Russia Facing Oblivion - Joe Blogs



Russia’s oil exports to China and India account for nearly two-thirds of its fossil fuel trade. Donald Trump has called for 50%–100% tariffs to be applied by NATO in respect of purchases of Russian Oil — a move that could devastate Moscow’s main revenue stream and potentially force Russia to end the war in Ukraine.

In this video, we break down:

• How much oil Russia sells each day, and to whom
• Why China and India are critical lifelines for Russia’s economy
• The potential impact of tariffs on Russian revenue
• What this means for Russia’s war effort
