Russia and Ukraine flashpoint

[shavenferret]

Russian Central bank jacks internal interest rates up to 21% !!! They are normally pretty low, should be around 3% for a stable economy.  This is meant to slow down inflation but the unfortunate downside is that the economy will halt.  I hate to be cynical but this is a war...... So, i expect that the Russians will more eager to join the military now that there won't be jobs available for Russian men.
