@ 16:39 the video makes the point I think we all have the sense of. That is Russia is a State that has "Race" as one of it's pillars.
That reminded me of Nazi Germany. They too defined their actions on "race."
Nazi Germany had a core of Aryan Race as their just cause. It looks like Putin's Russia is sharing that philosophy with their cries of "genocide against Russian Race." Whatever "Russian Race" is. That is political.
You know a European Union style reform is what Russia needs.

London (CNN Business)Russia is cutting off natural gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria after they refused to pay in rubles, dramatically escalating tensions with the West.
Looks like Russia is playing a pair of fours hard here.
Just how will this cutting off the Gas help Russia?
Oh I guess they desperately need the Ruble to be shored up.
I wonder how that happened. /S

Gas in Russia is 159.60 Rubles per gallon.
The minimum wage is 7,500 Rubles per month in Russia Nation Wide.
So based on a 80 hour month the lowest Russian makes 93.75 Rubles an hour. That is $1.27 an hour U.S. Dollar
So to fill a 15 gallon tank would cost 2,394 Rubles or $31.50 U.S.
So it would take 25.536 hours before taxes or other expenses to work to fill the tank.
It would take a Minimum Wage Worker (Federal Minimum Wage) just 4.345 hours to fill that tank.
It would take 8.5 hours for the U.S. Minimum Wage Worker here to buy 15 gallons of gas at the average price just two minutes ago when I checked
I'd say the Ruble is hurting. Hurting in a Producer and exporter nation.

I never really watch those videos so I finally watched into that one.
I felt manipulated to be honest. I quit watching.
What was the point he was making? Maybe in a few words.
Thanks.

What specifically did you perceive as manipulative?

I watched a few of his videos and while I generally agreed with most of his reasoning, I felt like he was telling me things I already knew

Because obviously the Ukrainian Army want to open up another front. Must be boring smashing Russians only in the East.

Left, his look is to suck in right wingers and good ole boys and is partly contrived, but mostly real, he speaks from his "man cave", where his target audience spends a lot of their time. He offers intelligent informed commentary and supports liberal democracy, they should give him a segment on the evening TV news.
