Chinese built up huge reserves of oil that they are not sharing with anybody, it's not a priority for them atm.
I think this is the goal of trump administration. Disrupt everything
Any republican using the word ' fraud ' is waited on for the punchline .
If the so called Proud boys and those like them were truly patriots they would take up arms Against the government .
We've been hearing about the fertilizer for weeks.
Just imagine if the United States had a government as honest as Mexico .
Yeah get that into ya
If there is a global food crisis, the USA must be ready. America produces its own energy. At best we get a very small percentage of energy out of that Persian Gulf area, perhaps maybe one percent. American farmers are the best in the world and the government needs to unleash American agriculture, mining operations for nitrogen fertilizer, so that if a crisis comes, America can feed the world and we can also profit from doing so.
Boss Baby caused all of this mess. Lock em up!!!!!
Wake up fools! Every jfk Dem knows maga is nothing compared to the deep state which controls the country. Tulsi gabbert office was raided by the Cia and jfk assination documents seized..which has no f jurisdiction in the uS! Look it up, this will soon be taken down. Dont let the the media lie to you.
Forget the us farmes, they cant sell their soya beans anyway, it is win win for then, they can now sit down and see Fox "News" all day long !!
GET OVER IT, NO FERTILIZER, WHAT A OUT AN BRILLIANT NEW CONCEPT…GROW ORGANIC, MOTHER NATURE THOUSANDS OF YEARS. AND IT SUSTAINED HUMANITY THEN AND WILL CONTINUE. STOP THE GENETIC ALTERATIONS. CANCERS KILLING PEOPLE>
TRUMP THE PDFILE.
EPSTEIN FILES.
Trump doesn't care. Republicans DO NOT CARE.
This President is incompetent ! Trump is a Russian puppet ! Call it what it is ! Trump is destroying America ! Please speak truth to power ! No time to soften the blow ! GET REAL !!!!!
Farmer will have to go back to horses and use green manure to fertilize the fields!🙁
I voted yesterday in Sacramento. Downballoted RED for Steve Hilton 😁👍👍👍
Fertilizers are bags of scientifically engineered chemicals , according to generation s of modern farmers. After three generations — I listened to my own father daily. He adored farming thr farm and herding his registered Hereford momma cows! Buy a bag of nitrogen chemicals hr put into a rake like box with claws and spreading it out after tilling up thr soil already, was to me as a kids awfully weird if the bagged of borough fertilizers smelled any worse ! To me nasty chemicals into thr soils if southern Colorado each year. My family raised livestock Ang farmed anf were planters of pots and oats and alfalfa for hay baked anf barley if Voors Brett was needed! Or wheat it oats ♥️🚼⛩️🏝️🥦🐝🌱🪵🎋🌵🌱
I heard this war has actually helped farmers. Their tractors used to only hold $500 worth of diesel. Now the same tractor holds $1,500 worth of diesel.
Didn’t the bible say on the last few weeks of earth there will be (Strait of Hormuz closing) famine, war (Iran war, and disease? (Hantavirus)
All part of agenda 2030. By design..
Shocker
WILL trigger
Every crisis can serve a purpose. Regenerative farmers do not use synthetic fertilizers and enjoy consistent bumper crops. But, I suppose, old farming practices die hard.
Is this the "Great" part?
Stock up NOW kiddies. It's going to be a Really Bumpy road.
Donald Trump has taken food out of the mouths of kids in the United states, he's stopped usaid from going to feed kids around the world. He has squashed the deal for selling soybeans to china for our farmers here in the United states. He definitely doesn't care about your farms worldwide, he definitely doesn't care about more kids not being able to eat.. This is all about himself and his legacy, nothing else.
Don't forget the Strait of Hormuz was completely open for all traffic until Trump started Epstein Fury who's to blame for This Global recession violating International Law and committing war crimes the United States of America and Israel
There is a Toll Charge for Ships that are going through the Strait . I think it is 2 million dollars for one ship. Poor nations will suffer.
Could?!? IS!!!
Elite are really trying to get eaten by americans, huh? How hungry are you, Americans?
Trumps system to eliminate the poor is working great.
45 million? Lol
I wanna know how they got to those numbers. 57-62% of global fertiliser supplies are offline this year. 😂😂
