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.
