As a resident of Finland for nearly 30 years, I'm overjoyed at how relatively painless it has been for us to break Putin's extremely ill-advised energy blackmail policy. He couldn't have played this whole thing any more foolishly if he'd tried. As they say back in NYC, "Whadda fuggin' dope."
Russia sold cheap energy to Europe and we were happy to buy it. The USA were ready to export to Europe but could never compete with the cheap prices. I would say the USA succeeded in provoking Russia into a conflict in Ukraine that they have been pushing for since 2014. I'm just wondering how Russia were blackmailing Europe? Russia didn't pull the plug, we in Europe did and now we're lining the pockets of the US.
Heck, Finland is an entirely different story of Putin's accomplishments. Yes, there's still Erdogan playing his game, but Putin has finally managed to convince you guys to actually join NATO, instead of just being good friends. Putin really is making history left and right, although probably not the way he wanted to...
As a resident of Finland, I would be pretty depressed that my government was so incompetent that it scrapped a contract for the construction of an entire nuclear power plant, financed almost completely by Russia, on finnish soil to be connected to the finnish power grid. All because you were afraid to worsen relations with your western owners. Imagine :)
Russia has converted to a war economy. Production is stimulated by war investments, Russian society has been injected by lots of military money, and Russia's central bank is turning to debt in order to stay afloat. It'll work for a couple of years and we shouldn't expect Russia to crash any time soon. But as soon as the war is over, this is when Russia will face massive economic issues.

There's one important lesson that every nation should learn. DON'T BASE YOUR ENTIRE ECONOMY AROUND 1 OR 2 EXPORTS. When there's a needed resource that one country extorts others on, sooner or later someone is going to come up with a way around it. They'll either find a way to make it themselves, or find an alternative to it. At which point all of your leverage evaporates.

Akula Lilu: I appreciate your hopes for Russia but, like most authoritarian "governments" it starts with a fair system of representative governments, local and national, a system of courts that are equally powerful and that rule based on the principals of law, not politics, and a leader who is legitimately elected and works within the law. Until at least one of those things occur in Russia, all is doomed.
@@lazurm Those depend on a population that understands and wants that and which then gets some practice with good faith actors (and no US imperial involvement). The younger people, at least in the major cities seem attracted by such a system desirous to learn it and put it into effect. And the military has to be on board. The Russian military, like most in the world aren't usually big fans and lean more towards exercizing the power (and taking the money) for themselves. But let's hope.
The Russian economy is not destroyed. You can't easily destroy a country as large as Russia with its vast resources. The IMF said that Russia's GDP would grow by 2.5% this year while Britain's would be 0.1%

Lots of people don't seem to understand how these sanctions work. First of all they are NOT intended to affect ordinary Russians, so when you hear people on the street in Russia say that the sanctions haven't affected their lives, they are actually speaking the truth. Secondly, most of the sanctions are long-term which means that their effect will increase over time and thus be rather mild in the first couple of years. And, needless to say, VERY mild in the very first year.
REALLY??? Not when the world factory (2 of them) is helping them...sanctions should be on United Stoopid Arses and their bitches for all the wars they created
What kind of mental gymnastics do you have to pull to believe that? You don't think "ordinary Russians" work in the factories producing the products that the US has pulled off the shelves? You just don't want to admit how destructive your virtue signaling on a global scale is.
Right ok well you hope over there and ask why all shops and businesses from the west left forcing people out of jobs 🙄 the reason they didnt work is because russia just went to the brics countries and sold everything to them
Actually, sanctions have affected ordinary Russians. It's that those Russians are brainwashed massively by state propaganda to believe that sanctions have no effect.

