BREAKING: Ports close in Ukraine, and just like that, grain exports to much of the world stop:
Ukraine's military has suspended commercial shipping at its ports after Russian forces invaded the country, an adviser to the Ukrainian president's chief of staff said, stoking fear of supply disruption from the leading grain and oilseeds exporters.
Russia earlier suspended the movement of commercial vessels in the Azov Sea until further notice, but kept Russian ports in the Black Sea open for navigation, its officials and five grain industry sources said on Thursday.
Ukraine is a major exporter of corn (maize), much of it destined for China and the European Union. It also competes with Russia to supply wheat to major buyers such as Egypt and Turkey.

Wheat prices soar as 1/3rd of the world’s wheat exports come from Ukraine/Russia --
___
Wheat futures prices were up sharply Thursday on the prospect of disrupted supplies and market breakdowns as two of the world’s biggest grain exporters square off.
Between them, Ukraine and Russia account for nearly a third of the world’s wheat exports, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Kyiv is a major source of grain for such key markets as China, Egypt and much of the Middle East.

China announces “We are more than happy to buy Russia’s wheat.” Bear in mind they already have more than half of the world’s stocks, and are now reinforcing their own food security by cozying up to Russia.
____
On Thursday, China’s customs agency approved imports of wheat from all regions of Russia, giving Putin an alternative to Western markets that might be closed under possible sanctions.
Russia is one of the world’s biggest wheat producers but has been shut out of China until now due to concern about possible fungus and other contamination.
The two governments announced an agreement Feb. 8 for China to import Russian wheat and barley after Putin became the highest-profile foreign guest to attend the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Lots of voices speculating about Xi will move on Taiwan (or not).
I won’t speculate, but I will observe that big funds dumped nearly $2bil of Taiwanese equities yesterday alone. Money talks, and this would seem to speak volumes… we will see.

Ukraine Invasion Unnerves Global Funds Bracing for Taiwan Risk
The conflict in Ukraine is sparking renewed jitters about tensions between China and Taiwan, and the worries are showing up in the island’s assets.
China’s threats to use military force to stop Taiwan from declaring formal independence have dogged the island’s markets for years, and the standoff in Ukraine provides a snapshot of the risks if tensions escalate. Global funds dumped the equivalent of $1.91 billion of Taiwan stocks on Thursday, the biggest one-day withdrawal in a year.

I haven’t seen one account say, “Pray for Russia.” Are y’all stuck in the movie Rocky 4,” thinking “USA good/Russia bad?”
Guys, the government of Ukraine isn’t innocent and our government sure as HECK isn’t as well.
We had a treaty with Russia - we broke it. Putin warned everyone not to.
Also factor in the plans of the global elite to use this (planned) conflict to make everything worse.
Using the hashtag #prayforukraine” is just falling into the propaganda machine’s “create a victim and demonize a “bad guy.”
Don’t fall for it and pray for ALL parties involved.
We’re all going to be deeply affected by this BS.

The plan is to severely limit food supply.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The federal government says it won’t deliver any water to California farmers because of a severe drought. The decision will force many farmers to plant fewer crops in a region that supplies a quarter of the nation’s food.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation said a severe drought plaguing the western United States has left its system of reservoirs depleted. Environmental laws also require the system to have supply to maintain water quality throughout the fragile San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta.
The bureau said January and February have been the driest ever recorded for the northern Sierra Nevada mountains.

Please don’t tell me you don’t have enough space to grow food.
Get creative. Get to work. Inspire your neighbors.
If just 1 in 3 families had a small laying flock of chickens in their backyard, we eliminate the commercial egg industry.
We don’t need industrial agriculture. They need us.
RUN—DON’T WALK—AWAY! TAKE BACK YOUR POWER!
