Bloomberg ran a story yesterday headlined, “US Quietly Urges Russia Fertilizer Deals to Unlock Grain Trade.”

Hahahahahahaha!

It’s another Biden special. Here’s what happened: first, the US and the EU passed this gigantic package of sanctions against Russia, with draconian penalties for people and companies who break the rules. With me so far? But the governments carved out a few exceptions — including for fertilizer — since it’s almost impossible to get the stuff from anywhere BUT Russia. Then, US officials were “taken by surprise” when American companies stopped buying Russian fertilizer, because they are quite understandably scared to get fouled up in the massive new sanctions laws and their awful civil and criminal penalties.

Understandable to anybody except experts, I mean. Nobody in government could have seen this coming. Especially not Mr. Magoo, I mean Joe Biden.

So now, to avoid mass food shortages, the government finds itself having to “quietly” and desperately encourage companies to buy Russian fertilizer. In other words, THEY’RE HELPING RUSSIA SELL ITS PRODUCTS. Genius!

Everything Biden does causes the exact opposite of the intended result.
