Nigel recently published a really interesting report about why Russia's war, on its present course, has reached a breaking point - when it is no longer economically and demographically sustainable. What Nigel argues is that this will almost inevitably result in a major crisis, both political and financial, that is about to hit Russia within about a year from now - and why in order to keep fighting, the Kremlin will be forced to strip away the last freedoms Russians have and drag the country back toward a Soviet-style governance and economy, with all the social upheaval that it would bring. It’s a fascinating analysis that follows a clear logic and a chain of events - and it’s definitely worth listening to.","meta_description":"➡️ Watch the full interview ad-free, join a community of geopolitics enthusiasts and gain access to exclusive content on PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1951,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/decoding-geopolitics-podcast-with-dominik-presl-6862131/episodes/nigel-gould-davies-russia-s-war-is-becoming-unsustainable-now-the-real-crisis-is-about-to-begin/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/decoding-geopolitics-podcast-with-dominik-presl-6862131/nigel-gould-davies-russia-s-war-is-becoming-unsustainable-now-the-real-crisis-is-about-to-begin.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
