Sounds like, for the foreseeable future, Russia is cooked. And with the age of Petroleum coming to an end in a few decades and Russia being so de-industrialized from the USSR period - it's going to take some sort of revolution to get back on their feet. Sadly revolutions in countries with a low birth-rate (and low number of young people) are rare.

So sad but true, seems the Kremlin is trying to replace USAID in Eurasia for the Empire after DOGE defunded it. One can only imagine Russia's future predicament wthl no change in policy.

Thanks for your very informative posting, keep up the good work.

His manner puts you off before you even start taking in any info, arrogance on steroids. He still has people talking his praises yet I can't see how they are not offended by his rude manner. Stay away I felt right off along with his cigar and whiskey so bourgeois.
