USA asks Lithuania for eggs after Finland and Denmark, internet calls it ‘Door to door begging’

Your missing the point. It's less about eggs than it is at showing the world how durable and reliable USA is, that it can overcome every problem. The hilarious irony is what it is now showing is how fragile and weak the US has become now that it's alienated it's allies. Unable to even cope with a tiny egg problem because the world is turning it's back. I'm living in America and yet I'm cheering this on, so bizarre.

Tbf, eggs are perishable and thus not the ideal thing to transport for multiple weeks on a ship. There are multiple ptoblems here, not just the world turning its back.

"Bread". Did you know that Subway isn't allowed to call their sandwiches "bread" in Germany because it contains to much sugar?

Yeah, and I get that, but comparatively, it's very low volume of eggs/loaf. Even at the nearly 3x price hike we've experienced, it shouldn't make a whole lot of issues for bread companies. Sure, mayo would get hit hard but that's another thing that really shouldn't be that hard to live without.
What kind of bread needs eggs? Are you talking about cake and donuts? Even so, in many recipes, eggs can usually be replaced by things like linseed/chia, bananas, or bean water ("aquafaba"). I'd actually expect American food manufacturers to be price-conscious enough to have cut such corners a long time ago.

Surely it’s easier to import from land neighbours? Oh..you’ve pissed them off?

You might be floored to discover there’s an entire chunk of breads that involve eggs. Brioche and Challah are perhaps the best known.

Why are we asking for this? Just let the flu work itself out, deal with our costs, and focus on domestic production. Eggs are getting thrown out still. And those imports won't save anyone who's actually starving.

Donald Cuck and company probably think bringing down egg prices will solve all their problems.

I bet they're asking only to be able to say "see? Nobody helps us. Why should we defend them?"

It's so sad that the joke doesn't work in English.
(For readers who don't speak German: Testicles are called Eier=eggs in German slang.)

Trump right now: They do not want to send their eggs to us? Fine, I will just conquer them and send it by myself.
Cue Canadians and Mexican torching their farms as they retreat, Russian-style

Nah, the others must say thank you
In a not so funny note, egg prices in the U.S. are up 19,19% in February (month-on-month).
If you look in /r/conservative on reddit they have a completely different view. Prices are down according to them. If you check from November.
I can't be arsed to check because I don't care.That whole subreddit is a huge circlejerk, so small doses are required or you'll get nauseous.

Is there even an egg shortage? They stores where I shop usually have their egg fridges as full as usual, only more expensive

They’re full because they’re expensive. And they are expensive because there’s a shortage
