Or maybe it's because of all that food aid distribution that the US knows in particular why this is such a "free unicorn" move?
Where's China's matching contributions to food aid with all that just as good farm land that they're able to harvest twice a year?
That's the political bullshit getting in the way of this being anything but a free unicorn, the only country that gives as much to food aid as America is Ireland, and that's because of a national trauma they're still recovering from.
Right now major world powers are doing more to block food aid or even just regular food commerce, because that means Ukraine gets to have working ports and Russia no likey.
Get the fuck off your high horse about the one country that is already doing a lot because you don't like them being a dick about calling out how everyone else either isn't doing anything at all or actively making the problem worse for geopolitical goals.
