#2 As I recall, the followup statement was, “The chocolate ration will increase from 2oz. to 1.5oz.”

#4 Actually, less grain for the US. And a LOT less grain for Ukraine and Europe. Meanwhile Russian production and market share are soaring.

The US Department of Agriculture's latest report indicates a "worsening condition of the U.S. winter crop, deepening worries about supply in an already-tight market.

“In 2022/23, a draw down in global ending stocks is forecasted (down 5 percent from 2021/22) as consumption exceeds production. Major exporters’ ending stocks are projected 10 percent lower than 2021/22 and would be the lowest since 2012/13 at 54.5 million MT.”

Expected change in share of global wheat exports, 2021/2022 to 2022/2023:

Russia: increase of 20% (will remain market leader with 20% of global wheat export market)

Ukraine: decrease of 45% (will have only 5% of market)

#5 Russia and Ukraine together will still have about 25% of the global wheat export market, but the balance will go from 16-9 to 20-5 in favor of Russia over Ukraine.

Ukraine's economy is dying. If the war continues much longer Ukraine will be dead. All the valuable parts of the country are now controlled by the Russians -- the valuable farmland, the mineral and natural gas reserves, the industry and ports.

#7 Ukrainian grain production has fallen off a cliff. The country is finished. It's basically a ward of the American state, like Afghanistan was before we bugged out last year.

#8 Hard to produce wheat in the winter. Ukraine stores were stolen.
Ukraine wheat production will decline from 21 to 22.
Mainly because a Russian invasion destroyed the economy.

#9 You and your fellow Demorats can go pay for it with your own pocket change then. Not one dollar of American taxpayer money should go into this sinkhole
