Russia - Putin Goes Bananas Over USA Arms Deal as Ukraine Ecuador Swap Deepens Economic Cold War - Joe Blogs
President Putin is Furious about an Arms Swap Deal brokered by the USA under which Ecuador has agreed to Swap all of its Russian manufactured Military equipment for $200 Million worth of USA Arms and the Russian Arms will be sent directly to Ukraine to assist with the war against Russia. Ecuador is the world's largest exporter of BANANAS and Russia buys around 20% of its total exports however as a result of this Arms Swap Russia issued a Health & Safety Notice against these bananas. In this video I provide more details of the Arms Swap deal, the trade between Ecuador and Russia and discuss the new ECONOMIC COLD WAR.
