Rouble has lost 25% of its value since the war began.

President Vladimir Putin’s economic adviser rebuked the central bank on Monday as the rouble slid past 101 per U.S. dollar, blaming its 30% year-to-date slump on loose monetary policy and revealing growing discord among Russia’s monetary authorities.

        I’m an American, we used to look up to the British and we understood why they thought of us as uncultured, unsophisticated backwoods rubes.

        We don’t have that perception anymore… :)

            Oh no, I know we’re waving our dangly bits in a large greenhouse with excellent access to a large rock field.

            But like, we had so less far to fall :/
