Drönarattackerna mot kommersiella fartyg utanför Bulgarien framstår allt mer som ett test av NATO:s sammanhållning. Tyvärr vältajmat från Rysslands sida (officiell skuld ej fastslagen). Och bra val av arena, då NATO:s handlingsutrymme i Svarta havet begränsas av Montreuxkonventionen

EU Foreign Ministers just adopted nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex. This is the single largest expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started its war. Europe is again showing a united front.

Two most important facts: 1) since Trump became President, attacks on Ukraine have grown substantially in volume and scale. 2) Since Trump became President the US has committed zero (yes, zero) new dollars to support Ukraine.

One of the biggest consequences of Russia's war will be a changed Germany. It took a long time, but Germany is changing its approach to military force, to intelligence, to the arms industry. The result will be a huge expansion of European military power, firmly directed at Moscow.

Osäker på om det är klokt från svenskt perspektiv att hålla den snåla EU-linjen i långtidsbudgetförhandlingarna. I många frågor gör resurserna större nytta i Bryssel. Svenska intressen gynnas när EU talar med en röst. Ensamma är vi svaga. Europeiska intressen bör betraktas som svenska kärnintressen

This might be one of the funniest chart about energy scenarios I’ve seen. You can hardly see “actual” for gas

Winners and Losers
The IEA overestimated gas growth in Asia and underestimated solar

Gas
• Forecast 547 TWh
• Actual 17 TWh

Solar
• Forecast 465 TWh
• Actual 1,333 TWh

Note: Shows expected growth in Asian power generation between 2018 and 2025, based on actual 2018 generation, actual 2025 generation, and the 2018 World Energy Outlook's Current Policies Scenario estimates for 2025. Actual 2025 generation figures are from Ember.
