Will the winter food shortages impact the US?

Or will the food shortages be mostly isolated to Europe and Northern Africa?

a food shortage in Europe and Africa will mean higher prices here. We won't be having any kinds of famines here, but expect food prices to rise.
The reality is that we're facing more a fertilizer crisis than anything else. Russia and The Ukraine are both major suppliers of fertilizer ingredients. Without fertilizer, crop yields in many places will be cut IN HALF. That's your food crisis.

That kind of what I’ve been expecting.
Biden was spreading a lot of food shortage fear today. I’m just trying to understand the nature of the prediction. Should I be buying sacks of dry beans and rice at Sam’s this weekend?

You should be doing that and planting victory gardens with plants that don't require fertilizer.
This winter will see higher food prices. NEXT year will see major shortages here.

It should scare the heck out of everybody that a large chunk of the Mississippi Delta is currently in a drought.
Throw in Kansas, Nebraska, and West Texas are in even worse droughts.
It’s not looking good.
For you city folk, that means the price you pay for your soy milk is going to go way up, and if you like a slab of bacon with it that’s going to cost you a ton too since the stuff grown in these areas also feeds livestock because well there is a drought and that means less hay production so ranchers have to buy feed to make up for it.

I don’t think we will be at famine levels like some 3rd world places will be for sure, but prices will be high as giraffe pussy here so save up

Don't forget that ethanol mandates are going up. That means more corn being devoted towards making fuel rather than being used as livestock feed or human food.

Yes. Admittedly the food shortages mostly don't have much to do with government policy or the war in Ukraine, however ... how about just plain ol' adverse weather in the US this year, from an endless run of heat and drought in Texas to flooding in the Midwest, and late-spring freezes in the Northern plains. Climate change, you reckon?

Because we’ve never had heat/drought in Texas or flooding in the Midwest before and still produced a shite ton more food than this country could consume.

Not anything comparable to this year. Houston just concluded a June with an record average temp of 86.9°, nearly a full degree above the old record of 86.2° in 2011. And this year we had just 0.14 inches of rain, just a tiny fraction of the nearly 6 inches which is the normal for the month. Something funny is going on.

Do you think there’s ever a year where it’s average heat and average moisture everywhere?
There are two reasons we’re dealing with food shortages and they’re both government-made.
1. Retarded Covid measures and our gov’t’s inability to mitigate the problems they resulted in.
2. Biden’s retarded sanctions on Russia and general stance on the war in Ukraine.

To your last point I really think people don’t understand just how much food we produce that goes to export. If there were a shortage it would impact those markets first and not ours. Don’t forget just how wasteful the American consumer and retailers are either.

Can’t believe anyone ever doubted it. Build back better plan has been a masterpiece.

based on previous actions by this administration, I don't share your confidence that we would slow down exports.

Prices across the board will go up this winter to the point of causing real problems for most people but food and energy prices will be everyone's focus
Unless we have some amazing improvements we will have shortages on many food items. I doubt we freeze or even limit food exports during this time so Americans will feel the hit so be ready.
If you plant a large garden, get some chickens (if they're against the rules/laws where you live, change the rules/laws now), and stock up you'll be fine. Work with your neighbors to produce food and you'll be better than fine.
