Since the beginning of 2020 and the covid pandemic, lockdowns and restrictions caused havoc in the supply chain, and stimulus checks over the past two years, has driven up inflation to new heights.
However, it was not until the Russian invasion of Ukraine that things really started to take a nosedive and now the whole world is looking at facing one of the worst global financial crises since The Great Depression – and we all have Boris Johnson to thank for it.
Early on during the invasion, both Ukraine and Russia were open to peace talks, which could have ended the war as early as April – except The United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson, interfered with the talks and they ended in a dead end.
Originally Ukraine had agreed that Russia would control part of the Donbas region and all of Crimea, at which time Russia would withdraw troops and in exchange, Ukraine would promise to not join NATO.
During this time of negotiations, Johnson made a surprise visit to Ukraine President Volodymir Zelensky, and three days after Johnson left, the peace talks had completely crumbled.
The war between Ukraine and Russia has already cost Americans billions of dollars and it is well known at this point that it is only a matter of time before Ukraine is defeated by Russia.
So, while you can barely fill your car up and heat your home this winter, turn a thought to the people who prevented all of this from coming to an end – and it wasn’t Putin.
