One of the disastrous consequences of Biden-era supply chain disruptions that are now being exacerbated by overseas wars and indirectly because of U.S. sanctions is that farmers are now seeing fertilizer shortages. The use of high-nitrogen fertilizers is a modern farming technique, but it often requires natural gas in the production process.

Samantha Power, a former ambassador to the United Nations under Obama, and currently an administrator of USAID under Biden, appeared on ABC News’

“Fertilizer shortages are real now because Russia’s a big exporter of fertilizer,” Power said. “And even though fertilizer is not sanctioned less fertilizer is coming out of Russia. As a result, we’re working with countries to think about natural solutions like manure and compost.”

“And this may hasten transitions that would’ve been in the interest of farmers to make eventually any anyway,” she crowed. “So, never let a crisis go to waste. But we really do need this financial support from the Congress to be able to meet emergency food needs. So we don’t see the cascading deadly effects of Russia’s war…”

So, if you’re following along, Power is simultaneously championing policies such as abandoning fertilizer, which will add to the already soaring food prices; meanwhile, she is also advocating for more ’emergency’ food aid. It doesn’t get any more transparently socialist than that.
