    China has a huge reserve of it right now. The globe is gonna come begging them to bail everyone out and then the west will demonize them for it.

      They also have the worlds largest reserves of rice. China is second only to the US in maize production but, unfortunately like most countries, it is generally for livestock feed.

      India has stopped exporting grain, they don’t want to be the next Sri Lanka. Smart. I despise Modi and the BJP but much like Turkey under Erdogan (another despicable character) they have managed to position themselves very cleverly in this situation, very much playing both sides and looking out for themselves.

        Modi/Erdogan

        Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is your friend. It sucks, but US unipolar hegemony is the #1 threat to world peace (and due to the US role in climate change - an immediate threat to the planet). It must be weakened.

      It’s like that biblical story where Joseph stockpiles grain for 7 years in Egypt and during the famine his brothers who sold him into slavery come begging for just a little to eat
