Logistics Collapse Facing Putin - As Food and Farming Soon to be Hit by Shortages! - Silicon Curtain [View all]
Silicon Bites Ep362 | 2026-07-06 | The economist's verdict: total logistical paralysis is coming for Russia and the technocrats are finally saying it out loud. Not the battlefield, nor a burning refinery seven hundred miles behind the front will be the spark that triggers the end of this petro dictatorship. This gas station with a country attacked, controlled by its intelligence services. The irony is that the spark will come from an ordinary petrol station, somewhere in the Russian Terror Federation. The pumps are dry or capped at thirty litres or shut behind a hand-written sign that says, "under renovation." The queue runs down the road sometimes for miles. Some of these people have been standing here for hours. In Siberia this week, one driver waited thirteen hours. This is what four and a half years of Vladimir Putin's imperial adventure has delivered to the population of an aggressor state. Not victory. Not glory. A queue for fuel that may never arrive.
