Oh I’d happily dedicate more than two hours of my life towards becoming more informed on the issue, I’m just not convinced your video will do that.

If you've got better sources than an ex US marine and weapons inspector then please do share them.

It simply isn’t. Russia is not the USSR, as much as that may sadden Putin. The country is not willing or ready to go it alone. The oligarchs losing their power abroad will hurt Putin, not help him.

That's a very round about way to say that you don't understand the first thing about Russian politics.

Complete nonsense. Some industries will be greatly affected, including the most important such as energy.

You're not engaging with reality.

You’re right. What does this have to do with Putin?

The fact that Europe is deeply dependent on Russia economically, something you clearly aren't able to grasp.
