATO helps Ukraine defend themselves then we will paralyze the global economy by closing the skies and shooting down every civilian plane we can until NATO does as we say“.
Then imagine if Russia followed through on their threat and started indiscriminately shooting down airliners, and then blamed NATO for their own actions under the logic of „Well we said we would do this if NATO helped Ukraine and they did it anyway, so it’s NATO’s fault for ‚provoking‘ us into closing the skies“.
That’s essentially what Iran is doing now by attacking civilian ships in Hormuz and blaming the US for „provoking“ them into doing it.
Time to start learning how to garden
So we’re going to have a food crisis in 6 months is what I’m reading
When there is no other food, the rich will start to look mighty tasty.
“More AI slop should fix it”- a psychopath bilionaire probably
Ok so what should I hoard for the price gauge?
Maybe time to have another peek at a world map or hit up Google and learn once and for all that syphoning 30% of a product used world wide through 1 volitile area may not be so smart.
Fuck me, it’s just so embarrassing to be human at this point.
This is the second time this has come up, and it is no more true than previously. There’s plenty of food on both sides of the Strait.
This is just trying to wrap „we want cheap oil back, we don’t care about some terrorist regime that’s destabilizing the region“ in prettier words.
This has been brewing for years, and the situation is dragging on as long as it is because when the IRGC started killing people by the tens of thousands, the UN said nothing and did nothing. So someone (likely Saudi Arabia) whispered „OIL!“ to Trump and this all kicked off.
If the UN wants this over, they should work together against the IRGC. Let the people of Iran have their country back. There are leaders, good people, ready to lead Iran to be a progressive democracy. The people are fighting and dying for this. The fall of the IRGC would hurt Russia, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and all the smaller terrorist groups. It would secure the Strait with a government that doesn’t have ulterior motives.
But it’s much easier to turn a blind eye to all that and make up stories about food as a cover for „we just want cheap oil back“.
Well, at least this will happen because of no discernible upside or even reason.
Bet they won’t
Remove Trump, problem solved.
I think the people in power consider this a feature and not a bug…
world never avoids anyhing, people are overloaded with their own problems
Just like with climate change, the world’s response will be: „Oh, well.“
