Why the Netherlands Protest is More Important Than You Might Think
Yes, dear Americans, that also includes you
You’re probably expecting me to open with a cliché this is about freedom, but it is more than that. It is about your very survival. Failure to back the Dutch farmers in the Netherlands means starvation. Not just for Europe, but the entire world.
I thought Ukraine-Russia was going to cause the famine?
The Ukraine-Russia war is causing grain prices to go up, mainly, and the yields of crops to go down from loss of fertiliser, as well as fuel prices to cause food prices to go up.
However, it would have meant food was unaffordable for people, not that the food was unavailable. The difference between only having overpriced Ferraris on offer versus no cars at all.
Why?
To understand why a tiny country smaller than most of Europe combined could cause the world’s food supply to fall to their knees, you need to understand how important the Netherlands is to Europe and the world’s food supply.
The Netherlands is the world’s second largest food exporter.
Quoting from Medium.com:
For starters, the flat land and fertile soil, coupled with a moderate climate makes for good farming conditions, where growing plants, crops and rearing animals, such as poultry and pigs can be done effectively and with relative ease.
The Netherlands went all-in on food production, making it an extremely important strategic asset for the globalists to try to control.
But Why Why?
Why is the tiny country of the Netherlands an absolute powerhouse in food production it is today?
Well, similar to Ukrainian history with the Communists and the Holodomor, the Netherlands got absolutely obliterated by the Nazis closer to the end of WW2, experiencing the Dutch famine of 1944-1945, where Nazi soldiers also seized food supplies from the Dutch farmers.
Despite the Allies and the Nazis agreeing to let the Allies supply food under Operation Manna and Chowhound to try to avert the crisis, Dutch people still starved, and those who survived were traumatised by the abject loss of food.
The Dutch swore that starvation would never happen again on their watch, and dedicated their entire industry to food production on a mass scale. The Netherlands produces and exports $101 billion dollars worth of food. For contrast, the US “only” produces $157 billion.
Small Guy Packs A Lotta Punch
United States is roughly 237 times bigger than Netherlands. Here it is for visual comparison - the Netherlands represents the ‘blue’ blob overlaid the US:
The best way to imagine the loss if the globalists were to ‘defeat’ the Netherlands is to imagine the whole of the US food production to be gone overnight.
But That’s Just Europe, Right?
Wrong. With a food production schedule that massive, you know the Netherlands exports everywhere. America imports Dutch eggs and cheese, and hasn’t America been having trouble with poultry and egg farms burning down as of late?
The Netherlands are also one of the largest investors in the United States, as noted by the US State Department:
The Netherlands is one of the largest investors in the United States, supporting an estimated 700,000 jobs, and the eighth largest importer of U.S. goods.
They’re also the receivers of a lot of investment from America, making them crucial to American infrastructure and economy, as BusinessWire comments:
The Netherlands is a fixture in the top five of the largest foreign investors in the United States, and maintains its place as the No. 1 destination for American investments. The US has a $30 billion trade surplus with the Netherlands, as it exports $59.3 billion to the Netherlands and imports $29 billion from the Netherlands. Top US exporters to the Netherlands include Texas, California, Louisiana, Illinois and Washington.
They are literally one of the few countries where you get a net surplus from them, rather than a net trade deficit.
If the Netherlands falls to the corrupt globalists, the whole world will suffer. The Americans, Europeans - all people - must back the Dutch farmers who are currently protesting. As for the gunshot? The Dutch police fired it at a teenager in a tractor. Tyrants all.
