Sure, the policy US has been pursuing since the 90s culminated in the crisis. However, it was Biden who started the economic war which the west was clearly unprepared for.

Peaceful countries usually are not prepared for war. That’s not a reason to not wage one when shit hits the fan.

US is not a peaceful country, it’s been at war 225 out of 243 years of it’s existence. Meanwhile, US trying to wage an economic war they clearly didn’t prepare for is leading to predictable results now.

Do you think it would be better if they had prepared for it? Plus also: it’s not only the US who is doing this.

Being prepared is a prerequisite for making rational decisions. While it’s not only US that’s doing this, it’s pretty clear that US has been the main force behind this crisis and this article does a good job explaining the intent behind it.
