Hmm… so are we agreeing that Russia turned off the gas because the EU stopped paying?

by D_Alex 22d ago
But it doesn’t support your claim. In summary, Russia, after having their dollar and euro bank accounts frozen, demanded payment in roubles. It stopped supplying the gas to the customers who weren’t paying. After that, the EU announced it w

Really? Do you have a credible source for this?

by D_Alex 23d ago
The EU has made a difficult problem even worse by switching from pipeline gas to LNG. LNG has anywhere from 10% to 100% more greenhouse gas emissions, depending on who you believe about how much methane leaks during LNG production and trans

That's all true... however the point that Google will get just $1 billion per year from Apple for the AI service is still insightful. If AI use via Apple represents 10% of the total that vaguely implies that the total AI market is wort

2022 was abnormally high, caused largely by the disruption of gas supplies to Western Europe after sanctions on Russian gas and the destruction of the Nordstream gas pipeline.

by D_Alex 6mo ago
Yes, it is nothing like 2022 yet . But the concerning thing is that this may be just a beginning of a protracted event, plus the world, and especially Western Europe, is less resilient today to the disruptions in gas supply.

Ramstein is like 400 km from the sea, Munich is 800 km. I am puzzled that the alleged ship-launched drone swarms were allegedly able to penetrate this far undetected.
