      While true, without a drastic market squeeze, those who have the money won’t invest it into alternative options until the cost of the status quo is higher than the alternatives for a long enough time

        The fertilizer is the real issue from a blockade. A “squeeze” on food markets generally kills people.

          If memory serves, people tend to get overthrowy when their “leaders” allow them to get hungry. Not saying it’s a good thing for people to starve, just saying that something will have to give if we are to do better than the status quo.

            Issue is here it will not be the leaders that matter. Not isreal, not the us.

The starving people will not be overthrowing the nations involved in creating this issue, they will likely take it out on governments that did nothing but rely on international trade.

              You’re right. There is no way that this doesn’t end with Innocents getting caught in the crossfire. Ignoring all the Innocents that have already been caught in the crossfire of this and related political pissing contests or bullying
