England is subsumed inside the United Kingdom, which has assigned its independence away to NATO, in effect to the US.

As a rsult, due to unnecessary and growing war, Europe is facing starvation.
Europe is short of food, of fuel and, despite that, keeps creating self-destructive sanctions against Russia.

Fuel shortages are already here.

Fertilisers trebled in price, and farmers couldn't afford them. Harvests are half what they were a year ago.

The UK government with DEFRA is running anti-farmer campaigns, and food production is under pressure. Food prices keep rising.

Imported food is under threat with Ukraine blockaded at sea and by land. Trains are knocked out. Ships blockaded. Only trucking is left and the capacity is too small, with Ukrainian gas stations being systematically being knocked out.

The world is facing starvation. Iran and China will get grain from Russia. Africa especially is facing starvation.

Only the English Democrats have a policy of maintaining peace, of ending the sanctions, or negotiating with Russia based on Russian proposals. Since 2022.

Similarly with Iran and China. Trumpian lunacy must be ended as soon as possible.

England faces catastrophe brought on by the policies of consecutive governments. There is still a death wish in our government and primary opposition parties.

Already in some locations diesel is no longer available. Food prices are already rising rapidly. The full crisis has yet to hit home, or be announced.

Prepare in any ways that you can.

Welcome to Thursday's edition of The Duran Daily. The front is being called “static,” but not so fast.

Russia is tightening the pressure on the battlefield, Ukraine’s weapons stocks are running down, four bags of cash are raising uncomfortable questions in Kyiv, and Lavrov is warning Britain that there are consequences to crossing the line into direct participation.

Meanwhile, the war is reaching into something a lot closer to home: food, fuel and the price of keeping the whole system running.

Food Crisis: How the Russia War Could Hit Your Dinner Table

Fertiliser shortages, disrupted grain exports and sanctions threaten to push food prices higher from Europe to the Global South

Global food production is facing mounting pressure as unusually hot weather in the Northern Hemisphere combines with growing shortages of fertilizer, fuel and agricultural supplies. Fertilizer availability has become a central concern because Russia and Belarus, both major producers, have faced Western sanctions since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict.

Efforts to restore Russian fertiliser access to global markets were linked to the 2022 Black Sea grain agreement, but restrictions were not fully eased. The result has been a prolonged disruption to supplies at a time when agricultural economies remain heavily dependent on fertiliser and energy.

The crisis has been compounded by developments in the Persian Gulf and the Black Sea. Conflict in the Persian Gulf has disrupted another major source of fertilizer, while Russian diesel exports have also fallen following attacks on Russian refineries.

Diesel is essential for harvesting, transportation and farm machinery, creating another potential bottleneck as harvests begin.

Ukraine's attacks on Russian grain ships in the Sea of Azov were followed by a Russian blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea coast, halting major Ukrainian grain exports. Reports indicate that as much as three quarters of Ukraine's harvest could be lost.

Restrictions affecting Russian shipping have also reduced Black Sea exports, although Moscow can redirect cargoes through other ports.

The consequences could extend far beyond Russia and Ukraine, particularly across the Global South. Egypt, India and other countries dependent on imports from the two major grain producers face higher prices and potentially tighter supplies.

Rising food costs have historically contributed to political instability, raising concerns that shortages could produce renewed tensions and migration pressures. There is also speculation that the disruption could serve broader geopolitical objectives aimed at weakening BRICS and destabilizing countries increasingly aligned with the bloc.

No evidence establishes such a coordinated strategy, however, and another explanation is that Western governments have simply allowed geopolitical priorities and sanctions policy to override concerns about food security.

Russia is likely to remain comparatively resilient because it is a major food and fertilizer producer and can redirect exports toward Asian, Arctic and Pacific routes. Higher prices could even increase Russian export revenues while European and developing economies absorb greater costs.

China and other Asian buyers are likely to secure much of the available Russian fertilizer if European restrictions remain. The United States has greater capacity for self-sufficiency but faces a weaker agricultural position than it had decades ago and may also depend on imported fertilizer.

The central question is whether governments will reconsider policies that restrict Russian agricultural exports. If they do not, higher food prices, inflation and political instability could become an increasingly significant consequence of the wider geopolitical confrontation.
