Short answer inflation is here not just the West now it is all over the world everyone is hurting from it. Others have been hit sooo severely like in Sri Lanka government has collapsed others like in Iraq and others are under threat and with what appears to be long war between Ukraine and Russia which affects resources in particular wheat and oil and energy this is going to be affecting everyone in the world for the next possible years.
Collapse is generous
