Yes, but the USD is not the driving factor. It's a coefficient, for sure.
I mean, yes, it's very concerning.
But what's even more concerning is the perspective of the consequences on the next few years. We'll perhaps get a difficult winter and social/political troubles because of that, yes.
But on the balance is: the current Russia powers overcoming this and succeeding to establish something completely different in Europe through war.
Plus the incertitude as to USA's support, provided that we now know they may as well elect something as disastrous as Trump in 2 years time.
- lazide 4y agoWell, it isn’t THAT different. Ukraine was part of the USSR after all, and it wasn’t that long ago that most of Eastern Europe was too - because of war. That Stalin wasn’t the most aggressive aggressor that started it THAT time being cold comfort for everyone under the Russian thumb. Europe has a long history of wars of conquest, extermination, religious intolerance, etc. We did recently have a nice sunny spell though.
