I'm not American but did use to observe stuff there when I was a kid with a mild positive fascination, but yes those of us in the rest of the world have now been turned against America even if we were not like that in the past. One day however the game will be up, we can't yet exactly imagine how but there will come some kind of turning point.

Fertilizer prices went up "thanks" to sanctions on Russia.
And as for the grain prices, I read somewhere that Russia is deliberately dumping their agricultural products to inflame farmer protests in the west.
That makes sense. At these input prices, corn should be between $6 and $7. Right now it is in the low $4's. If this keeps up, farmers are going to go bankrupt nationwide and the Diversity run corporations will not be able to produce from the land.
It's more Ukraine that is affecting European farmers, especially in places like Poland where the farmers had huge protests focused on cheap imports from Ukraine.
It started with ukrainian grain flooding EU markets, after they waived custom duties, but Russia pounced on it driving the prices even lower.

Italy's Imports of Russian Wheat Have Increased Tenfold in a Year
The mysterious and sudden invasion of Russian wheat into Italy has been going on for about a year now: durum wheat in particular, which is transformed into pasta and then reaches the tables of Italian families. Since July 2023, the inflow of such foodstuffs from Russia has suddenly increased...

Or should we recreate the "economic impact of war" thread?

Excellent, thank you. I have a lot of friends in ag and the grain prices right now are destroying farms. Farmers, like all businesses, are on paper thin margins. If these prices remain in place, we will see a lot of farmers going under without some kind of govt. bailout.
Taliban has entered the chat
Apologies if this has been posted (I simply cannot stay current on the Israeli atrocities--it is not good for my soul). Yemen just busted a giant US-Israeli spy ring in their government that had been sabotaging the country from within for DECADES. They will purge the traitors and build a stronger government. Meanwhile Putin is on tour, making friends. Who can the US count on besides the UK and the countries it militarily occupies?

Safeguarding sovereignty: Yemen’s massive spy ring bust
Sanaa’s strategic takedown of a major US–Israeli spy network signifies a historic milestone in Yemen’s battle for autonomy, dismantling decades of foreign espionage and subversion to keep Yemen weak.

The "US" in US-Israeli is redundant.

I'm not very interested in the theatre that is global politics - but what do you guys think about the right-wing terms "US-IS" (ISIS), USrael and Jewnited States of America?
Israel is the tail that wags (whacks?) the dog. Like in that infamous movie Wag the Dog (1997).

Looks like Hezbollah is warning us to not get involved and for Israel to back down.
I prefer the term Jew S of Gay, because that is who controls the country.
Israel continues to make a mockery of international law and the "rule-based order" of the west.

‘Human shielding in action’: Israeli forces strap Palestinian man to jeep
Israeli forces tie wounded Palestinian man to a military jeep in an incident a UN expert condemned as human shielding.
I prefer the term JEOs over CEOs also

Just like in Jewrope really! Other side of the pond, same old problem (Jew). Have you guys seen the two Borat movies? I think you can learn a lot of things about (((their))) mentality and "sense of humor" if you watch these movies.
Israel is poking the bear. I'm surprised Israel isn't waiting until after the US election, so that no matter who is in power, that person is more free to send direct military support/troops to help Israel in this fight.
Nah, that's a Red Sea rotation. USS Eisenhower and one of its escorts already left the Red Sea and the Roosevelt strike group sails to take its place. Which in turn will be replaced, or reinforced, by the Truman strike group later this year.
The rotation itself is not surprising, but the details are odd. You see, Ike was scheduled to rotate with the Truman strike group back in April/May: they've already left the Red Sea, but the mission was extended and they sailed back after Houthis threatened to expand their operations. So the rotation was already overdue, and now instead of the Truman strike group, it's the Roosevelt that sails to take their place. So the first qustion is: what is the reason behind Truman's delay? Next, why did the USS Eisenhower left the area before the replacement arrived? USS Roosevelt is in the Pacific, it will take around a week for the strike group to sail to the Middle East. And what about Roosevelt's area of responsibility? With them gone, another carrier group (USS George Washington) will have to deploy to Asia ahead of schedule.
