This was easy to predict. There was no avoiding this type of thing considering what happened with the virus hoax and now the situation in Ukraine. It has spawned out of control inflation along with supply issues.
This is only going to get worse since the West is not giving up their idiotic sanctions on Russia nor are they attempting to negotiate in good faith with them. Instead, they’re sending in more weapons and trying to prolong the conflict. The measures imposed over the virus hoax also have not completely gone away. They’re still lingering in the background.
The end result of this is going to be mass starvation throughout Africa and a substantially reduced standard of living throughout the West.
