Most developed nations have a 3 year food supply and China is still at less than 2 years. That's why they're buying so much from Brazil and Argentina. A few agricultural pundits say it will take them another 10 years of aggressive grain purchases to catch up with the rest of the world. Now if they're willing to cull a large portion of their population, that could change. I know for the longest time our biggest export was gasoline to China. For years we wouldn't send them crude oil

Before Trump. They were starting to manifest heavily during his term. Probably a big reason why he tried to bring manufacturing back home. That and economic activity for service sector jobs is less than $2 per dollar spent and manufacturing is over $7 per dollar spent. The stage was set for this scenario long before he took office

The supply chain issues started under Trump. These issues started way back when with policies that enriched multinational companies. That's the biggest issue with running everything through game theory, it's very short term in nature

Ukraine as well. I don't trust either side of this conflict. It's like 2 mob bosses fighting and we would do well to stay out of it

It's a good book. Very short, easy read. I highly recommend it. He predicted the war with Japan years before it happened
