    Well this is a very interesting article indeed.
    I have never, ever heard or read anything anywhere before, where a matter of inflation was talked about concerning only “a part” of a country.
    And yet somehow, it rings of something that can be expected from the British or Americans, especially in the context of their occupying islands they grabbed from Argentina directly in front of mentioned part of our country.
    ...
    ... what could these people by thinking in the back of their heads?
    ... besides using and destroying an entire country like Ukraine in order to bring on war against Russia.
