Russia's Point of No Return is Closer Than We Thought - Paul Warburg [View all]



In their war against Ukraine, Russia has always projected an aura of unstoppable strength. It's never been true. Every time Russia has said something, the world has seen that the reality is far different than the story. But that doesn't stop Russia from trying.

In this video, I talk about why Russia's remaining strength has been vastly overplayed, from economic power based on gold reserves, to the amount of manpower that Russia actually has left to spend on their war. You'll realize very quickly how Russia is far weaker than most people think.
