About

Paul Warburg is an independent, open-source geopolitical analyst. In a world of murky information that is often made far more complex than it needs to be, I like to speak in plain English to actual human beings, so that everyone can understand what's going on in our world. Expect down-to-earth, but well-thought-through insights, and a place where we can talk seriously about what's happening around us - without taking ourselves too seriously.

Video Description

There's been a lot of chatter about coups lately in Russia. Putin has been making big "busts," especially with claims against Russians living in foreign countries, like Mikhail Khodorkovsky. On top of this, we've seen other things throughout the war - especially "accidents" meeting Russian oligarchs. In this video, I put it all together to show how paranoid Vladimir Putin really is, and what that actually reveals.
