    I guess we’ll see how inflation is in the next year. It’s cooled, but remember all that inflation is now baked into the system. Prices don’t actually go down when inflation does.

      This so completely irrelevant to what you said and I just told my prices are going down significantly.

          Yes, my mortgage rates have stopped rising and groceries are expensive but have stopped increasing for the most part.

          Do tell me how you relate this to a Russian success and European failure? Or are you just throwing around noteworthy hot topics in the hope it will make your original assertion less stupid?

            “Stopped rising” is not “gone down”, which only means unaffordable prices are going to stay unaffordable instead of becoming more unaffordable.

            Also I never claimed anything about Russian success. This is American success. America has successfully crippled two geopolitical and economic rivals. Europe is now reliant on the US for gas after the pipeline was destroyed (gee I wonder who did that!)

            Although now Russia has started to recover from the sanctions regime it is just accelerating dedollarization lol

              You claimed the sanctions we’re a failure implying a Russian success. That’s wrong, they’ve completely overhauled their economy, fucked their population and lost skilled professionals.

              Europe has only hurt itself was the other assertion but given the unity among members against the war I’d argue the opposite. It also convinced other nations to join NATO which is a complete failure for Russia.

              My grocery bills have gone down and I don’t know what to tell you regarding rent, my mortgage is fine.
