603: Revolution of Dignity
Gazprom Ownership, BP Oligarch Conflict, Russian Isolation
The hosts trace the current animosity toward Russia back to Vladimir Putin's crackdown on oligarchs and the subsequent "screwing" of Western oil partners like BP. They argue the current strategy is to isolate Russia and cut them off from the global gas transport system as retaliation for past business conflicts.
