“ And to think, this could all have been avoided but for NATO’s aggressive poking of the bear and the US refusal to negoriate.”
The “poking of the bear” was accelerated when Kamala gave a speech in Poland, hinting that NATO would take in Ukraine. She KNEW that NATO had o plan to admit Ukraine, but lying is OK for the left, even when it leads to war.
US not only discourages negotiation, but is sending massive Mounts of printed, inflation increasing, money to Zelensky.
NO plan to admit Ukraine into NATO
massive amounts of money to Zelensky.

The situation is this: those people to whom the money comes first now have a higher income, and they can still buy many commodities and services at prices which correspond to the previous state of the market, to the condition that existed on the eve of inflation. Therefore, they are in a very favorable position. And thus inflation continues step by step, from one group of the population to another. And all those to whom the additional money comes at the early state of inflation are benefited because they are buying some things at prices still corresponding to the previous stage of the exchange ratio between money and commodities.
But there are other groups in the population to whom this additional money comes much, much later. These people are in an unfavorable position. Before the additional money comes to them they are forced to pay higher prices than they paid before for some — or for practically all — of the commodities they wanted to purchase, while their income has remained the same, or has not increased proportionately with prices.
You are in the other group.
