Russian Collapse Accelerates as Gas Sales Evaporate & Huge Discounts on Gas Given to China - Joe Blogs

RUSSIAN Revenue from Natural Gas has EVAPORATED due to the Economic Sanctions. Russia is struggling to be able to replace the lost revenue as they do not have the Infrastructure to convert Natural Gas to LNG and it will take DECADES to negotiate and build new pipelines. In this video I look at the current situation for Russia & Europe and ask whether there is a risk that Europe could face Shortages in Winter 2023/4.

The balance of trade is negative and some sources believe that Russia will exhaust its reserves within the next six months. They may have additional drones and missiles in reserve, but at some point Russia will be unable to resupply its forces. Something similar may occur in Ukraine, particularly if the US withdraws its support; however, Russia does not have any lifelines to use since the few friends that it has are undergoing their own economic problems and sanctions.
