Putin is Not Going to Be Happy About This - Paul Warburg

Russia's oil revenues are collapsing, fast. Urals crude is now just $36 a barrel. That carries HUGE implications. For Russia, the oil trade isn't just losing revenue - it's no longer profitable. In this video I talk about the war in Ukraine, and recent developments that are going to drag down the Russian economy like never before. We learn why countries like India and China are abandoning Russia, and the long term implications.

are gloom and doom, yet Putin is not slowing down in Ukraine. I guess he needs a win to stay in power, but I don't see the citizens tolerating this for for very long.