Putin figuratively pushed all of his chips into the center of the table. Now they will experience free fall for decades, if not forever. Way to go Vlad!
The "giant leaps" in history has meant close to 30 million deaths in the own population. Are you saying that Putin wants to eradicate 18% of Russia's population? If that is the case, I might agree...
Great video, Russia seems to have a knack at shooting itself in the foot. The problem is when one person is running a country, it is pitting one brain against the intellect of a very large number. Then when we factor in emotion and pressure on that one brain, something is going to give and mistakes are made.
Like any "good" narcissist, Putin absolutely will not listen to reason from others. It's why authoritarian regimes eventually fail. Russia is in free fall mode now. They might not ever recover.
This is why I still cannot understand the people who say "autocracies are better than democracies". Yeah, like, pal, I get that most democracies are effectively oligarchies with a sugar coat, but even then, better have power slightly decentralized amongst some few dudes than concentrated under ONE particular person.
As a European, we didn't ascribe the warm winter to "divine intervention" and "thank God himself" for it. We called it one of the good consequences of global warming, which is mostly man-made.
To be fair, Europe and the west generally had given the impression, over and over again that they would not interfere with Russia doing what Russia wanted to do. I guess Putin found that final straw.
The countries Russia had invaded in 1852 where Moldova and Valachia, components of the future Romania, so starting the war of Crimea. Now Russia is again threatening Moldova (part of the old principat of XIX century). When do they ever learn?

@@thesage4729 You really should check your figures. The EU market they had is vastly bigger than what you listed above. And if you do not believe me check the damn figures published by russia for their budget for Jan 23. Their revenue from fossil fuel exports is down over 50% on same period last year. And about to get a lot worse as the 2nd ban/cap (on refined energy products) hit only this month so has not had any affect yet. China + India + etc do not buy refined products from russia and have no interest nor capability in doing so. Basically you are talking nonsense, but feel free to show me where you got your info, I'd be genuinely curious.
@@thesage4729 If you watched the video, you'd have noticed the section where he says China and India are getting a 50% discount on buying that Russian oil. As in its worth that much to them, and Russia's nowhere near strong enough to do anything other than meekly accept their terms.
@@td.adigee I was referring to the EU market russia was selling energy products to. The EU and its allies accounted for 85% of russia's *total* fossil fuels export market pre-war. And that is more or less all gone.
@@td.adigee That must be why they just reduced production by 5% (10k oil wells shut). Yes they are selling more than they did to those markets (China and India are very happy to exploit russia while they can), but even with that taken in to account those markets as less than 30% of the size the EU market they had was. Plus, just look at the price China and India are paying, it's way below price cap but russia cannot say no as it is now desperate to sell, even with the huge additional cost of shipping it to those places that russia did not have with the EU market.
What BS! the result is that Russian economy has #1 growth currently in Europe while Western Europe purchases now gas at a 30% higher price than it did before. The extremely good cresults of the EU sanctions towards Russia are seen these day in Germany wich is in a state of collapse on all fronts.
hahahahaha, plp and business paying 200%+ for gas and oil, cities doing programmed blackouts, sure they are full specially paying US resale prices than more than double russian prices xD
@@germanher7528 Programmed blackouts in Europe? It might be Putin's wet dream, but it is deffinitelly not a reallity. I know it because I live here. I strongly recommend you to reconsider your sources of information. Russian propaganda is not the most trustworthly one, you know?
Nope. Russia's economy is growing. Soon Russia will be Europe's largest economy (currently it's second largest). Russia is the future. Better accept it now than later.
9:30 There were lots of other reasons they sold Alaska. They thought America was going to take it by force anyway, so why not just sell it? Also the price they sold it for was ridiculously low - $7.2 million, about $125 M today, about as much as Russia makes in 43 days as per 2022 post-invasion GDP numbers. Yes 1.5 million km2, 17% of the US land area, sold for a month and a half of "wages". The bigger reason was they wanted to rival the British, their rival at the time.
The czar hadvto pay for a way, the American military had maybe 10,,000 in service for all branches AMERICAN Folly was what Europe call it , it was thought to be worthless.
And remember, Russia wasn’t exactly an economic powerhouse even when it had the easy money from the pipeline. Russia’s population isn’t huge (Nigeria has a bigger population) and Russias economy was only as half as large as a number of single US states (CA, NY, etc).
Was the Russian economy the size of the Italian one or the economy of the state of California? This is in a nominal account against the dollar. But if we calculate by Purchasing Power Parity that the Russian economy is almost like the German one. But, unlike Western economies, the Russian economy consists of REAL extractive and manufacturing industries. And not like in the west, where most of the production was brought to China and Southeast Asia, and they themselves live at the expense of the service sector. Here is a link to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_ (PPP) ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Список_стран_по_ВВП_(ППС) And where is Italy and France on this list? So don't be surprised that the Russians were able to withstand the sanctions. Moreover, it helps Russia (not militarily) China and India. And also a lot of friendly countries that say to the West - "yes, yes, yes", but it is through them that the so-called "parallel import" goes to the Russian Federation!
No, the russian economy is a third of the german. I don’tknow what you mean by stating in case letters that russia is a real manufacturing industry. Germans are some of the best in the world for that, see just their car industry where russia basically produces nothing. That’s why 80 million people creates an economy three times bigger than russias 140 million people. If you pull from russias economy the fact that most of it consists in making a hole in the ground and selling what comes up from it, that difference gets even greater. I don’t know if you are a paid troll to claim such things, but everyone else sees the same. If russia is the REAL manufacturing country, why do they need so badly western tech, that without it their military is crippled?
@@user-mh7ng4vn9lYeah….Russian propaganda sites are not “evidence.” They likely say that Russia won WW2 single-handedly thru the sheer awesomeness, and leave out or bury the US aid to Russia in WW2 and the 90s, and that Stalin was a murderous dictator happy to support Hitler if Russia could invade and grab some territory as well.
The young people of Russia are much more aware of the actuality of the war situation then older Russians, who only watch and believe state TV. They will rise if conscription returns.
To sum up: Presuming you're indispensable and acting on that presumption, is a good way of finding out whether anyone else believes it. And plenty in the past have found otherwise.
Siberia is considered to be native Russian land, dumbo. Russia would never let go of Siberia. Alaska was seen as a useless wasteland back then. That's the difference.

