The global oil market has shifted, and the UAE just handed the Kremlin an armor-piercing reality check. In Episode 2.26, we document the final, terminal phase of the Russian “Big Deal.”
With the physical infrastructure burning in Tuapse and Kirishi from relentless Ukrainian drone strikes, the Russian state has officially run out of oligarch money and international leverage. Now, they are turning their sights inward. From Elvira Nabiullina preparing to lock the doors on 67 trillion rubles of citizen deposits, to General Chaiko failing upward into the Aerospace Forces, to the Z-Patriots openly discussing a transition of power—this isn’t just an economic crisis. It is a mathematical, Dendro-Fecal meltdown.
We dissect the macro-economics with Professor Igor Lipsits, map out the “Hornet” drone superiority in the Short Sky, and witness Vladimir Solovyov completely break down on live television.
