Oops Russian Rouble has fallen by 30% against the US $ and central bank closed today.

@SW-User It will affect the average Russian citizen and that could lead to political unrest as the effects bite

@Dlrannie That's the hope I know. I have Putin is a sociopath (most leaders are) and how he sees their ruin is another story. I want to be wrong about this.

@Dlrannie My honest hope, and it's political, is he is trying to engage the cold war again. Where all is silent with threats that are mostly empty; but that's practised already but it's been a while. If he backs off now, that is what he is trying to bring back (only way I see it)

@SW-User Or crypto, more to the point.

@SW-User Talk about stupid games winning stupid prizes.. The critical words in your post are ""in foreign banks""

Guess who is freezing Russian accounts in FOREIGN BANKS!! Really smart hey, put all their foreign currency reserves in backs in France, the UK and the USA. Because they did not trust in their corrupt oligarch home grown banks in Russia..

Silly Boys 🤣

@Adstar I'm sure they have ways around it. I don't think BNP in Paris has an account in the name of V. Putin.

@Adstar Dare I say that they're playing Russian Roulette?
