The only way to really kill inflation is strongman signaling. The market has to believe you are willing to endure the pain and keep raising rates in order to kill inflation.

And the mistake earlier was basically propping up the world economy during covid. I don't know exactly what else they could've done?

We could also stop sending so much to other nations currently at war, making them proxy wars for the US.

You could, it wouldn't make a bit of difference to inflation in the US so I'm not sure why you would?
