^ The Ruble is crashing hard. There are long lines at ATMs (but no more Dollars or Euros.) Everything from the Moscow Metro to Mortgages have gone up in just 1 day after Swift.
Russians can't afford Mortgage
repayments after Interest Rates doubled on Monday to 20%.
Russians have lost payment
methods because their banks have been cut off from Visa and Mastercard, and
subsequently Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Russians are scrambling to get US
Dollars out - leading to scenes of long lines at ATMs.
At the start of 2022 One US
Dollar traded for about 75 Rubles and a Euro for 80. But the war has helped set
new records - at one point on Monday a Dollar cost 113 Rubles and a Euro, 127.
Putin has done in 5 days what
Hitler couldn't do in 2 years - united the whole world against him.
Only half of the world was
against Hitler from 1939-1941 and then the whole world from 1941-1945.
Now the Ordinary Russian will
suffer the economic woes because of Putin. Don't feel sorry for them (I don't.)
Ordinary Ukrainians are suffering
much worse because of the Russians (Bombings, Missile Strikes, Ground Invasion,
Occupation and Death.)
молодец! ^
