Russian Disaster - Joe Blogs

[TexasTowelie]

Russia’s economy is in serious trouble. Oil and gas revenues — the backbone of the Kremlin’s budget — have collapsed 27% year-on-year in October, and GDP growth has slowed to just 0.6%. Now even the Bank of Russia is warning the country could slide into recession by the end of 2025.

In this video, we’ll break down:
💥 The collapse in oil and gas income
📉 Why GDP growth has almost stalled
⚠️ The growing budget deficit and inflation pressure
🛢️ How falling Urals vs Brent prices are cutting deep into revenue
🧾 Every Russian recession since 1991 — and how each was triggered by oil prices, sanctions, or both
🌍 What this means for global energy markets and the world economy

Every downturn in modern Russian history has followed the same pattern: oil prices crash, sanctions tighten, and recession follows. And 2025 looks set to repeat the cycle.
