Unfortunately, with no side willing to back down, the future will be orange, for all. All empires eventually fall.
I read the article. Its just nonsense from Putin when speaking domestically. Like the speech Biden is doing right now on inflation. Total nonsense, meant to convince the mob that he knows what he's talking about.
The X scale is not marked well. The period between '20 and '21 is 2021. The dotted line. What do you think it is? Hint: it is not the date of Putin invading Ukraine.
inflation bottomed out when the COVID recession was in full swing into May-June 2020. After that the COVID recovery started up and it took some time but by the end of 2020/beginning of 2021 the supply chain began to lock up and freight rates increased. Shortages of workers at plants and logsitics meant that the demand was met with reduced supply and prices for everything from foods to materials started going up. the COVID recovery demand was stronger than anything seen in quite a while but also boomed within 6 months of a complete shutdown. No way oil production, manufacturing and shipping could keep up with that demand and 2021 was a constant mess of price increases. Anyone who thinks that prices magically increased on Jan 21st and ignores all the external factors is just a political hack. You saying Biden gets into office and he passed a law that said prices of imported goods must go up... Go look back at import surges and supply chain chokepoints and demand hitting companies still operating at 50% capacity because of COVID restrictions. If trump won in 2020 this would still have happened because it occurred worldwide not in the U.S. and had nothing to do with any of those two clowns. Like Biden is responsible for Asian covid policies and shipping logsitics and inflation in Latin America and Europe too? idiots
The Germans are scared and starting to cannabalize each other a bit. To think that just a little more than a month ago they they said they would not get involved, and then from there it evolved to the idea of just sending helmets. Now some want to fight them in the Ukraine so that they don't have to fight them in Germany type of thing, so send heavy weapons. Others are afraid that they won't have enough left to defend themselves. Send the weapons to Ukraine for gawd's sake. You guys keep the helmets and just walk around with those on. That foreign minister looks like she might be a sheet-kicker, but I digress. https://www.politico.eu/article/ger...baerbock-calls-for-heavy-weapons-for-ukraine/

Well it looks to me like the CPI started shooting up a few months after Biden's inauguration. Must be a coincidence.
