The Moscow stock exchange can no longer trade in dollars and Euro, and the Russian stock market is declining fast, and Russian banks are preventing customers from logging in, after the US unleashed extensive new economic sanctions.
@randahl
Members of G7 Summit Unleashed $50 billion for Ukraine in new financing by bringing forward the interest earned on immobilized Russian sovereign assets held in the European Union and other jurisdictions.
@randahl it seems you are overrating those sanctions."stock market declining fast" - if you actually check, the worst happened to a moex with only ~3%, while some even show growth. And btw banks allowing logging in just fine
Moreover, usd/rub rate also doesn't have huge growth (on p2p market it is currently ~93 for sell and 94 for buy)
All i want to say is that those sanctions are still useless and only create nice picture for american voters.
@randahl If Putin sends too many people to the front, there won't be enough to fire on protestors who can't afford bread. I think I've seen this movie before.
Put all the capital in china to bust unions, then undo all the trilateral amoral politicking of the 20th century which was meant to prevent 1/6th of the world's land (russia) from coming together with 1/5th of its population (china). Already building out connecting infrastructure.
Feels like China is the big winner here, speaking realistically. If only the "adults in the room" hadn't put all the factories there.
