The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining to create a “doom loop” for the world’s poorest people, as staple food prices soar.
At the same time as Ukrainian wheat issues with the blockade could be a really big issue.

Can we please not have silly jokes on a serious topic like global hunger?
This is one thing I don’t want from reddit
Can we please not banning silly jokes on a serious topic? That is one thing I don’t want from real life
I’m sorry if this disturbs you but free humour is one of the extremely important aspects of the internet that Lemmy needs to support. When you know who you are talking to you can avoid subjects that may hurt the other person but on the public internet this is not possible. The alternative to never dare making any joke because of the risk to hurt someone is dystopian.
Top comment isn’t even a joke, it’s a movie reference that supports the idea that this is a serious topic.
Mainwhile, Russia is actively engaged in the destruction of Ukraine wheat export terminals, and India remains silent.
India, Indonesia and the rest of non alignment countries do not need to enter this war set up by the West.
From what I read India and Russia are really old friends, that’s why India isn’t saying anything and they do lot of business.
Historical and political reasons too. USA keeps arming Pakistan with modern weapons, and they have a single target to use them on. It would be stupid of India to put all it’s weight behind US if that’s a one-sided affair. In an ideal world everyone would side with what is moral, unfortunately we don’t live in that world.
More than old friends. India is heavily reliant on russian arms. Replacing them would be a slow, expensive process. Considering it is surrounded on two sides by aggressors with regular conflicts, jeopardizing relations with Russia is not an option.

Its okay to support what Russia is doing, since they call Russians cockroaches and Asians inhuman. India is a supporter of BRICS and Russia.
This reads like an ironic shitpost. No one can seriously believe that one person saying mean things can rationalize an invasion that’s killing thousands and hurtsling food security for millions.
Nazi speak is “one person saying mean things”. Truly a fascist take.
I can point you towards many racist political figures throughout history who weren’t fascist. Racist is not the same as fascist. Sure, fascism usually requires creating an in group and an out group, but it’s also a lot more than that and needs to be larger than one person. Even if this person is a fascist, it still doesn’t even mean anything. He doesn’t have the political power to do anything fascist with.
Your pseudo intellectual hipster word salad does not detract from the fact that all of Ukraine’s institutions are very much Nazi to the core. Zelensky last year even paid homage to Stepan Bandera, Hitler army’s collaborator.
Yeah. All those damned Jewish Nazis in charge over there.
If you were any dumber, you’d be a doorstop.
Well, you are a doorknob for sure!

Honk more, fascist. This is why we call your ilk fascist, unironically.
Try harder.
I’ve always wanted all countries to ban staple food and water exports. If you can’t grow your own food and have your own water, you don’t need to have people living there.
A bit valid. Just rough for the people already living there that may not have chosen it
Could do a phased approach over a decade or so, rather then all at once. But the other thing is that places (like saudi arabia) that shouldn’t have near the population they do, are able to pay much more for food then somalia and so food growers in somalia would rather produce food to sell rather then feed their own people. So you basically shift the starvation to the food producers rather than the food buyers.
