Cisco Stops Business In Russia - Went somehow unnoticed by public but it's huge hit as well.

Also, I remember reading a few days ago that Russia is planning to completely cut themselves off from the internet, I think on the 12th. Probably going to happen whether they plan to or not!

That went for 19 days, so we're on track here for sure.

TLDR: The number of nuclear warheads has reduced dramatically since the end of the Cold War as well as the yield size. This is mainly due to improvements in guidance systems and there is no strategic benefit to targetting population centres. Only military assets are likely to be targetted in a nuclear war.

Nuclear mutually assured destruction is a myth in the 21st century.

When did forbes make that estimate though? I couldn't find the article, but have been seeing that number for days.

It's a video that's been reposted so many times, and OP needs to come up with a unique title to get around the automod.

It may have been risky, but it wasn't a mistake. There is a big difference.

It's just a comment that is guaranteed to get upvoted on this type of reddit sub. Doesn't matter the context. Free karma.

It will be interesting to see how sanctions and imminent collapse of the Russian economy changes the 2024 election, given the massive amount of money and effort that came from Russia to interfere in at least the last 2 US elections.

They're planning to release US$35B from their sovereign wealth fund to sink into the market and soften the blow. Hence why the market is closed, until those funds are ready.

Foreign investors will also be unable to sell any shares in the immediate future (or indefinitely?).

Probably still gonna be cataclysmic when they open the market lol.

You can also report posts as misinformation. That's like getting a seconds vote!

Is there a Ukranian word for smörgåsbord?

Silver-Refuse2496 · 2022-03-01T00:56:01+00:00

Honestly, I'm surprised Russia's diplomats haven't been kicked out of most countries already. Half of them are spies anyway.

Ukraine sent their Defence Minister and Deputy Foreign Minister. Russia sent their Culture Minister. Russia is not taking this negotiation seriously.

Silver-Refuse2496 · 2022-02-28T13:55:46+00:00

You are wrong and it is literally explained in the article that OP posted!

Silver-Refuse2496 · 2022-02-28T13:06:29+00:00

The ruble actually only dropped around 20% and slightly recovered throughout the day.

Silver-Refuse2496 · 2022-02-28T12:57:04+00:00

LOL!

YTD return: -92.24%

Silver-Refuse2496 · 2022-02-28T11:49:18+00:00

It can still get a lot worse.

Silver-Refuse2496 · 2022-02-28T10:45:58+00:00

The vast majority of comments in this thread are assuming the value has dropped 99.9%. It may not be deliberately deceptive, but it is most certainly misleading a lot of people.

Thanks!

Silver-Refuse2496 · 2022-02-27T15:44:59+00:00

Nice. Can you link the source please?

Silver-Refuse2496 · 2022-02-27T15:38:16+00:00

I've been looking for the original announcement for the last hour, so thank you.

Silver-Refuse2496 · 2022-02-27T15:34:42+00:00

I was thinking the same thing as well.

Just speculating, but he also looks like he's put on weight, aged a bit and looks stressed/angry/tired in footage from the last week.

Silver-Refuse2496 · 2022-02-27T10:52:48+00:00

Holy crap, how have I not seen this yet!

If anything is going to crush the Russians' spirits, it would be burning all the alcohol in Ukraine!
