the West is trying to beat Russia's military force with its economic might in the Ukrainian conflict, it's a new conflict, an asymmetrical war. in a sense, the economic strength may determine the outcome of the conflict. let's take a look at the West economies.

GDPNow forecast for the US has dropped to zero for Q1, from Q2 on, the tightening effect will kick in, 2022 will be a tough year for America. as usual the rest of the West will be worse than the US. further supply disruption due to all kinds of sanctions, ever higher energy prices, a widespread recession is very much on the card.
