WHY AI POWER WILL BE CLAIMED IN THE NEXT THIRTY MONTHS, AND BY WHOM

India and Russia cannot win the race for AI capacity. They can contest the race for standing, and India can be the witness.

From the opening:
“Most talk of AI power counts assets: chips, clusters, parameters, capital. On that count India and Russia will trail Washington and Beijing for years. But counting assets mistakes the nature of the contest.”

By Dr Yashwant Singh, Assistant Professor of Sociology, GITAM University, Bengaluru

THE PRICE CAP DIDN'T STOP RUSSIAN OIL. IT CREATED A TOLL BOOTH.

The G7 price cap kept Russian oil flowing but spawned a shadow fleet that taxes every barrel along the way. Who pays the toll?

The price cap was meant to cut Russia's revenue while keeping its oil on the market. Its enforcement built a parallel shipping system whose costs are shared unevenly by exporters, shipowners, insurers, traders and refiners.

From the opening:
“Nearly four years after the Group of Seven, the European Union and Australia imposed a price cap on Russian seaborne crude, that oil is still reaching global markets largely as before. This is not, by itself, evidence that the policy failed. The U.S.”

WASHINGTON IS NOW DEFENDING RUSSIA'S OIL REFINERIES

Diesel at $6.05 has turned Russia's war economy into something America needs intact. What that costs Ukraine, and sanctions.

American diesel passed $6 a gallon on Friday. On Sunday the President asked Ukraine to stop destroying the refineries of the country he is sanctioning. The two facts are the same fact.

From the opening:
“On Friday the average price of a gallon of diesel in the United States reached $6.05, the highest ever recorded. A year ago it was $3.71. In California it is now $7.98. On Sunday, President Trump was asked about it. His answer was not about Iran, whose tankers the United States Navy has spent the month destroying.”

DOES RUSSIA ALIENATE RUSSIANS IT LATER CLAIMS IT MUST PROTECT?

Russia's war has driven Russians into neighbouring countries, potentially creating the very diaspora populations Moscow could someday invoke to justify political pressure or intervention.

From the opening:
“Russia's war in Ukraine brings back memories of Germany before the Second World War. Before the war began, Adolf Hitler repeatedly used the existence of ethnic Germans living outside Germany's borders as his principal reason to invade another country with the goal of territorial expansion.”

By Jason Lee Havlik, Former U.S. security and counterintelligence contractor

HOW FAR CAN EUROPE GO FOR UKRAINE?

“This week, the Ukraine Recovery Conference wrapped up in Gdańsk, Poland. Five thousand participants from 70 countries. 160 deals worth €10 billion signed. The EU handed over the first €3.2 billion tranche of its massive new loan package.”
