Sanctions on Russia
in War in Ukraine ·

It’s hard to say exactly how bad, but here in the US, they're already forecasting inflation north of 8% this year. Wheat prices are skyrocketing, and we're looking at massive shortages...
I don't know how much you guys actually realize, but even in places like Germany, you can barely find sunflower oil in stores right now—people are paying over $10 a liter on eBay! Seriously, go check it yourself if you don't believe me.
And don't even get me started on oil and gas. Diesel in Western Europe is hitting $2.50/L, and electricity and heating costs have absolutely exploded. This is going to bleed into every other sector because higher transport costs automatically drive up everything else. Families will have way less cash for vacations, so the tourism industry is going to take a massive hit too.
It’s just a vicious cycle that leads straight back to recession, business bankruptcies, unemployment spikes...
Stop being naive and thinking these sanctions are only hitting Russia.
Just checked, it's 4 euros a liter

And nobody's even buying it
