The End of Russia As An Oil Power

I was watching this video and heard an assertion that America goaded the Russians into War. Of course I had to respond This is what I said.

America did push the Russians into a corner. And Russia, falling in with the plan, responded with its weakest tool. The Russian Army. Russia has finished itself as a 'Great Power'. Because you can't be a Great Power without a credible economy and a working Army. The world is going off oil. What will Russia sell? Lumber?

Russia's best were holding Kherson. The best part of their Army couldn't hold its ground. What does that say about the weaker elements coming forward now and in the future??

Also note - the end of oil would have pushed them in any case. We just hurried the transition and made American oil companies richer by reducing Russian flows. The Saudis are helping in that endeavor by reducing their flows. Even America's enemies want to help it.

America in a sense controls the world oil market by renting out oil technicians. Be nice or we will sanction your help. They weren't. We did. Russia is done as an oil power a little earlier than the end of the oil era.
