I am sure that some on this thread are very disappointed with how things are developing and that we are not freezing our asses off over here.
Your country managed to deal with the crisis in a way better than many of the analysts anticipated. Good for you. For people like me, who are residing in third world nations, the main concern is to keep the inflation rates stable. A few years back, annual inflation rate was 3% to 4%. Now it has risen to around 6%, and the ongoing war has a made its impact. You may not be freezing your asses over there, but here we are struggling to cope up with the high prices for gasoline. Crude oil was trading at $40 per barrel two years back. Now the prices have more than doubled to $90 per barrel. Citizens of third world nations are paying the price for a war in which they are not playing any part.
