Why is the media here in the US not reporting on the fact that grain prices are going to quadruple if sanctions on agricultural products and inputs are not lifted?

Do they want to see the whole world destabilized by a famine?

This is ridiculous.

The restrictions aren't necessarily on the import side. Even if they are, it's irrelevant since Putin has placed restrictions on the export side.
We need to open up negotiations on this point immediately. Arab Spring x 10k is about to hit the entire world, and the result will be 10k times as nasty.
