Lessons (after 2022): “ Although Europe drastically reduced dependence on Russian oil and gas, the global energy system remained organized around fuels whose production and movements are concentrated in a small number of states, infrastructures, and chokepoints. The current crisis demonstrates that advanced economies should hasten the transition to renewable energy sources and away from hydrocarbons.”
And assist other economies to do so too.

#Trump, used expletive-laden language to call on #Iran to let ships through the #StraitOfHormuz as he threatened to further #attack #this #Iranian energy and transport #infrastructure.

Writing on #TruthSocial Trump said: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.”

Iran’s parliament speaker responded with a warning that the US president’s “reckless moves” would mean “our whole region is going to burn”. Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, added in a social media post: “Make no mistake: You won’t gain anything through war crimes. The only real solution is respecting the rights of the Iranian people and ending this dangerous game.”

Trump was sharply rebuked by US politicians, including #Republican former ally #MarjorieTaylorGreene, who called on the administration to “intervene in Trump’s #madness”, adding the president “has gone insane, and all of you are complicit”.

Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer wrote “the President of the United States is ranting like an #unhinged #madman on social media”. Schumer added: “He’s threatening possible #warcrimes and alienating allies. This is who he is, but this is not who we are. Our country deserves so much better.”

마이크로소프트가 2026~2029년 일본에 총 100억 달러를 투자한다고 발표했다. ‘기술, 신뢰, 인재’를 축으로 하며, 일본의 경제·AI 인프라 강화와 국가 우선순위에 맞춘 대규모 전략 투자로 보인다.
