The Roman Empire Reveals How Russia Will Collapse - Paul Warburg



Empires rise and fall, and Russia is just one in a long string of failed empires over human history.

Let's talk about the Russian economy, and how it's holding up as Russia wages its war against Ukraine. I discuss Russia's "war chest", the collapse of the ruble, inflation, and how Vladimir Putin is running out of cash.

It is plausible though.

Russia, under Putin is punching above its' weight.
Much like Romanov Russia in 1914.
