Episode notes

Tens of thousands of russians are fleeing their country as the war in ukraine intensifies. China does import some energy from russia, but it's not actually a lot. Analysts say losing a good chunk of the population could cause significant damage to an economy already hit by western sanctions. The golden arches will temporarily close all 850 of its restaurants and Macdonalds said it was impossible to predict when they would reopen.

The US and UK banned Russian oil and gas imports on Tuesday to punish Moscow for invading Ukraine, the stalled green revolution, and Russians are fleeing the country.
