With markup. That slows down the economy and makes everything more expansive. Whcih makes the economy not competetive on the international market. Keep it that way for a few decades and you get North Korea.

A few decades of war isn't helping anybody. Unlike the Russia, western politics shift because everything in the west is also getting expensive. Europe has seen this already.

Western politics always shifted because nobody is particularly good at it. After 4 or 5 years or small multiples of them the opposition parties take over, then go back to opposition. New parties are born sometimes and take over or don't. The overall picture is a USA aligned continent since 1945 or the 90s according to the country.

Inflation in EU is like 2%?

Sure that's the official figure but people are annoyed that everything is %50 to %200 more expensive compared to 2-3 years ago without having their income growing at the same pace. This is because people feel the inflation different ways because different classes consume different stuff and the average doesn't mean much when you have your rent doubled and the food becoming %50 more expensive.

If you believe the figures from totalitarian dictatorships but think that EU figures are faked I really can't help you :)

No I don't suggest that at all. That's a strawman argument right there.
