The food supply reduction globally during a strong El Nino year can be staggering
Happened in the 1970's with a strong El Nino to...... Russia, but that also included Ukraine's harvest. The 5 major international grain traders were cutting deals before the US approved shipment. A certain amount had to go in US ships. Old WWII era tankers were converted to haul grain by cleaning the cargo tanks and constructing plywood "rose boxes" around the cargo pumps in the bottoms of the tanks. A high school friend's tanker made one voyage.

Ukraine got bombed to shite yesterday. Footage of Kiev and Odessa shows nothing but plumes and billows.
Since Judenrat's 40 day campaign, Russia has no shortage of viable targets now. And he landlocked Ukraine.

This war can’t be helping production either.
Do you know the impacts of a strong El Niño on US farmers? Is it a positive or negative?

I think for the US it's more about preparing for expected shifts in usual temps and conditions. You can't use the same playbook in an El Nino year. The US is so big that in some areas yields will actually go up and in some go down.
The diesel supply is a big one to watch too because it's trying to the point where countries are going to be in competition for diesel. Doesn't matter how much you can grow if you also can't harvest it, so that would hit farmers on multiple sides potentially

Is the US short on diesel? I don’t think so. I think there are some logistic issueds and of course the price is high, but I don’t think there are shortages.

In the past we had good harvests, at least in the 70's strong El Nino.
The US exports 4-5 million barrels of diesel a month to Brazil. They aren't getting it from China or Russia, maybe some from India.

The US has never been short on diesel. We have always exported it. We keep South America supplied with diesel. It's only a little more than the last decade that diesel exports have soared to Europe. The big thing now is China was reliant on Iranian crude oil so the have banned diesel exports. Europe was getting diesel from there and India to replace sanctioned Russian diesel

No we are good there, that was more a comment on potential global impacts

So, my question is: do these intelligence officers operate alone or do they get orders from Putin? And I can tell you: they get orders from Putin."

True, global impacts from the war and the Iran war are targeted on global supplies. Fortunately we aren’t suffering from shortages of diesel or gas like we were in the Jimmy Carter days.
