Why Russia hasn't actually collapsed...yet - Paul Warburg



Lots of people think that because Russia hasn't collapsed yet, it will never happen. So let's take a closer look, chatting about the Russian economy, how it's holding up as Russia wages its war against Ukraine, what's allowing it to hold on for so long, and why that's coming to an end. I discuss Russia's "war chest", the collapse of the ruble, inflation, and how Vladimir Putin is running out of cash.
