They can easily ask China and Russia (and realistically only those two can help massively). Likely they are too prideful tho

Can you elaborate? Because as it stands the US throws away 30-40 percent of its own food supply[1].

When Russia supplied free grain to Africa, because they couldn't sell it due to sanctions the West complained that accepting free grain would be "too dangerous a price to pay"[2]

Maybe read up where the Ukraine grain was destined to begin with[1].

It's really sad that over the last two years the once serious bloomberg became another mouthpiece of war propaganda.

Shipping free grain to places with food security problems actually does make the problem worse, because it bankrupts local farmers. It's fine in an emergency, but in general it's better to subsidize local farmers than to send food.

Yeah, of course. All famines and food shortages happen because the people faced with a shortage are to proud to ask for help... Rihjt...

Any other deep thoughts you want to share?

Sure, but they can also easily ask anyone. I don't know why it makes sense to shrug off that responsibility onto some nationalist bullshit.
