Saudi Arabia and Gulf States worried about food, huh? Maybe they would all like to slash their oil production to stabilize that market in return?

Proxy, oil is about zero cents a barrel, I think oil production is not an issue. Now, if you want higher prices for your gas then that is your issue alone. As for food, most liberals are for shutting down the economy but NOT the food chain supply! These "people" need to risk it and get back to work! The meme of "I want my eggs and chicken" is a real one. The issue for Japan, is when these agricultural workers start to die off, then food becomes scarce and guess what? No more food exports, like Russia is doing. Japan is only 11% food self-sufficient. So, guess who is screwed?

Saudi Arabia illegally dumped a product on the market and they need to be held in account for that. It is not unusual for Russia to stop wheat exports, pretty common actually.

Japan has nothing to worry about as the US has included Japan in its circle of friend which includes Australia, and Canada which can easily supply Japan.

The Gulf States and Saudi Arabia can start becoming a force for good or go hungry.
