Oil fuels international conflict, corruption and authoritarianism while also killing the planet. Until now, most nations were happy to put up with this, but Russia’s war with Ukraine may spell an end to that.
So far, EU countries have paid Russia $44 billion for oil and gas since the conflict began. In this episode, we investigate how the fossil fuels are financing Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

I like how vice ignores the fact that the US is the number one consumer and refiner of oil by a huge margin. They mention dictators and corrupt regimes being cursed by oil. No mention of the US….
Vice will always be simple propaganda for simple American minds.
Our planet now is just a massive toilet, everything from the water we drink to the very air we breathe is heavily contaminated by man-made chemicals, oil, heavy metals and radioactive waste. As far as saving our planet We've shot past the point of no return a long time ago and I'm afraid that no green energy initiative will ever be enough. Hundreds of species go extinct every year and those are the species we've discovered who knows how many more we've lost. Our time on this planet is coming to an end wether it's by conflict or sickness and starvation and with global temperatures rising every year and the ever growing shortage of clean drinkable water our time on this planet shouldn't be measured in centuries or even decades it should be measured in generations.
Lies the world won't change a thing. They will source it else where.
Poor Ukraine, caught between 2 empires trying to stop each other…
Here ya go 🖕🖕 from a ordinary American 🖕🖕 this channel and anybody against america
Briefly: "Oil countries are such not democratic so its need to be democratization." Usual imperialist propaganda of war
In short OIL RUNS THE WORLD .
Biden and NATO seems to start the war for domination of the world! When at meetings about war against Putin, Biden can speak straight from his mouth without aids of note and confidence at what he wanted to say.
lmao send more pistols to Ukraine ahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha nice thinking
OIL LMAO YOU MAKE ME LAUGH
Let's go GREEN!
Putin is doing what's best for his country..ANY COUNTRY would do the same..US,UK,JAPAN AUSTRALIA any of them would do the same
Damn global warming bullshit always what fool blame everything
It seems like the sanctions are backfiring
When I see Libya here I start to laugh because this video can’t be serious about ignoring Americas damage. Libyans will pay to go back to Gadhaffi
I hope there's no war,no hunger,no poor people and no stupid presidents
They forgot about the Iran regime use of oil to finance terrorism, why weren't they mentioned??
The oil spills are the result of oil thieves damaging pipelines to steal the oil. Destitute people are stupid, unfortunately.
Remember, the U.S is to blame for everything in this destabilized world. The U.S supports dictators and tyrants.
Please, USA is a reason of dozens of wars now. Is it a superpower curse? Or an oil curse too? Does the USA got brutal dictatorship, that allows start war in Grenada, Libiya, Yougoslavia, Siria, Iraq, Afganistan?
Could have been produced by the State Dept or CIA. Same diff.
The propiganda is mind blowing. No one really believes we are going to stop using oil. If you want to cut the power and go back to the 1800s that's fine, but stop spreading the lie about green energy. This is being talked about everywhere like it's something that's going to happen. It's not possible and the wide spread propiganda is just a sign that powerful people are out to get us. Welcome to 1984
