[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

[Eric the meek]

Eric, please keep us in touch with developments. There's nothing better than watching a house of
cards fall apart when you know it's going to really hurt (in this case that b*stard P****n).

I need to see and understand more trades, but what I have seen so far, is coordinated trades to counteract interventions by the central bank of Russia to prop up the ruble. Any injection of cash by the central bank, seems to be matched by a counter trade to produce commensurate downward pressure on the ruble.

I just don't know what the volumes are. Or what they would need to be.

But I have a suspicion that the US is using its economic might, to bring down the ruble, and therefore Russia.

Usual caveat - I could be wrong.

I'm sure you're joking, but even so, I don't think we're near the end of this war. Closer to the end (for Russia) than the beginning I hope, but I'm not going to get carried away, I just want us to support Ukraine for as long as it takes.

Half joking. I'm not talking about the end of the war. Just the ruble.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. The ruble will still be with us for some time. Maybe it'll just be printable Monopoly money for Putin to pay soldiers though.
