It remains more than worrisome that economists will name the two largest recent disruptions in the worlds economy, COVID and the war in Ukraine, yet not outright advocate for peace as the sane solution. The US knows Ukraine cannot win a war against Russia, and should be facilitating peace, not arming them further. Only peace will bring the stability needed.

Just as the Fed is using the wrong tools to address inflation, the US is using the wrong tools to address the conflict in Europe.
