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.
