So you are going to tap dance around and not provide proof. Typical left wing tactics when you have been publicly proved wrong.

Could have been a stock photo from any date in time. Please provide proof or you are just lying. Prove it is not a Photshop altered propaganda picture.

Neither country involved is a threat to the usd...it's a serious reach to believe Russia has the clout for that...

Huh??? The conflict is/was a major inflation trigger.

We're well past "letting" the invasion start. There is no upside to us being involved in any way with Ukraine/Russia problems. Unless you're a politician with "interests" over there or a good ol' fashion war hawk.

The upside is that it maintains the US hegemony. We cannot possibly maintain the hegemony and simultaneously ignore Russian aggression.

Borrowing money from the fed to fund it definitely impacted inflation...but that's us printing to spend not Ukraine Russia hamstringing our economy

Borrowing from the fed caused gas prices to rise worldwide?

So you don't understand how a photo credit works.
You think that when a 174 y.o. news agency credits a photo to one of their photojournalists, they are lying and just using "stock photos" or "Photoshop altered propaganda".
Probably lying that the photo journalists work for them, or even actually exist on the planet.
One big huge conspiracy to try and fool you into believing that January 6 actually happened.

You are 100% clueless.
Got it.

I'd say the impact on food and oil prices contributed far more to inflation than the ~$64b we've funneled to the Ukraine over 2.5 years. I'm not sure if the ~$32b in drawdowns are included in that figure. To put that in prospective the US budget for 2024 was $6.75t with a deficit of $1.8t. Trump's Covid relief package was ~$2.3t.

Has anyone heard about nato authorizing bombing inside Russia?

I don't think it was bombing (as in bombs dropped from planes). Rocket attacks inside Russia using US equipment has been authorized. I'm interested to see if and how quickly Trump can solve this conflict.

Looks like you're getting sucked down one of THX's endless rabbit holes. As I posted earlier, facts, truth & context are the lens through which should view the world. Some people and organizations will do anything to distort that lens. Reminds me of the quote, "if you can convince a man he isn't a man, then you can convince him of anything." If you can convince people Jan 6th didn't happen or it was just a last minute tour of the capitol, etc, then you know you're dealing with some very pliable minds.

Indeed he is. I told him to stop engaging me in conversation. He ignored that so I am wasting his time.

The inflation ultimately was the fallout from the covid stuff. We were seeing the jump in food and fuel as result of a combination of supply chain issues, workers staying home and the ridiculous amount of money pumped into the economy during that time. Inflation was a serious problem before russia/Ukraine

And when they convince themselves, all is lost.

Like lemmings, they'll follow the leader right off a cliff.
