Is there a link between Western hegemony and inflation?The price of eggs in Russia is out of control

Mondo Finance Updated on 2024-01-31

According to Newsweek, this year, there has been an unprecedented spike in Russian eggs** as Western countries impose sanctions over Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, triggering high inflation.

According to the State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, eggs in November were 40 year-on-year29%, and by December it had reached 4616%。

In an article, the newspaper Muscovites noted that the actual number of eggs is higher than the data of Rosstat.

Before, I bought eggs for 70 rubles a dozen, but now theirs are between 130 and 140 rubles, which is twice as much", says 21-year-old student Ilya Zarubin.

Chala Evska A, a 76-year-old pensioner, said: "I was shocked!The change is terrible, not just for eggs, but for all goods. ”

Earlier the Russians said that "the boomerang of Western sanctions will hit the Westerners themselves", and we do not see anything about this;However, the boomerang of Russia's war against Ukraine has hit the Russians themselves to the letter, especially the ordinary people of Russia, who can't even afford to eat eggs.

The official ** in Russia had an explanation for the egg ***, as if it was a transformation of production, the flow of capital to a more profitable place.

But this is simply untenable, if it is said that capital flows in the direction of making money, then since the egg ** has increased exponentially, the profit should be even more considerable, why will the production of eggs in Russia not increase?

In fact, it should be Russian, and all the resources flow to the battlefield and to the military field, which will inevitably seriously affect the people's livelihood and affect the entire national economy.

In order to compete with the United States for world hegemony, the Soviet Union vigorously expanded its armaments and engaged in an arms race with the United States and the West, with the result that the Soviet Union's light industrial products were useless and there was a serious shortage of materials. In the end, although the satellite went into the sky, the red flag also landed.

What would happen if the billion dollars were spent on the lives of ordinary people such as eggs?

The lessons of the former Soviet Union are not far off, and Russia's current resistance to Western hegemony at all costs is not a repeat of the mistakes of the former Soviet Union?

In particular, this war in Ukraine, which has no chance of winning, should make Russia worse. It is said that on December 29, an unprecedented air raid on Ukraine was launched at once, and 122 cruise missiles of various types were fired at once, worth one billion US dollars.

What would happen if the billion dollars were spent on the lives of ordinary Russians, such as eggs?
