HYSTERICAL, BIDEN IS AN ASSHOLE, STORY OF THE DAY

It doesn’t get funnier than this. As our stock market implodes, gas soars past $5.00 a gallon, inflation rages at a true rate north of 17%, someone told Dementia Joe we can’t grow crops without Russian fertilizer. Biden’s sanctions have destroyed America, not Russia. Their oil revenues are at record highs, they just REDUCED interest rates, and their ruble is at a 4 year high versus the USD. The Ukrainian army is collapsing, Russia has already won the war, and we just pissed $50 billion down a Ukrainian toilet. Thanks Joe.

Biden Admin Quietly Urging Companies To Purchase Russian Fertilizer

Well this is awkward…

The Biden administration has been quietly urging agricultural and shipping companies to buy and carry more Russian fertilizer, according to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the efforts.

The move comes as fears over sanctions have led to a sharp drop in supplies, contributing to the ongoing ‘spiraling global food costs.’

The effort is part of complex and difficult negotiations underway involving the United Nations to boost deliveries of fertilizer, grain and other farm products from Russia and Ukraine that have been disrupted by President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of his southern neighbor.

US and European officials have accused the Kremlin of using food as a weapon, preventing Ukraine from exporting. Russia denies that even as it has attacked key ports, blaming the shipment disruptions on sanctions imposed by the US and its allies over the invasion. -Bloomberg

With Moscow being a key supplier of fertilizer, the US and EU have included exemptions on sanctions against doing business with Russia – however many shippers, banks and insurers have been cautiously staying away out of fear that they might accidentally run afoul of the rules in an expensive lesson. Now, US officials are trying to encourage activity in the space.

Exports of Russian fertilizer are notably down 24% YTD.

As Bloomberg notes, the new push by Washington underscores the current challenge facing the west – which seeks to punish Russian President Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine, while also easing pressure on economy-damaging food inflation during an election year in America. Since the war began in February, already-high inflation spiked further – a point Putin regularly makes while railing against sanctions.

Earlier this month, the Biden admin sent a representative to UN-led talks with Moscow regarding supply issues – as insufficient deliveries of fertilizer could also negatively affect next year’s crops.

The Kremlin has insisted that the US provide assurances to global buyers that they won’t face sanctions, suggesting it as a condition to unblock any shipments of Ukrainian farm products now.

“For Russia, it’s really important that U.S. authorities send a clear signal that these deals are permitted and in the interest of global food security and they shouldn’t refuse to carry them out,” said Ivan Timofeev, a sanctions specialist at the Kremlin-founded Russian International Affairs Council. 

Russian grain exports are down only 14%, while wheat exports doubled in May, according to the Russian grain union, while more than 25 million tons of Ukrainian grains, sunflower oil and other commodities are stuck in Ukraine due to security fears over Black Sea ports and shipping lanes. With the new harvest beginning, officials caution that the situation will become more dire.

Talks on releasing those shipments have gone slowly, with Putin seeking to pin the blame on Ukraine for not wanting to remove mines from ports placed to defend them from possible attacks by Russian forces. Kyiv has said it’s not convinced by Moscow’s assurances that it won’t strike, noting that Russia also insisted before the war that it wouldn’t invade.

De-Mining Ukraine’s Ports May Take Months, UN Agency Says Russia won the support of Turkey in its calls for sanctions relief last week, but Ankara’s efforts to mediate a solution to restart shipments so far haven’t yielded results. -Bloomberg

According to James O’Brien, head of the Office of Sanctions Coordination at the State Department, “We’re working together with our partners to get about half of what Ukraine exports out each month,” adding “So we’re looking at a substantial shortfall.”

Finally, we can’t help but see the irony that Washington is urging farmers to buy Russian fertilizer (implicitly in part funding Putin’s war against Ukraine), while at the same time providing arms and funding to Ukraine (in Ukraine’s war against Russia). A real MIC reacharound.

“many shippers, banks and insurers have been cautiously staying away out of fear that they might accidentally run afoul of the rules ”

this is what happens when 1) insiders corrupt the rule of law, and 2) when insider lawyers are the law. and this was what they deliberately did, to deliberately achieve exactly this result – no-one knows what to do, everyone is afraid to act, without permission from a “lawyer”.

What a pathetic choice of the globalists to install this cadaver into the oval office. Has anyone heard any ShitLibs talk of the “green new deal lately? Wait until gas gets to $10/gallon. I think even an imbecile like AOC ( did you ever meet an intelligent bartender?) will be forced to eat her words.

“will be forced to eat her words”

you don’t get it. they say these things to you, not because they mean them, but in order to herd you in the direction they want to go. if it all blows up in their face, they don’t care – they just move on to the next cattle call in order to manipulate you. their goal is not correctness, or shared common goals, or justice – their goal is control. of you. getting you to work for them so they can live the grand life for free at your expense.

it’s their religion. “you will consume the wealth of the nations, and in their riches you will boast.”

I realized that decades ago. But we all are in a battle for the hearts and minds and having former ShitLibs become awake (have you heard Bill Maher’s recent tirades against the narrative lately) is an important sign the tide is shifting.

Auntie has met and conversed with many highly intelligent, based, worldly and in-the-know bartenders. In many places.

You are frequenting all the wrong gin-mills, titty bars, and clubs, bub.

Don’t put down barkeeps; instead call the fucking disgusting corrupt politicians and civil servants out straight-up and unexpurgated.

The eruption of Tambora in 1815 had devastating consequences for tyrannies all around the globe as famine resulted from the volcanic winter the eruption caused. As Tucker Carlson keeps reminding folks, insurrections, revolutions, etc. happen when the food runs out, and government is always the target (despite who the media will surely be pointing at).

Russia has no wheat, no corn, no gold, no fertilizer, no vast mineral resources …. they got nuthin!

I got this info from one of America’s greatest senators ever, John “Shitstain” McCain, who said Russia is nothing but a gas station masquerading as a country.
