To avert a global food crisis, arm Ukraine

Due to the Russian blockade of Ukraine’s seaports, the global food market is on the edge of collapse and a step away from catastrophic global hunger. These days, there is plenty of discussion about how to deliver Ukrainian grain to other countries.

However, it is cheaper and more effective for US taxpayers to provide Ukraine with the necessary weapons to rapidly unblock Ukraine’s Black Sea ports rather than face high inflation in the United States and hunger riots in various countries in Asia and Africa, which could be triggered by disruptions in the global food supply chain.
