Thread: Russia Just Invaded Ukraine

    Russian stocks are getting killed. It hurts us too, but we can weather this much better and it doesn't hurt us nearly as much.

    Almost $60 billion evaporated from Russia’s stock market on Monday as global investors were spooked by Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Crimea and the West explores economic sanctions.

    Russia’s MICEX index plummeted as much as 13% in response to the fast-moving Ukrainian situation, which has pitted Moscow against the West in a crisis reminiscent of the Cold War.

    Financial pain was quickly felt by Russian investors as the ruble tumbled 2% against the U.S. dollar, forcing the country’s central bank to dramatically increase interest rates by 1.5 percentage points to 7%.

    Stocks are getting killed but the ruble is getting destroyed
    Khaladon starts to turn the crystal knob, but stops with a frightened look on his face. He begins shaking uncontrollably and flies across the room, as though by some invisible force.

    **SPLAT!!** Khaladon careens off the far wall, slides down the smooth wood panelling and collapses into a quivering heap on the floor, with only his dignity bruised.

    This is one of the instances I'd think economic warfare could be carried out rather handily by tapping the strategic oil reserves.*

    Sorry. All fails.


    As for Back and his Sanctions... this STARTED what.. 3 days ago? Also, Sanctions have to be approved by Congress. Congress hasn't been in session yet to impose Sanctions. Sorry Back. You failed this one.
    It's been less than a week, and you can't finish a process before you start it. This is America, not American Idol.
    Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
    America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.

    Doesn't look like most of Western Europe will be supporting full economic Sanctions. Germany is also against Russia being kicked from the G8.
