If the current inflation is caused by external forces like the war in Russia causing gas prices to increase dramatically and impact everything, are we likely to see a period of deflation in a year or two?

- dellIsBetter 4y agoDid you see the inflation going down drastically between the period of july 2014 and jan 2016? This is not about the oil only!
- cjbgkagh 4y agoThe price inflation on sanctioned goods will only revert after the sanctions are lifted. Sanctions tend to last a very long time, so it seems like it’ll unlikely any time soon.

- Borrible 4y agoWould love to see the war brought to ruzzia, not to Ukraine.
- cjbgkagh 4y agoI would not. I wanted this war to end before it started and I lement that many of my friends and family have now become blood thirsty warmongers. They see it as a chance to finally be a part or something fashionable and state sanctioned. An opportunity to openly hate where so much other hate is forbidden. I worry that we’re blindly and foolishly waking into a preventable WW3.
- Borrible 4y agoStill, no war in ruzzia, as in mikkergp's nonchalant statement. That there is a difference between ruzzia and Ukraine and ruzzia is denying this is the whole point of the affair. Beside, you can't bring the war to ruzzia, everybody knows, they will get away with their war crimes. They have nukes and they give a shit, plain and simple. Realpolitik.
- cjbgkagh 4y agoOh, I missed that, I read it as war in Ukraine. I'm guessing calling it the 'war in Russia' is an attempt at political correctness. Similar to calling Russia 'ruzzia'. I think my brain automatically converted both to the point I didn't notice either.
- Borrible 4y ago> I think my brain automatically converted both to the point I didn't notice either. So, there is a difference. Hopefully, some strong emotional biases have just affected your brain and not also your I.
- cjbgkagh 4y agoI find it difficult to follow your statement. Is that German grammar? I presume you're suggesting I'm under the influence of Russian propaganda.
- Borrible 4y agoActually I suggested, you demand a more rational approach regarding the ruzzian invasion of a souvereign Nation and at the same time imply things because of emotional bias.
