Russia’s central bank has raised its key interest rate by two percentage points to a record-high 21% in an effort to combat growing inflation.

Russia’s central bank on Friday raised its key interest rate by two percentage points to a record-high 21% in an effort to stem growing inflation as massive government spending on the military amid the fighting in Ukraine strains the economy’s capacity to produce goods and services and drives up workers’ wages.

      OK buddy. At the end of the day no matter what you believe, Russia invaded another country first and there’s nothing you can say that will change that. While the US is FAR from blameless in regard to foreign meddling, you are absolutely on the wrong side of history.

        Very substantive retort. It is only the people against war that have to be paid for it. The pro war demons are all in it for love.

            I think they’re trying to say that, because they have to be paid to praise one country’s completely unprovoked invasion of another, therefore they are a better person than us, who, unpaid, say Ukraine is in the right, therefore we “love war.” It is a weird fucking flex.
