Well stated.  Though, we certainly have the vast natural resources in the United States to potentially "go it alone" for some indeterminant time with regards to grain production and even energy.  Not many countries can legitimately state this, and despite the radical grain disruption in supply chains out of Russia and Ukraine, the food spikes are largely inflationary and global trends, not reflective of some constraint in United States supply.
