/ world today news/ On Tuesday, May 11, the price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in the United States reached a new record high of $4,404. A symbolic number. Desperate attempts by the US to solve its problems through another “small victorious war” are persistently pushing the former hegemon into the abyss.
Forward to the past
The fuel price counter in the US continues to spin, the arrow creeps up. According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), fuel has risen in price by an average of one and a half times over the year. So, the price of a gallon of mid-range gasoline today is $4.752, while last May it was $3.31 a gallon. The price of diesel rose over the same period from $3,125 to $5,553, also the highest since the 2008 subprime crisis.
U.S. price increases are widespread: energy prices rose 11% in March 2022 alone. The price of gasoline rose by an average of 50% during the year, but the sharpest jump – by 18.3% – occurred in March, after the start of the military conflict in Ukraine. Food prices rose 8.8% year-on-year and 1% month-on-month, with the largest increases at 10% for cereals and bakery products, 13.8% for poultry, fish and meat, 8.1 % for fresh fruits and vegetables, and for eggs – 11.2%.
Putin is to blame, as always
According to the consumer price index for March 2022, inflation jumped 8.5% from last year, Fox News reports. This is ruining the incomes of American citizens. Rising oil prices will force the average American household to pay $3,000 more for gas and groceries than it did in 2021, according to US consulting firm Yardeni Research. This means that the war organized by the US against Russia on the territory of Ukraine will hit the average American harder than the Covid-19 pandemic.
Of course, the Biden administration has traditionally blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for impoverishing his countrymen. The White House even released the hashtag “#PutinPriceHike” and promised that President Biden would do everything possible to protect Americans from “gas station woes.”
„I want every American to know that I take inflation very seriously.” Sleepy Joe assured his fellow citizens in his speech at the White House. “This is my top domestic priority.” However, fellow citizens do not particularly trust their president. “President Joe Biden is the cause of the disaster,” the president’s countrymen from Delaware consider. They shared their experience with Fox News. “President Biden will have the same legacy as Jimmy Carter,” predicted one of them.
The Curse of the Rabbit
We remind you that Jimmy Carter is considered one of the most “unsuccessful” presidents of the USA. His tenure ended with a spike in oil prices and hyperinflation in 1981, and his political career was cut short by the unfortunate rabbit incident that Jimmy had the imprudence to hit with a fishing paddle.
“Not even a rabbit is afraid of our president,” the newspapers wrote. The pages of the publications were filled with caricatures of the person struggling with the unfortunate animal. The next presidential term was to be forgotten. Unfortunately, the current president also had a story with a rabbit, this time with an Easter one. A video of Joe Biden getting scared by a man dressed as the Easter Bunny has gone viral.
The White House’s desperate attempts to coddle the increasingly failing regime in Kiev will bring the Biden administration to its final collapse. The President of the United States admitted that all the accumulated reserves in the White House have already been spent: “This is an urgent matter. We have already exhausted the resources previously provided by Congress to support Ukrainian fighters.
Another “help” for Kiev in the amount of 40 billion dollars cannot come from “nowhere”. The US economy is increasingly looking like a soap bubble.
„Their printing press, which is why America keeps increasing its already bloated national debt, will break even faster. Not to mention the insane prices of gasoline and food, for the rise of which Americans have to thank their Russophobic authorities. But the goals of the special operation will be achieved,” Dmitry Medvedev commented on the situation.
It is clear that US military aid to Ukraine, which is essentially a long-term investment, has a chance to pay off only if the regime in Kiev wins. But the achievements of our armed forces nullify this possibility. This means that America is in for much harder times, and the incident with the Easter Bunny will become symbolic for Biden as well.
