When the pin is pulled, the "spoon" falls away, and when the grenade is thrown a spring deploys a four-panelled drogue parachute. ... When the parachute deploys, its ejection throws a weight to the rear of the handle and disables the safety. When it impacts or stops, inertia causes the weight to fly forward and hit the spring-loaded firing pin, which activates the primer detonator in the base. This sets off the booster charge in the base of the shaped charge, detonating and enhancing the main charge. |

Russia gets other currencies from the ruble sales as well as rubles back for the oil. Russia won't be getting as much for the oil but they're getting something, and the sale prices that India and China and whoever are paying are securing their ongoing allegiance. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bikedamon: Originally Posted By HIPPO: Originally Posted By Blessed33: Economic War Update: Western war against the Ruble has failed, Ruble has already fully recovered.

Does the surging Ruble show the possibility that they will in fact recover from this whole mess economically? Someone is buying the ruble and buying shit from Russia. China, India are sus. 2. Use said rubles to buy oil from Russia. Russia gets other currencies from the ruble sales as well as rubles back for the oil. Russia won't be getting as much for the oil but they're getting something, and the sale prices that India and China and whoever are paying are securing their ongoing allegiance. It would be unfeasible for gas customers to buy rubles at bargain basement prices. They use wire transfers, and the Centra Bank of Russia sets the exchange rate. Hence, a gas customer is required to wire transfer their currency to the Central Bank for exchange into rubles, and that exchanged money gets transferred to the seller. They no longer do a wire transfer directly to the seller in dollars or euros. The Central Bank is owned by the Russian government, and controlled by Putin. So you can start to get an ideal on how this could be a bad deal for gas customers and why Germany is making a big stink about it. This is how communist countries control their currency on the free market, and how just about any country for that matter. Communist China goes further and has two currencies. One for internal monetary needs, and one for international needs. Foreign corporations paid China's government bank, who converted that to Yuan. But it had to be converted into another currency for internal payment. That's what enables them to keep a stronger currency in the international market place, and a weaker one for it's citizens. We had two currencies until the late 1960's. Some of you in the military back then, or a dependent in a military family overseas will remember scripts. |

Russia should face lasting enforced consequences for this invasion. Maybe not Treaty of Versailles level, but it should hurt. I'd also argue that every day this thing drags on, they should have an incentive to consider a way out. The bulk of their military is bouncing around in the input chute of a wood chipper, and with each passing day, they permanently lose more of it. |
