Oh look! Farmers are starting to think they might not plant anything this year thanks to the Iran "Skirmish"

[John Johnston]

Thanks Diaper Don. Sure is great seeing you look after the American public.

The fertilizer 'thing' is somewhat akin to the domestic price of gas, 'thing'?

Although the U.S. produces fertilizer and exports it ........... it relies on imports and domestic production together to meet the demand?

No grain-based (crop based) large scale farm can be efficient without replenishing the soil of nutrients, annually. 

There is a gargantuan, global supply chain responsible for the super-efficient  production of U.S. farms. (imports/exports) 

Global economy?

Your man is cratering the Global Economy. This is far from worthless. The world will remember this for many years to come.

Can you actually articulate a coherent argument?

How is the global economy "cratering?

How is Trump doing this?

Don't forget climate change is also driving up food costs, that's global as well. Chances are high we're heading into a significant El Nino for the upcoming year. Most of the last several La Ninas still saw record breaking high temperatures despite the cooling effect they normally have.

It'll probably be a banner year for Northwest Territories farmers.

Stop saying that. No such thing as a global economy. Global supply chain sure.

The so-called, global economy refers to the interconnected system of economic activities that occur worldwide, encompassing production, trade, and consumption of goods and services thru export / import.

Absolutely a fad. Has been for 80 plus years now post wwii. Look North America is a self sustaining hemishphere . We are self sufficient. You global fanboy need to get that straight. North America does not require any input from the rest of the world. America specifically, is also not globally exposed to trade outside of the western hemisphere.

Run your number again, exclude Mexico and Canada and the Petrol Chemical industry. Compare whatever you figure out to a 30 trillion dollar economy. Beg me to care .

Not as many as you would need to make a dent in American geopolitical decisions. 

So there you have it, less than 8% is how much America cares about the world. And way less when you divide it by individual countries. The math doesn't lie. America doesn't give a fck about your global economy.
