Without the Urea and Sulfur coming from the Strait of Hormuz to SEA, India, and Africa they can't make Urea + Ammonia Nitrate (UAN) and they can't make Sulfuric Acid out of the sulfur to make things like DAP and MAP which are all essential fertilizers used globally. This combined with an el nino monsoon season and spotty rains will result in a significantly reduced yields come harvest time in September for rice and wheat.This will create a mass starvation event starting in India due to a lack of rice and then in Northern Africa due to a lack of wheat which are the two staple crops that are most affected by the loss of these specific fertilizers.India's planting season begins June 1st. Tens of millions of farmers will instantly go bankrupt at the start of harvest season in September as yields wont cover the cost of the diesel that it would take to harvest the fields all across SEA and India and parts of Africa. By mid September there will be a mad dash to leave for the United States and Canada and the airports will start charging 100, 200, $500,000 for a plane ticket to Texas as they have long since ran out of Jet Fuel. Then the airports will be burned down by rioters who are starving in the streets.As the option to fly is removed mass caravans will form consisting of Indians and Africans who will go by boat (if they can find the Diesel) and by foot through Africa until they reach Northern Africa in places like Libya where they will starve to death as they desperately attempt to breach the borders of places like Spain by the tens or even hundreds of millions which will create a massive crisis in Europe as the growing anti-immigrant right seizes power and begins a ruthless campaign of expelling the invaders at the gates!
NO ESCAPE!!!Air India is cutting entire flight routes saying they are now unprofitable. Things are moving ahead of schedule, hopefully BILLIONS of shitjeets die horrible, agonizing, painful deaths of starvation!
>>534438112Finally the work of Norman Borlaug is being undone. Saving a billion lives is cool, unless they are shitskin lives
>>534438112WHERE ALL MY MALTHUSIAN NIGGAS AT?
>>534438590The funniest thing is reading Indian media, as their companies collapse in real time and as people start to kill each other at the gas pump the Indian media just says>everything is fine>everything is under controlthey have to say that otherwise they lose izzatthey will continue to say it even as the airports burn down from starving masses of rioters desperate to leave the shitholes shithole that is India.
>>534438112This is absolutely fan tastic I hope that every single shit skin world wide dies from starvation tonight.Literally 90% of global problems solved, just like that.
>>534438112Why would the h1bs in Texas try to go back?
You can't just pay an airline to drop you off anywhere.
only 10% of flights unfortunately
>>534439175Wrong shitjeet, the number currently sits at 386 (passengers in an international flight india --> US/Canada) * 120 (number of daily flights cancelled) = 46320 * 92 days = 4,261,440 shitjeets that will NOT enter the US/Canda in the next two months.
>>534438112SAAR NO PLEASE YOU CAN'T KEEP ME HERE IN INDIA PLEASE! IT'S FILLED WITH INDIANS!!
>>534438112Please..Please please die.All of them.
>>534438806yeah i actually fell for indian headlines last month but this news validates your theory and the future seems much brighter now
I work at a busy international airport so good riddance. I can't stand jeets stinking up the gates and baggage carousels. Wherever they gather in large numbers there's literally this sour curry miasma odor thst permeates the air. They also scam the shit out of wheelchair services too. You'll see like 70 shitjeets lined up sitting in wheelchairs farming izzat so they can juggad their way to a shorter customs line or priority boarding.

It gets better btw! The Indian rupee is also crashing so on top of jeets being unable to grow their own food they are also unable to import it! As a weak indian rupee is drastically raising the cost of imports!

>>534438112flights with h1bs will use USA's emergency fuel reserves
Unfortunately that's not their biggest airline.
>>534438112good
>Can't use chemical fertilizers for cheap anymore>StarveThis is funny and is only happening to thirdies, the USA outright throws away 40% of its produce, and our grocery stores throw away 30% of what reaches them.Basically thirdies were copy-pasting our methods of growing shit that we developed, said methods took years for them to learn and they have no idea what they're doing besides copying the white man. We can adapt overnight, they can't. For much of america farming is just culture, 4h's in every town, everyone has chickens and a garden, and this is just us having fun. Starvation is literally NEVER gonna happen as long as ypipo are in the USA because we just do that shit for fun, and certain ideological schizos have even exceeded factory farming's output without using any chemicals.Whites win again, we're just taking back what's ours (the food)
>>534438112Not my problem.
>>534438112>Cancelled international flights>jeets are contained their hellish subcontinentoh happy day! Now let's stick the ones in the west now on boats back to India then sink them
>>534446134Professor Jiang claims the majority of depopulation will happen in Africa and south east Asia (probably mostly India)
>>534446235Probably true, despite what everyone says much of the elite is disappointed with Africa and India. Those places are literal paradise if there's no brown people there, entire continents full of unproductive disgusting people is not what they wanted.And basically everywhere else can manage itself in a crisis, real asians? They'll be fine. South Americans? They can farm + have a lot of white people there actually. Yeah, Africa and SEAmonkeys are gonna depopulate hard.Also china has a super population crisis now anyway without starving, what with the lack of males and babies and all.
>>534442844It can happen just need to praise allah

>>534443332It's not gonna happen.Food won't magically appear by falling from the sky.Even if there's less food, so 3 billion people are starving, even if all 1 billion whites starve (which won't happen), 2 more billion of browns are going to starve anyway and nothing can be done about it.I guarantee you no white is going to starve and all browns are going to die before they even reach Europe.
>>534438112It seems I chose a bad year to stop growing potatoes at my dacha.

