WHO’S CRAZY ENOUGH TO DELIBERATELY CUT OFF 10% OF WORLD WHEAT SUPPLIES, ON TOP OF 20% OF WORLD OIL?
The City of London and Wall Street, that’s who. Over the last week, the twin wars in Ukraine and Iran have each escalated and spread dramatically. On London’s command, Ukraine has launched a growing barrage of drone attacks on Russian ships in the Sea of Azov, the gateway for over a quarter of Russia’s grain […]
