Yeah. It's not very polite to go in and shoot their politicians etc
however, so they have got to solve it themselves. Life is tough.

Feed themselves? Heh! Most of the world would starve if we did that.
Just cut about 60% off of Europe's food production and go look at how
much Europe alone would have to import. Then see how much the US
production would drop, say 40-50% and work out how many billion starve.

And the would, you know. Well, after they ate the bullocks of course.
