Something Big is Breaking in Russia Right Now - The Icarus Project [View all]

Russia is having gasoline shortages all over the place as Ukraine has been striking Russian energy targets. Oil refineries, gas facilities, oil pipelines, etc. This could become a bigger deal than a lot of people realize. The rampant shortages show that Ukraine's strikes have reached a critical point, where Russia can no longer avoid the effects - especially economically.

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.
