![🚨The Russian Duma is warning of economic collapse triggering a 1917-style revolution THIS YEAR🚨 "We've told [Putin] ten times, the economy is bound to collapse...If you don't take immediate action...in the fall we'll face what happened in 1917." I need LOTS more popcorn.🍿🍿](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2046826079588122913/amplify_video_thumb/2046790713623371776/img/0gympQtzZrX00Z_w.jpg)

Russian fuel stations are being put up for sale en masse due to huge financial losses. The Moscow Stock Exchange has fallen 18 straight weeks, the most since the 1990s. A half trillion rubles were withdrawn from banks in 2 weeks by panicked Russians. Worse is yet to come.🍿🍿

🚨 Watch closely: the Russian banking crisis is about to arrive 🚨 Russia's financial state is so bad now that they can't sell bonds anymore: buyers doubt they'll get their money back. With both war spending and debt growing while revenue collapses, a breaking point is near. 💥

Another 12 ships have been hit by drones overnight. bringing the total in the last 2 weeks to 159. The speed with which Russia is losing its cargo fleet is historically unprecedented, and will have a massive long-term impact to export revenue. Get it? Impact? They sure did.💥

Over 100 ships have now been hit in the last week by Ukrainian drones. Meanwhile, the Black Sea Fleet keeps hiding in Novorossiysk doing nothing, unable to sortie for fear of being sunk. No Russian fleet has been this badly humiliated since the Battle of Tsushima in 1905.

🚫 THE SEA OF AZOV IS NOW CLOSED TO RUSSIAN TRAFFIC, BY ORDER OF THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE 🚫 The Kerch Strait and the Don-Azov Canal have stopped letting ships through, and the remaining ships in the Sea of Azov are being sunk. Hey Black Sea Fleet, how's Novorossiysk? 🤣🤡🤣

Another sign of Putin's loss of influence: Lukashenko apologized to Zelenskyy for comments threatening Ukraine. Luka admitted Belarus is highly vulnerable and Belarusians don't want war, and said he poses no military threat to Ukraine. Luka sees which way the wind is blowing.

Some beautiful scenery to accompany your morning coffee.☕️ The Mikhailovsk oil depot received drone sanctions overnight, and it looks like a lot more Russian oil is being converted into heat and light.🔥 As fuel lines get longer, anger grows and Putin's control slips further.⌛️

The Russian fuel shortages are causing massive and growing lineups at fuel stations. And with Russian refineries, storage tanks, and other oil infrastructure being destroyed on a daily basis, it will keep getting a whole lot worse. The road to victory is lit with oil lamps.🔥

Lukashenko was summoned to Putin's Valdai residence for a totally friendly, not-at-all-threatening discussion. From the video, it seems he was summoned in the middle of chopping wood at his dacha. There are rumours Putin offered Luka a cup of tea, which he wisely declined.🍵🫖

Keep an eye on what happens in Moscow over the next 4 weeks. The Moscow refinery is offline, gasoline shortages are causing lineups, and production is down 25% country-wide vs last year due to drone sanctions. And Putin's ignoring it all. This will trigger widespread unrest.🔥

Operation Epic Fail. 10 years ago in March 2016, Mitt Romney warned Trump's foreign policies would make America and the world less safe, and that because of Trump, America would cease to be a shining city on a hill. His predictions are holding up pretty well, unfortunately.

💥 Ukrainian air and sea drones hit 22 ships in the Azov and Black Seas in the last 72 hours 💥 There were 38 ships sailing for Kerch. Now there's less. This is catastrophic. In World War II, only one convoy had more losses than this: Convoy PQ 17, with 24 of 35 ships sunk.

The number of engine failures is rapidly increasing across Russia as the Kremlin allows sale of poor-quality fuel. After waiting in line for small amounts of fuel, people see their cars break down shortly after refuelling. Russian public anger towards Putin is growing fast.🍿