No the incredibly warm winter made Europeans realise we need to move away from fossil fuels even more quickly, a mild winter is not a good trade off for a dangerously hot summer.
Yes. Their applause for the warm winter is quite short sighted. In the bigger picture of the world situation, we've got a lot of issues to deal with. Climate change being a huge one.

No one thought the Russian military could be stopped but when Ukrainians showed the will to resist the world took note of their courage! Ukraine remembered how Stalin rewarded the sacrifice of Ukraine's best and most highly decorated military by the 2 weeks all expense honor of money, food, feasting at the victory over Germany! On the train trip they were stopped to rest and were machined gun down by Russian solders, 40,000 leaders of Ukraine was murdered by Stalin's paranoia. Then 6 million were starved to death by Stalin stealing the food production from Ukraine. In modern day terms Russian invasion meant starving for Ukraine's population and the unwillingness to surrender on any terms! Ukraine cannot and will not surrender to Russian occupation! And now Russia is seen as a bully with its pants down around its knees with the only bailout is the threat of nuclear annihilation as its only trump card which no sees as a logical step toward world dominance! Putin is ruthless, not stupid, just greedy!
This was an inevitable consequence of having a second rate leader of limited intelligence who has many character flaws and a serious inferiority complex making grown up decisions …
Putin is not an idiot. Labelling him as such would be a mistake. He however fell into a very common trap for all dictators. He surrounded himself by gutless "Yes men" and got rid of anyone that disagreed with him. So he made the decision on bad information. He was not that wrong though. Sure in hindsight it is a blunder of epic proportions, but see this through his eyes in 2022. His military has been modernized on paper and even most western strategists consider that it can conquer most of Eastern Europe before it is met with any resistance. By than he will just threaten with nuclear escalation and nobody will risk going to a hot war with a nuclear power over Eastern Europe. The west proved itself as weak, if they had any guts they would have levied heavy sanctions since the Crimea fiasco of 2014. Germany has even made itself more reliant on Russian gas. The "strong reply" of the west in the first week was to consider putting Nord stream on hold and mayyyybe cut off Russia from the system for electronic payments, while Macron grovelled for peace as Ukraine burned.
I know that Europe is getting their natural gas from somewhere.I am Canadian and it would really be nice to know that we were exporting are gas to them.
If they don't get their young people back from abroad and stop killing off most of the rest, I would say the outlook isn't too positive. If the new generations can get some power, there might be hope

What Siberian cave have you been holed away in, comrade.
Putin’s “3 day victory tour of Ukraine” is an abject failure.
His army of baby killing rapists didn’t capture Kyiv.
They retreated (I.e. ran away) from Bucha, Kharkiv & Kherson.
The russian army is minus 200,000+ orcs.
Minus nearly half of its total tank force.
Minus its Black Sea flagship the Moskva.

