(Warner Todd Huston) President Joe Biden’s sanctions against Russia will likely come at a high price — not just for Russians, but for Americans, too, as even he now admits that food shortages loom in our near future.

Biden proudly touted the heavy sanctions after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine. In late February, he even claimed the sanctions were designed not to hurt America.

“We have purposefully designed these sanctions to maximize the long-term impact on Russia and to minimize the impact on the United States and our allies,” Biden said during a Feb. 24 news conference, adding that they “exceed anything that’s ever been done.”

Oddly, Biden didn’t place sanctions on the one sector of Russia’s economy that would have hurt it the most: oil exports. It wasn’t until weeks later that he finally bowed to public pressure and banned Russian oil imports.

Whether or not Biden suffered a case of “do-somethingism,” one thing is sure: The sanctions are going to be costly. And despite what he claimed last month, that cost will hit Americans as well as Russians.

Experts are now warning that the ongoing Ukraine conflict coupled with the crippling sanctions on Russia’s economy could result in food shortages throughout the U.S. and the world, with some even predicting that crop yields for the 2022 growing season may fall by a catastrophic 50 percent.

One of the biggest problems is that Russia exports a large portion of the fertilizers and fertilizer supplies that the world’s farmers use to raise healthy crops. With severe sanctions hitting Russia, those fertilizers won’t make it to farm fields.

One expert told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that this looming fertilizer shortage will cause Americans’ grocery bills to soar to $1,000 or more a month.

Now, Biden himself has acknowledged that his sanctions won’t only hurt Russia.

During a Thursday news conference at NATO HQ in Brussels, he finally admitted the truth.

“With regard to food shortage, yes, we did talk about food shortages,” Biden said. “And it’s going to be real.”

He added, “The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia; it’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well. … Both Russia and Ukraine have been the breadbasket of Europe in terms of wheat, for example.”

Russia and Ukraine account for roughly 30 percent of the world’s annual wheat harvest, according to The New York Times. The two countries also produce 17 percent of the corn, 32 percent of the barley and 75 percent of the sunflower seed oil sold on the world market.

As Russian products are banned and Ukrainian fields have been turned into war zones, the crisis will be felt worldwide.

Biden claims he is going to address this issue.

According to Yahoo News, he said he spoke to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about trying to kick up food production in North America to make up the difference. But if neither Canada nor the U.S. can get enough fertilizer, the chances of boosting production will likely be a hard goal to achieve.

Once again, Biden seems to have just blundered blindly forward with his foreign policy without taking the real-world consequences into account. And — also once again — it will be the American people who suffer.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
