Why not compare to 1980s? The impact would be even larger! The end is nigh, in fact it's so nigh it's in the past already, the West should've folded 5 times over yet your family ran away from prosperity and wealth of Russia. Makes total sense, buddy

Imagine thinking you made a good argument here. It's obvious that a comparison from a year ago, or even seven month ago when the war started is relevant when discussing input costs for the industry. The west is literally folding over right now, but you keep on pretending everything is fine buddy.

Having lived through a collapse I can tell you that your life is about to get hard soon. So enjoy being glib while you can.

I'll enjoy seeing you seething and coping with false predictions every passing day. It must be hard on you to see every day proving you wrong but I'm sure you'll find another flag to move instead of actually doing something useful

Enjoy being glib while you can bud.
