  1. Ford EMALS are tested and proven while the Fujian EMALS have never even been used. The Fujian can't hold as many planes, It hasn't even been proven it can use it's EMALS when underway. It can't travel for more than 15 days without refueling. Satellite photos have shown cracks in it's flight deck. It hasn't even moved in months. How is the Fujian comparable to the Ford?

  2. Brazilian agriculture is driven by fertilizers. If you look carefully you will see that 80% of world fertilizers are produced by Russia and China. China has stopped exporting all of their fertilizers and are hoarding those fertilizers for their own agriculture industry. Russia is under sanctions and it's exports of fertilizers are also being cut by the government. Germany, the largest producer of Nitrogen based fertilizers has stopped production because of a shortage of natural gas from Russia. This leaves Brazil facing a shortage of the fertilizer it needs to produce crops. This means a further collapse in the Country's GDP and Very little corn for China. China on the other hand is having a major crisis of their own. With all the weather disasters China has faced this year, the destruction of it's agricultural crops including Wheat, Rice, Soy Beans, and Corn has been devastating. The elimination of China's major supplier of Wheat imports(Ukraine), and the worldwide shortage of available Rice for import along with China's voluntary massive reduction of Corn purchases from the US means that not only will there be a severe shortage of grains for consumption but also a shortage of feed for their Meat animals which will cascade into a shortage of meats for consumption.
