Numerous Russian banks do not let their clients log in into online banking. A smart way to avoid paying back client's money. Russian banks are suffering from yesterday's U.S. sanctions limiting operations with U.S. dollars, Moscow Stock Exchange closed yesterday nose-diving. pic.twitter.com/NcL9DaGRDc

Russia: Rosbank this morning. They'll buy your US dollar for 52.8 rubles.
They'll sell you a US dollar for 132.4 rubles. Financial advisors in Russia are warning businesses to hold off on concluding any ruble-denominated deals for fear the currency could plummet any day now. pic.twitter.com/o1ymuHAN8U

BREAKING:

Rosbank’s website is down.

Customers can’t login. Multiple Russian banks are preventing clients from logging in because they don’t have liquidity to give clients their money, due to new US sanctions.

Is this the start of a Russian bank run? pic.twitter.com/swI1LUv7st

🔥🔥🔥 The Moscow Exchange is preventing clients from logging-in!!

Like RosBank & GazpromBank, the Moscow Exchange is trying to avoid a “bank run.”

The sanctions implemented yesterday by the US deprived the Exchange of USD & EUR.

Story: Clare Daly, the rabble-rousing Irish lawmaker who became one of the Chinese government’s staunchest defenders in the European Parliament, has lost her seat.https://t.co/TaiMF6Jvy4

Irish MEP Clare Daly blames the establishment for her seat loss. Nope. It was the choice of the voters expressed through democracy, a system unknown under the authoritarian regimes Clare favours in Iran, Russia & China. People chose. She lost. I wish her well in civilian life.

Props to Clare Daly: she has one of the most comically repugnant Wikipedia pages I've ever seen. pic.twitter.com/pUEi95M89p

Goodbye Clare Daly, and good riddance. We will no doubt hear from you again on the airwaves of some Russian or Chinese propaganda channel. But you'd be much easier to ignore https://t.co/MODFvYN2j8

Gemini gives answers indistinguishable from Beijing’s official propaganda when it’s asked questions in Chinese. It is likely that the data used to train Gemini contained mostly Chinese text created by the 🇨🇳 government's propaganda system.

"When a foreign state seeks to influence, disrupt or subvert New Zealand’s interests through covert, deceptive, corruptive or threatening means, this is considered foreign interference".
