What do you mean when you say "Sberbank - 1$ = 110,49₽" and "Tinkoff - 1$ = 153,75₽"? Are these different exchange rates for different banks?
He means that the local currency is set to depreciate by half in a span of a week. And the bottom might be far far lower.
Time to ask HN: how do you want to spend the last days of your life?
You might find inspiration in 2012 movie Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. It does not have especially high rating but I liked it. I keep thinking about it today for some reason. Even if the world does not end, finding a friend is always a good thing. [1] https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1307068/

So these figures are from different times as well as different banks? If so then cool, that was the missing piece.
different times - No.

> slavic North Korea Russian Federation is mostly not slavic. Secession of federation regions (as it happened with USSR) is the next step on the path of the least resistance.
You do realise that Russians are Slavs, correct?
Putin is full of hot air. I believe with how this is going, one of his advisors or generals will kill him before allowing him to actually fire nukes and initiate MAD. These people might be ok letting him play war in the Ukraine but inviting annihilation from the rest of the world? I'm not so sure. But then again, it doesn't seem like there's a lot of rational behavior coming out of Putin's Russia.
The failures in logistics in the current escapade show he has surrounded himself by yes men IMO
The days of mutually assured destruction is actually over. In the time needed for the ICBMs to reach targets on another continent is enough time to intercept those missiles. Obviously neighbours like Finland and Ukraine on the otherhand are problematic. I hope the best for them. Many missile defense systems have been worked on, sattelites with high powered lasers, planes with high powered lasers, intercepting missile…
Satellites with high powered lasers are a fantasy that don't exist right now. The converted Boeing 747 airborne laser was a colossal failure and would have only been able to target a missile nearby in its boost/launch phase. It's now dismantled. You think you can send fighters to gun down an icbm MIRV in its re-entry phase? Seriously?

"I mean any launch by Russia will be declaration of war on everyone.' Depends on the target. If its the Ukraine -- maybe not.
Like, if they launch on Ukraine. The nuke will go off on its target. Do you feel like the rest of the world who is anxiously watching what is happening will sit back and do nothing?
If you respond with nukes its nuclear death for everyone.
If you respond with forces it's still prob going to be nuclear death for everyone.
So uh... Yeah?

different banks? - Yes. different times - No.

Unfortunately it looks, and I so much, so much, hope I am wrong, that the reasons for these negotiations, is so that Russia can transmit an Ultimatum. I have reliable information that Belarus troops are being prepared to join Russian troops at the request of military support of their Russian fellows.
The US had "reliable information" that Iraq had WMD's. Try to be better than that.
It's interesting that Belarus dictator said he would personally guarantee all airplanes based in his country would be grounded until the delegation would return to Ukraine. But did NOT say he would give the same guarantee for air assets based in Russia...

That is basically what they are doing now, sit back and do nothing. Just some economics sanctions...
Ukraine never joined any military alliances. They never took the risk of needing to defend someone else, but in so doing meant they never got us to back them. That was their decision.
>Just some economics sanctions...
You don't end a war by adding to it. These sanctions will destroy the russian people. The russian people are innocent in all of this. If the Russian people do not rise up and overthrow their government. Then the sanctions were not inconveniencing enough for them to do that. Through their actions proving their collaboration.
If we can end this war by sanctions, crushing a nuclear power. The fear of global sanctions will be a message to every single person on Earth that war is no longer possible. We will evolve as the human species to be warless. This will be amazing.
The Russian people have a decision in front of them.
