"Stopped rising" is not "gone down", which only means unaffordable prices are going to stay unaffordable instead of becoming more unaffordable.

Also I never claimed anything about Russian success. This is American success. America has successfully crippled two geopolitical and economic rivals. Europe is now reliant on the US for gas after the pipeline was destroyed (gee I wonder who did that!)

Although now Russia has started to recover from the sanctions regime it is just accelerating dedollarization lol

You claimed the sanctions we're a failure implying a Russian success. That's wrong, they've completely overhauled their economy, fucked their population and lost skilled professionals.

Europe has only hurt itself was the other assertion but given the unity among members against the war I'd argue the opposite. It also convinced other nations to join NATO which is a complete failure for Russia.

My grocery bills have gone down and I don't know what to tell you regarding rent, my mortgage is fine.