Reminder shitjeets have nukes retard. Human history hasn't really had a total collapse of a nuclear power before. Even the soviet Union was more of a transition compared to a literal mass starvation. I'm not exactly thrilled here.
>>534456597As if their missiles or nukes even work lol
>>534438112so they imported the somewhat sentient jeets as a preservation program and are now culling the rest of them?
>>534456651Bold gambit. When it gets bad enough, they will hold the world hostage with whatever they have.
>>534438112I guess I like Trump now. Fuck the browns.
I haven't laughed so much since Air India 171 crashed.
>>534456701You wont do shit poojeetYou will sit there and starve to death like the subhuman piece of shit you are!
>>534438112Trump is so fucking based. Keep firing the missiles Iranians. I hope Trump sends marines in and Iran send drones at more oil fields in the middle east. $500/barrel oil can't come soon enough.

>>534456853>>534456941Not an indian, but you're retarded if you think a literal total famine of a nuclear power isn't a bad thing.
>>534456701>"Uhh, if you dont let us make the world gross, ugly, disgusting, full of shit and not worth living in, we will shoot the nukes SIRRR!!"Their existence is a blight on this planet. In the future we will have mosquito drone swarms that will hunt down jeets based on rapid gene testing and poisoning jeet positives.

wtf I love trump now
>>534438964> if you travel on the roof, you can drop off anywhere you want, he thought
>>534456701Nah, china will deal with them especially if they think they'll actually use a nuke or something. And yeah we do like shitting on china, but they're 1000x more competent than the jeets. And with wave attacks they probably could take india.
>>534457128Oh they did, they killed the baby girls and kept the boys to work, only the "well off" had the luxury of raising daughters so now they get cats and lizards raped to death and everything else raped/cummed on

India is a blight on this planet and the only people who think otherwise are Indians.>muh nuclear powerGiven to them by the west. Maintained by jeets. Even if they're functional, what's the play? They're starving so they're going to try and nuke countries that aren't? Yeah, that's definitely going to help you get fed and not trigger a retaliation that makes famine look mild.Even if a missile hits the US (it can't), you'll hit California and the other 49 states will be happy. Then we'll turn your entire subcontinent into glass and the world will rejoice.

FACT CHECK1. Fertilizer Shortages & Strait of HormuzStatus: Real Risk, Exaggerated Scope The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint, with about one-third of global seaborne fertilizer trade passing through it. Since the conflict in Iran escalated in early 2026, the strait has been severely disrupted, causing urea and ammonia prices to spike by roughly 30% . This has forced some production shutdowns in India and Egypt due to lost gas imports . However, the claim that India and Africa "can't make" fertilizer is false. India is a major producer with domestic reserves, and while the disruption creates a severe price shock and supply bottleneck, it has not halted production entirely .2. El Niño 2026 & MonsoonStatus: High Probability Risk Forecasts indicate a strong El Niño is developing in 2026, coinciding with the Indian monsoon season (June–September) . Historically, El Niño correlates with reduced rainfall and heatwaves in India, potentially lowering yields for rice and wheat by 5–12% . While this poses a serious threat to food security and could drive inflation, India maintains strategic grain reserves that make an immediate, total famine unlikely without total policy failure .3. Economic Impact: Rupee & FlightsStatus: Verified TrendsCurrency: The Indian Rupee has weakened significantly in 2026, trading past 93–95 against the USD due to high oil import costs and capital outflows . This increases the cost of importing food and fertilizer.Flights: Air India and other carriers have cut up to 10% of international flights and raised fares due to soaring jet fuel costs .Exaggeration: Claims of airports burning down or ticket prices reaching $500,000 are hyperbolic. While disruption is real, a total collapse of air travel infrastructure is not supported by current data.
>>534438112Can't poop be used to fertilize crops or nah?
>>5344634944. The "Mass Migration" NarrativeStatus: False / Speculative The idea that hundreds of millions of people will walk from India to Europe is logistically impossible. The post ignores border controls, military presence, and the sheer lack of infrastructure for such a movement. Even in a severe crisis, migration would be limited to those who can afford it or reach specific borders, not a mass caravan . The post's rhetoric relies on dehumanizing slurs and calls for genocide, which is hate speech, not factual analysis.SummaryThe post uses real data points (fertilizer disruptions, El Niño, currency weakness) to construct a catastrophic fantasy.True: Supply chains are strained, prices are rising, and the monsoon is at risk.False: Immediate mass starvation, the total collapse of the Indian state, and a mass migration wave to Europe.
>>534438112not my problem, we asked for help opening the strait and the world laughed.
>>534438112>Without the Urea????
>>534438112It’s the perfect 4chan post. Everyone hates Indians, and niggers aren’t going to read all the way to the end, so there is something for everyone and a little extra for white dudes.Also, that’s how I know it’s bullshit. Africa starves first, 100% of the time.When Putin made his play in 2022, India suspended all non-Basmati rice varieties, mainly to ensure the domestic population could eat. These cheap rice varieties—afaik are still not being exported from India— are essential staples in SUBSAHARAN Africa. Maybe you put the squeeze on Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, etc, but those people are a resourceful bunch and historically have strong ties to the USSR or the UK. Ties which are genuinely meaningful. Regular Africa nigs are going to die in the highest numbers, that’s a rule of the continent. They can’t plan shit.
