Fed can’t stop Russian Invasion. Fed can’t stop China’s COVID policy.

Only a US President with some savvy has the ability to maybe alleviate those two gigantic influencers on inflation. First one would’ve been prevented had we kept drilling for oil here but China 🤷‍♂️.

It’s as simple as that. Fed has no handle on this situation

Russian invasion is the sacrificial lamb at the altar. America is insulated enough from Russia to not be affected this much.

The main reason for this inflation is due to central banks all over the world that printed literal truckloads of money during the COVID that is slowly making its presence known.

US wouldn't be emptying out the strategic petroleum reserve if it was so well insulated from the Russian War.
