How India Ruined the Russian Economy

It’s no secret that India has been purchasing Russian oil in the climate of strict sanctions placed on Russia as a result of its invasion of Ukraine. But is this oil trade actually benefiting Russia? Or, is it a sign of India’s replacement of Russia in BRICS and among the emerging market economies on the world stage? In this episode, we discuss the Ukraine War, Russian oil sanctions, the G7 price cap on Russian oil, the rise of India, and even India’s landing on the moon - and we weave it all together to show why it’s all bad news for Vladimir Putin.
