Imagine telling ancient Romans that Egypt is going to be the largest wheat IMPORTER... they would think you're joking.

It's crazy how Historical days seem pretty normal when you're living in one.

The worst part is that these people who are making political decisions will not suffer any effects of famine

This content is getting next level. Thank you for putting so much work into them. Just don't get all Vsauce on me and disappear at your peak!

It’s amazing that a KZread channel is FAR more informative than multinational news organizations with thousands of employees. Keep up the great work.

How easy it is to forget that our comfortable, everyday lives depend so delicately on the events of faraway countries.

It's hard to put into words how necessary viewing your honest factual work is. You're a modern historian. Hope all this is backed up and shielded somehow someway. ✨👍🏻🖤

Great video. Here in South America it is impressive how this crisis has been handled with so much ignorance. I believe that the combined exports of food from Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay could ease the situation in the Middle East or other parts of the world. And somehow our leaders and our people have greatly ignored such oppurtunity, even if simply from a purely economic perspective.

Europe (particularly Italy) is also suffering a massive drought. The Po river (the dominant water supply to the ONLY large plains in the country, which produce a vast part of all our grains and 40% of all agricoltural output overall) is down over

I'm super grateful that you cover the war so well and so often, And that its free to watch here on YT. Major respect!

This was always the problem with globalization, when someone throws a war, even if you're not invited, and you really don't care, you still get screwed.

Author, your speech is very clear and competently delivered, as a TV news anchor, my English is not at the highest level, but I understand almost everything without subtitles.

The other country to worry about is Sri Lanka, which is already suffering hyperinflation and massive food shortages, because they rely on Russian, Ukrainian and Indian grain, of which they can get none currently.

Thank you for your very interesting and excellently researched Videos :)

I love your empirical analysis of all aspects of this war. Even taking weather and natural disasters into account. That's a sub from me! Keep up the good work!

As an Egyptian this makes me truly sad. Egypt used to be the food basket of the Roman Empire in 210BC. Look how far we have fallen :(

Here in Romania, neighbour of Ukraine, the ukrainians brought a lot of their grain to store it in our silos so they are safe, and it is so much that our farmers won't have any storage space when harvest time comes. The only hope right now is that they will be able to sell their grain until autumn, but to be honest, I highly doubt it. Our crops might end up rotting in the fields as well as the urkainian crops.. God Help Us I guess.

Amazing job on 6,000,000 subs real life lore! Hope you get to 7,000,000!

Superb data and information in this video!
