Russia loses key leverage over Europe after Ukraine halts gas transit, FM Sybiha says

Ukraine terminated #Russian natural #gas transit through its territory on Jan. 1. Kyiv repeatedly warned it would not renew the transit agreement to avoid financing Russia’s #war.

“Ukraine has cut off more than just Russian gas transit. We have cut off some of Putin’s last remaining #leverage over #Europe, and his use of #energy as a #weapon,”

Even though markets have steadied, the episode is raising alarms about how much #leverage had built up around #Japan as #BoJ kept pumping out cash despite the post-pandemic inflation surge, chart @markets https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-11/carry-trade-blowup-haunts-markets-rattled-by-rapid-fire-unwind

@SBJ@sportsbots.xyz Probably the best time ever to ask. #Leverage

I bought a Replicant ( https://covertinstruments.com/products/replicant ) yesterday. I’m wondering what else I can make impressions of.*

It reminds me of when Parker made a copy of the bank’s safety deposit box master key. Now I just have to learn how to jump off buildings.

*Also wondering what law enforcement will think of a little kit with white powder, a lighter and a spoon…

Still waiting for LPL’s pocket EMP.

Eventually, the #terrorists bluff and overestimate their political power by taking everything #hostage.

No one enjoys the taking of #hostages but that is the only #leverage #terrorism can create.

A Pivot to #China Saved #ElonMusk. It Also Binds Him to Beijing.

#Tesla & China built a symbiotic relationship, with credits, workers & parts that made #Musk ultrarich. Now, his reliance on the country may give Beijing #leverage.

Parker, waving a screwdriver around like a magic wand will not make technology work. It's not magic, despite both me and Hardison referring to ourselves as wizards.

On YouTube no matter what I search for or watch, it tries to feed me Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson and a rotating cast of right wing maniacs.

Sort by most recent? It's a trough of spammy right wing pravda.

I was just searching for #Leverage clips. Leverage is TV that one of the creators described as a show that he went into as a capitalist and came out as a card-carrying socialist. (paraphrasing John Rogers)

This, minor as it is, is the sort of systemic bias that should be obvious to people.

You can trust Parker to drive. She was a getaway driver before she hit puberty.

(annoyed) "I'm hacking a security system the Pentagon calls 'overkill' with a laptop I found in the back of my car!"

If anyone can do it, Hardison, it's you.
