                      Jeff Bezos is one of the world's wealthiest men and the founder of one of the market's most successful businesses. However, not everyone can become an overnight sensation and remain at the top for an extended period of time, and this requires a combination of talent and hard work.

The annual inflation rate of energy has increased by 41.9%, food inflation has increased by 10.4%, and 27 countries have slowed their GDP rates due to the impact of the war. What is Putin's strategy, and how did he dominate the geopolitical war against the most developed countries? Europe was pushed into this crisis without even fighting, thanks to Russia's clear strategy of limiting the supply of key European necessities.
