RUSSIAN Self Inflicted Damage

If you would like to support the Channel: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoeBlogs   / joeblogsyt   YouTube Membership -N    / @joeblogs   YouTube Super Thanks (click below) Russia's fuel shortages are creating an unexpected consequence... and it could have major implications for the country's long-term economy. In this video, we examine how ongoing shortages of gasoline and diesel are encouraging more Russian motorists to consider electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, and why that could become a significant problem for a country whose economy depends heavily on oil and gas revenues. We'll look at the latest reports showing increased use of EV charging stations, rising sales of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, and why many of the biggest beneficiaries of this shift are Chinese manufacturers. We'll also explore: • Why Russia's fuel shortages have become so disruptive. • How consumer behaviour changes during periods of uncertainty. • Why electric vehicles reduce long-term demand for gasoline and diesel. • How Chinese car manufacturers have expanded rapidly in the Russian market. • Why this could strengthen China's position while weakening one of Russia's most important industries. • What this means for Russia's economy, energy exports and future growth. Ironically, a country built on oil and gas could be accelerating a transition away from the very products that have underpinned its economy for decades. Is this a temporary reaction to fuel shortages, or the beginning of a much bigger structural change?

Do you think this is simply a short-term response to the current fuel shortages, or could it have lasting consequences for Russia's economy? #russia #ruble #russianeconomy #donaldtrump #globalrecession #russianoil #gdp #rouble #ukraine #uk #pricecap #GLOBALFINANCIALCRISIS #RUBLE #SWIFT #RECESSION #CHINA #USA #NATO #WW3 #WORLDWAR310
