Is a “Wheat Crisis” Next as Ukrainian Grain Shipments Halt?

Food instability could be a major side-effect of the War in Ukraine with Middle Eastern countries (like Egypt) and China (which can barely feed itself in the best of times) hardest hit.  

Hungry people make for angry people. In the US the combination of inflation, high gas prices, and high food prices should contribute to a "Red Wave" in the 2022 midterms. But what about places like China, Egypt and elsewhere? People in those countries may revolt because they can't feed their children.

The political ripples from the War in Ukraine are only just starting.
