Russia's Desperate Scramble - Joe Blogs

[TexasTowelie]

Russia is rapidly losing control of its overseas energy empire.

With the U.S. sanctions deadline of 21 November now just days away, governments around the world are seizing, nationalizing or blocking Lukoil’s foreign assets — and Russia may never receive a single dollar in return.

In this video I break down the extraordinary global fire-sale now unfolding:

• Why the U.S. sanctions deadline is so critical
• How Bulgaria, Moldova, Kazakhstan and others are moving to push Russia out
• The latest on Iraq, where Russia declared Force Majeure at the 480,000 barrel-per-day West Qurna-2 field
• Iraq’s firm rejection of the Force Majeure and threat to force Russia out of the project
• Why buyers are scrambling to acquire Russia’s assets at distressed prices
• How Russia may lose its entire international energy footprint almost overnight

This situation is escalating fast — and the implications for Russia’s economy in 2026 could be enormous.
