Weird.

This is a first hand Russian propaganda news site.

= They want better trading partners than China ( that is only extracting engineers and resources from Russia) and try to force the west? ( What I think based on this)

The future of oil seems to be over within the decade and so would be 20% of their already relatively little economy/GDP based on country size.

I would guess the period after COVID will be the last time where oil price can reach an extreme high price ( eg. Norway is already 70% EV).

They need to do something, but i have serious considerations about trying to influence/threaten the world/neighbors, when there is enough trouble at home.

Additionally, the countries they are constantly threatening are literally a huge income for them.

Any other thoughts?


RT is a propaganda arm of the Kremlin. Typical sabre-rattling by Putin. He wants to stoke animus against a foreign enemy to distract people from domestic woes.