Akula Lilu: I appreciate your hopes for Russia but, like most authoritarian "governments" it starts with a fair system of representative governments, local and national, a system of courts that are equally powerful and that rule based on the principals of law, not politics, and a leader who is legitimately elected and works within the law. Until at least one of those things occur in Russia, all is doomed.
@@lazurm Those depend on a population that understands and wants that and which then gets some practice with good faith actors (and no US imperial involvement). The younger people, at least in the major cities seem attracted by such a system desirous to learn it and put it into effect. And the military has to be on board. The Russian military, like most in the world aren't usually big fans and lean more towards exercizing the power (and taking the money) for themselves. But let's hope.

Lots of people don't seem to understand how these sanctions work. First of all they are NOT intended to affect ordinary Russians, so when you hear people on the street in Russia say that the sanctions haven't affected their lives, they are actually speaking the truth. Secondly, most of the sanctions are long-term which means that their effect will increase over time and thus be rather mild in the first couple of years. And, needless to say, VERY mild in the very first year.
REALLY??? Not when the world factory (2 of them) is helping them...sanctions should be on United Stoopid Arses and their bitches for all the wars they created
ever heard of fucking companies
What kind of mental gymnastics do you have to pull to believe that? You don't think "ordinary Russians" work in the factories producing the products that the US has pulled off the shelves? You just don't want to admit how destructive your virtue signaling on a global scale is.
Right ok well you hope over there and ask why all shops and businesses from the west left forcing people out of jobs 🙄 the reason they didnt work is because russia just went to the brics countries and sold everything to them
Actually, sanctions have affected ordinary Russians.
It's that those Russians are brainwashed massively by state propaganda to believe that sanctions have no effect.

Great video, Russia seems to have a knack at shooting itself in the foot. The problem is when one person is running a country, it is pitting one brain against the intellect of a very large number. Then when we factor in emotion and pressure on that one brain, something is going to give and mistakes are made.
Like any "good" narcissist, Putin absolutely will not listen to reason from others. It's why authoritarian regimes eventually fail. Russia is in free fall mode now. They might not ever recover.

@@thesage4729 You really should check your figures. The EU market they had is vastly bigger than what you listed above. And if you do not believe me check the damn figures published by russia for their budget for Jan 23. Their revenue from fossil fuel exports is down over 50% on same period last year. And about to get a lot worse as the 2nd ban/cap (on refined energy products) hit only this month so has not had any affect yet. China + India + etc do not buy refined products from russia and have no interest nor capability in doing so. Basically you are talking nonsense, but feel free to show me where you got your info, I'd be genuinely curious.
@@thesage4729 If you watched the video, you'd have noticed the section where he says China and India are getting a 50% discount on buying that Russian oil. As in its worth that much to them, and Russia's nowhere near strong enough to do anything other than meekly accept their terms.
@@td.adigee I was referring to the EU market russia was selling energy products to. The EU and its allies accounted for 85% of russia's *total* fossil fuels export market pre-war. And that is more or less all gone.
@@td.adigee That must be why they just reduced production by 5% (10k oil wells shut). Yes they are selling more than they did to those markets (China and India are very happy to exploit russia while they can), but even with that taken in to account those markets as less than 30% of the size the EU market they had was. Plus, just look at the price China and India are paying, it's way below price cap but russia cannot say no as it is now desperate to sell, even with the huge additional cost of shipping it to those places that russia did not have with the EU market.
What BS! the result is that Russian economy has #1 growth currently in Europe while Western Europe purchases now gas at a 30% higher price than it did before. The extremely good cresults of the EU sanctions towards Russia are seen these day in Germany wich is in a state of collapse on all fronts.
If Russia screws up really badly, I'm sure the US would be willing to help out by buying a large chunk of Siberia. Make us an offer Poontzy.

