Running the troll farms and similar projects is not that cheap.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Russian funding dries up after the war.

He did, but that was not Delivery Hero. That he founded Delivery Hero in Berlin with the founders of Lieferhelden. Then Delivery Hero bought his old company and also Lieferhelden.

They are not from Sweden, but were founded in Berlin. It might have been some AI being confused by the SE in the company name.

Russia has 83 regions and 6 which are generally considered to be part of Ukraine. So this is wide spread.

Maduro threatened to invade Guyana. For that he build up military forces at the border. It was seen as serious enough that Lula, who is not exactly a lover of US interest order the Brazilian military to the border to keep Venezuela in check.

Holy crap is this article bad.

There is a massive difference between allowing the US to fly missions from ones territory and going to war against Iran. Europeans mostly blame the US for high oil prices and not their local politicians.

Also this idea of the EU just waiting for the US to come and sort out the Ukraine war is laughable. That is not happening and honestly has not been the case for two years or so. The EU has ignored US wishes repeatedly. Like for example most of the anti refinery campaign Ukraine does against Russia is not just financed by the EU, but also a lot of the production of those drones has been quietly move on EU territory. There is clearly a plan to defeat Russia, which is actually pretty long term and currently being executed. That plan mostly does not involve the US, besides Patriot interceptors.

Right now Russia is by far the biggest security problem in the EU. Venezuela under Maduro supported Russia. They also caused problems in the entire region, which countries like Spain, with deep ties in Latin America are not happy about either. At the same time it has the potential of opening up the Venezuelan oil market. For the EU the abduction of Maduro was a net benefit.

It is actually somewhat bigger than that. Athens had a local silver mine at Laurion. That allowed them to mint a lot of coins, which they did in the same sizes for centuries. That standard was also used by a lot of other rulers most notably Alexander the Great. That ended up with that coin standard being used in Ptolemaic Egypt, by the Parthians and so on.

They massively lowered prices and they are available. If you buy an EV from say VW you have to wait a year until it gets delivered. Yes the company wanting to close EV factories.

Okay, so to be blown up by the Ukrainians in the deadliest waters in the world.

Why are they heading into the Med? Egypt?

In relative terms this makes sense. The Euro zone already has the euro and there have been few large scale reforms in the finance era. In other words the base line is already good and few improvements have been made.

The population decline is especially strong in the less densely populated provinces of Italy and also the south. Also the baby boomers are currently at retirement age and not quite at the age of them really starting to die on mass. So this will probably go faster.

These are really important to detect longer range rocket launches.

Supply and demand my friend. The issue Russia has is that they sold their gas via pipelines to Europe. Those pipelines do not connect to many other places besides Turkey and they also have few LNG terminals. The pipelines to China are in a different network, so they can not just move the gas to China. Therefore it actually increase the global gas supply, if Europe buys Russian pipeline gas in large quantities again. More supply means lower global prices.

One of the NordStream pipelines is also still around.

They do understand that it is cheaper to transport gas via pipeline than via LNG shipping? If Russian gas is added to the European gas market it is going to replace LNG. Most of that comes from the US.

It however clearly shows that Europe has to lower fossil fuel consumption quickly and long term.

What law are they breaking?
