Previously, America alone took up about 210 million kg, which is increasingly falling. Roosevelt is anxious to get South America into his hand and thus into his boycott front. It's still boycott, tomorrow it can be Bloekade, the stacked powder can go off. Jewish solidarity, political desire for expansion, it's going to be the USA.