Hey! Let’s piss off our biggest customer. What could go wrong?
And remember, Russia wasn’t exactly an economic powerhouse even when it had the easy money from the pipeline. Russia’s population isn’t huge (Nigeria has a bigger population) and Russias economy was only as half as large as a number of single US states (CA, NY, etc).
Was the Russian economy the size of the Italian one or the economy of the state of California? This is in a nominal account against the dollar. But if we calculate by Purchasing Power Parity that the Russian economy is almost like the German one. But, unlike Western economies, the Russian economy consists of REAL extractive and manufacturing industries. And not like in the west, where most of the production was brought to China and Southeast Asia, and they themselves live at the expense of the service sector. Here is a link to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_ (PPP)
ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Список_стран_по_ВВП_(ППС)
And where is Italy and France on this list? So don't be surprised that the Russians were able to withstand the sanctions. Moreover, it helps Russia (not militarily) China and India. And also a lot of friendly countries that say to the West - "yes, yes, yes", but it is through them that the so-called "parallel import" goes to the Russian Federation!
No, the russian economy is a third of the german. I don’tknow what you mean by stating in case letters that russia is a real manufacturing industry. Germans are some of the best in the world for that, see just their car industry where russia basically produces nothing. That’s why 80 million people creates an economy three times bigger than russias 140 million people. If you pull from russias economy the fact that most of it consists in making a hole in the ground and selling what comes up from it, that difference gets even greater. I don’t know if you are a paid troll to claim such things, but everyone else sees the same. If russia is the REAL manufacturing country, why do they need so badly western tech, that without it their military is crippled?
@@user-oc3im9fe9q…and stop linking to the russian wikipedia, of course redacted by pro Putin supporters, as a fact. It’s hilarious
@@user-mh7ng4vn9lYeah….Russian propaganda sites are not “evidence.” They likely say that Russia won WW2 single-handedly thru the sheer awesomeness, and leave out or bury the US aid to Russia in WW2 and the 90s, and that Stalin was a murderous dictator happy to support Hitler if Russia could invade and grab some territory as well.
Ask Italy to provide you wheat, sunflower or nuclear technology. Even US imports certain kinds of nuclear fuel from Russia. No sanctions for Rosatom.

On the train trip they were stopped to rest and were machined gun down by Russian solders, 40,000 leaders of Ukraine was murdered by Stalin's paranoia. Then 6 million were starved to death by Stalin stealing the food production from Ukraine. In modern day terms Russian invasion meant starving for Ukraine's population and the unwillingness to surrender on any terms! Ukraine cannot and will not surrender to Russian occupation! And now Russia is seen as a bully with its pants down around its knees with the only bailout is the threat of nuclear annihilation as its only trump card which no sees as a logical step toward world dominance!

@̐ of course comrade.
@̐ fool. Even when losing you spit your nonsense. Thats exactly how pootin lost. Using the brandon word tags you as a fool, btw
@̐ What about if putin and biden are evil twins?
Putin is not an idiot. Labelling him as such would be a mistake.
He however fell into a very common trap for all dictators. He surrounded himself by gutless "Yes men" and got rid of anyone that disagreed with him. So he made the decision on bad information.
He was not that wrong though. Sure in hindsight it is a blunder of epic proportions, but see this through his eyes in 2022. His military has been modernized on paper and even most western strategists consider that it can conquer most of Eastern Europe before it is met with any resistance. By than he will just threaten with nuclear escalation and nobody will risk going to a hot war with a nuclear power over Eastern Europe. The west proved itself as weak, if they had any guts they would have levied heavy sanctions since the Crimea fiasco of 2014. Germany has even made itself more reliant on Russian gas. The "strong reply" of the west in the first week was to consider putting Nord stream on hold and mayyyybe cut off Russia from the system for electronic payments, while Macron grovelled for peace as Ukraine burned.
@̐ they can both be 2nd rate... lol 🤡🤏
I know that Europe is getting their natural gas from somewhere.I am Canadian and it would really be nice to know that we were exporting are gas to them.
70% comes from Russia still, but at much ,,greater´´price
This video not aging so well ...
It seems that a lot of Smart or Politicians tend to be penny wise and pound foolish.
Then it comes back to bite them in the backside
An amazing story on Putin's gamble, now it's time to watch the years unfold to where Russia stands politically, militarily, and financially.
If they don't get their young people back from abroad and stop killing off most of the rest, I would say the outlook isn't too positive. If the new generations can get some power, there might be hope
@@cathjj840 what "young people" do you mean?
I would like to sincerely thank Putin for encouraging the renewable energy movement.

@@justincausinsky7381 The people either being killed by the bucket in this useless war and the people desperately border-hopping to avoid the draft, I assume.
What a fantastic video. I learned something new today......several things, actually! Thanks
Great to hear!
I recommend... Perun, How lies destroy an army. For great analysis, also.
@@willarth9186 Yes. I just discovered that channel, thanks.
You got brainwashed, again. Grats
