Here's some perspective that might explain things. Since the end of the cold war, the world population has gone up by about 40 or so percent.
Now, take the fact that currently Russia and Ukraine combined sell about 30% of the planet's wheat (among other shit). While there is war going on, it's sometimes hard to farm and ship shit. Now, the world has to make up for lets say 10% missing. Prices go up. People break deals to sell to other people. People that were getting from one, instead get from the other. Etc etc...
This issue will compound as time goes on. We haven't seen nothing really yet since it's not harvest time either. This is reality on how this can affect us. 30% of the global wheat in the world is at stake here. And who uses the most wheat? Poor people. And the poor will always suffer and the rich never will.
Putin has his bread and wants Ukraines too. And their ports and access to water. And their oil and gas. And he's not going to stop.
Sure but how much wheat does north America import from Ukraine?
Canada for example has a lot of wheat I assume the US does. Perhaps it impacts Euorpe, but I don't see a North American problem. Also grain can be stored in silos for years so I'm not sure how much there is in storage.
Let's not forget the Ukrainian Russian conflict has been going on since 2016.
I just don't buy this. Also most of the population growth is in third world nations.
