Today we're talking to Ross Kennedy of Fortis Analysis about the food shortages and supply chain issues happening due to world events like COVID and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It seems the sanctions that the U.S. put on Russia have had little, if any, effect, and this move has only pushed Russia farther into the arms of China's CCP, which is helping Russia circumvent Western financial sanctions. We talk about the consequences of this and what the emergence of a China-led group of nations would look like for the world of the U.S. and its allies. Ross also breaks down what's going on in Grand Forks, North Dakota, where a Chinese company is trying to construct a corn-processing plant. The thing is, Grand Forks is also home to an important Air Force base. We discuss how Chinese companies are able to do this and why neither high-level Democrats nor Republicans seem to care about stopping it. Then, Ross explains what's going on in Shanghai and why the CCP is imposing such a brutal lockdown on so many people.
