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.
See… the problem with saying things like this on the Internet is that people can check right away and see that you’re saying something that isn’t true.

No, this is a good reality check. Still we can see how the rate has dropped from 20 to 8 like nothing
How can we see that it did that “like nothing” from that chart? Do you think the number is just come up with arbitrarily or something? If that’s the case, why ever change the interest rate at all? Just always keep it at that magic 18% of yours.
I was wrong about 18 being “for a long time”. Still, if it’s indeed a measure to regulate inflation, it worked previously, why wouldn’t it work this time?
You need to decide whether you’re wrong or not.
Don’t play Trump’s card here. I was wrong in one argument, thank you for pointing it out, but overall it doesn’t seem that the claim that “Russia is collapsing due to sanctions and war” has been damaged in any way
I think you need to go back and look at the comment chain, because you decided to respond to my link showing you that the 18% claim wasn’t true a second time with a couple of links that also showed it wasn’t true with some popcorn bucket emojis.
So you might want to tell that you that this you thinks you’re wrong.
You sound very emotionally invested in this conversation, so I stop it right now. If you are still interested in the answer, please read the comment in another branch.
Please take care and don’t forget to drink water today.
You not being able to decide whether or not you’re right about the 18% thing has nothing to do with my emotions and everything to do with yours.
Bwahaha. Just take the L, Chief.

Do you think either of those links makes your 18% claim true?
Because otherwise I’m not sure why you replied to my comment a second time with those links after showing you that it wasn’t true. Those links also show it isn’t true.
