    This crisis pre-existed the war and the pandemic, and dates back to at least 2008. It seems to me that there are more “structural” issues and that it is not all fault of an external enemy like media rhetorically proclaim, i.e. the west was already collapsing under its own weight. What baffles me is how the dominant class are not only blaming a single man/country (of course external) but also trying to make the cost of their war be paid by the poorest and most defenseless people (e.g. cutting social welfare to raise funds or leaving the poorest countries to starve as for the grain deal). I was told that I am pointless and “nuts”, but I would like to have an open discussion. So please do not insult, counterargument.

      I think you are absolutely right. But the failed economic and proxy war on Russia has definitely accelerated and exacerbated the already ongoing crisis.
