The end of Russia’s gas era

Putin tells Russia’s energy sector: There’s no going back to EU

In an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin, the president noted that Russia could theoretically stop supplying gas to Western European markets immediately rather than in a month, as proposed by the EU. Moscow, he suggested, could instead concentrate on more promising markets elsewhere.

Formally, no final decision has been made. Putin has only instructed the government to study the issue. But even this preliminary statement should not be dismissed as rhetorical flourish. It carries a clear meaning.

Contrary to what some observers assume, the signal is not primarily directed at the EU or other external players. It is addressed to economic actors inside Russia who still hope for a return to the old model, one in which the country’s energy industry was built around “traditional markets” in the West.

In more human terms, the message could be interpreted as follows: are you certain that Western Europe remains a reliable partner?

The warning is simple. The current surge of EU interest in Russian oil and gas, fueled in part by instability in the Persian Gulf, may prove temporary. Betting the country’s long-term strategy on such fluctuating demand would be risky.

For this reason, the emphasis on “promising markets” in the president’s remarks should not be overlooked. Putin rarely uses words casually in public speeches. In this case the term was clearly stressed, and the implication is obvious: Western European markets are increasingly viewed as declining rather than promising.

White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt clarified President Donald Trump’s demand for an “unconditional surrender” of Iran.

“Iran will essentially be in a place of unconditional surrender … whether they say it themselves or not,” she told journalists, adding that the US would stop the strikes if Trump “determines that Iran no longer poses a threat to the United States of America.”

British planes have been helping shoot down missiles and drones after an Iranian UAV hit a UK air base in Cyprus.

“If you have someone with a gun shooting, stopping the bullets is not enough, you need to go after the weapon,” Badenoch told BBC Breakfast.

SICK: Indiana Activist Judge Rules There is a ‘Religious Right’ to Kill Babies in Abortions — Blocks State Ban

Marion Superior Court Judge Christina Klineman.

The decision blocks enforcement of Indiana’s abortion ban for a certified class of plaintiffs and members of the activist group “Hoosier Jews for Choice,” who argued that abortion can be a religious practice.

In the order, the court accepted arguments that abortion may qualify as a form of religious exercise protected by Indiana’s RFRA if individuals claim their beliefs require terminating a pregnancy.

The ruling states that the plaintiffs believe their religion can require abortion under certain circumstances, including situations involving mental, emotional, or physical wellbeing.

“The organization and its members believe that under Jewish law, an abortion is directed to occur if it is necessary to prevent physical, mental, or emotional harm to a pregnant person, even if there is not a physical health risk that is likely to cause substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function,” the court wrote.

Judge Klineman concluded that enforcing Indiana’s abortion restrictions against people who claim such beliefs would “substantially burden” their religious exercise under state law.
