(Natural News) Many people seem to falsely believe that the Russia-Ukraine conflict will remain isolated to Europe and not affect us in any substantial way here in the United States. This is a grave error, however.
America and many other countries, for that matter, are already facing one of the worse energy crises since the 1970s. And it turns out that Russia is one of the world’s most important energy producers.
Energy prices are now soaring all around the world, which is affecting logistics and food production. It is becoming prohibitively expensive for many people to heat and cool their homes as well.
“Normally, Russia and Ukraine export vast quantities of food to the rest of the world, but the war is going to change that,” reports The Washington Standard‘s Michael Snyder.
“We really are facing a horrifying breakdown of our food and energy systems, and that is going to affect every man, woman and child on the entire planet.”
The military-industrial complex is blaming Russia’s invasion for soaring food prices here in the U.S., even though inflation has been through the roof for at least the past year. Clearly there is some other cause for which the war situation is being used as cover.
The Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) plandemic, we are told, is what started the whole thing. But which came first: the plandemic or the unraveling of the current corrupt system, which was probably going to happen anyway?
The global food supply is crumbling
According to Snyder, Russia and Ukraine together produce about 25 percent of the world’s wheat crop. The escalating war situation will almost certainly disrupt the export of this staple food.
Billions of people around the world rely on this wheat, which is used to make bread, pasta and various packaged foods. They also rely on barley sunflower seed oil, and corn, which are also grown and made in Russia and Ukraine.
“So if exports from those two warring nations are reduced or completely cut off, how are we possibly going to replace that output?” Snyder asks. “Does anyone have an answer for that?”
There is no answer other than perhaps this is the Four Horses of the Apocalypse riding one by one. In other words, there may be no stopping this prophetic scenario from continuing and ultimately being fulfilled.
“Together, Russia and Ukraine supply 29 percent of all wheat exports and 75 percent of global exports of sunflower oil,” said Kelly Goughary, a senior research analyst at Gro-Intelligence, an agriculture data platform.
Much of the world’s fertilizer also comes from Russia, which is cutting off exports for the current growing season. This is a really bad situation for the rest of the world outside of Russia.
“Previously, I have written about how global agricultural production is going to be down all over the globe in 2022 because fertilizer prices have started to spiral out of control,” Snyder says.
“In fact, in Africa alone it is being projected that enough food to feed 100 million people will not be grown this year because of the outrageous cost of fertilizer.”
Even The Washington Post admits that the world is “headed for a supply crunch that will be hard to resolve.” In Snyder’s view, this is a massive understatement.
“Even before the war erupted, some types of fertilizer had doubled in price, some had tripled in price and some had actually quadrupled in price,” he writes. “Six months down the road, we are likely to see food riots all over the globe.”
The energy crisis will only exacerbate the problem, making it difficult to produce fertilizer, food and other components of the global food system – not to mention consumer goods and everything else that people rely on in order to live.

Have you received Salvation from Jesus the Messiah? Time is running out. Jesus will return very soon. The signs of His return are everywhere in this crazy world we are living in. Please read below so that you can be saved. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. The Words below are directly from the Bible, so you can trust them.
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:16-17)
If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all )is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:9-13)
“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. IF YOU KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. (John 15:9)
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)
For those of us who persevere and do what Jesus says to do, we have this to look forward to in eternity: And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
