Qatar has fallen from 2nd to 7th among LNG exporters. In Q3 2026 it shipped 4.0 Mt, against 20.4 Mt in an average 2025 quarter. That’s −80%. Today in Moscow, 🇷🇺 Putin told the Emir of Qatar that market stability “depends on our effective joint work, coordination”. Both are shipping less: 🇶🇦 Qatar −80% 🇷🇺 Russia −11% from its plants The 🇺🇸 US is shipping more: 31.7 Mt in Q3, +15%. 🇦🇺 Australia moved up to 2nd. 🇳🇬 Nigeria moved from 7th to 5th. Putin called it the main problem: “large amounts of supply dropped out of the market in a short period, but demand did not go anywhere.” That missing supply now ships from the US Gulf Coast. themerchantsnews.substack.co…

Qatar has extended its force majeure. This means Europe and Asia will not receive any contracted LNG until the end of 2026 Qatar is no longer an untouchable LNG superpower, and Doha’s export shutdown is reshaping the global energy architecture Here are the key takeaways. 👇🇶🇦🧵

The reason for the return of diplomacy between Europe and Russia is the change in the geopolitical and geoeconomic environment. With oil at over $100, and France on the brink of a debt crisis, Europe is politically and financially not able to maintain its support for Ukraine at the level needed for Ukraine to resist Russia's advance, let alone push back. At no point during the last five years did western European leaders have a strategy to secure Ukraine's victory. Nor did they have a strategy for peace. It is too early to say what yesterday's call between Støre, Stubb and Putin will accomplish, but we are now entering a different phase. eurointelligence.com

Jordan has modern warplanes & drones. Jordan has precision weapons, supplied by the US, supposed to reduce "collateral damage". Jordan has also excellent relations with post-Assad #Syria. A basic coordination with Damascus could have triggered - if needed - a Syrian Security raid on a suspected site. And yet, this is the scenario Jordan chose 👇

Putin on Europe: Europe is dealing a blow to its own industry and social sector by rejecting Russian energy supplies and terminating long-term contracts. You know, in Russia, we have a saying: "Don't dig a pit for someone else, or you might fall into it yourself." In my view, that is exactly what has happened today in the countries of the European Union.

This week, Moscow hosts the third Russia–Africa Summit. Of Africa’s 54 countries, 48 are taking part, with 22 represented by their heads of state (which means a lot of meetings for Putin and other top officials). It’s a smaller gathering than the inaugural Sochi summit in 2019, but larger than the last one in St Petersburg in 2023. Meanwhile, here’s the Russian lunch being served to the African guests. The menu includes herring from the Russian Far East, smoked Murmansk halibut, lightly salted Karelian trout, Kaliningrad sprats, cucumbers from Lukhovitsy, Stavropol tomatoes, beef chebureki, Dagestan lamb chops, Bryansk-style fried potatoes, beef stroganoff, ratatouille made with Krasnodar vegetables and an assortment of Russian desserts.

Pendant qu'on sort des solutions qui induisent une sortie de l'Europe, au moins on ne se prend pas la tête à se demander si l'EPR2 est une solution technique adaptée aux besoins de demain. D'ailleurs on ne se demande pas vraiment quand est demain.
Suite du feuilleton lunaire du financement du nouveau nucléaire. Bruxelles cherche encore à torpiller le nucléaire français au profit du gaz allemand. Car oui, quand il s’agit de financer le gaz allemand, tout va étrangement vite. Mais pour le nucléaire français évidemment, la Commission multiplie les enquêtes, les conditions et les obstacles. Dernière dinguerie en date : un ARENH 2.0 sur les nouveaux réacteurs EPR2 ! Toujours pour suivre ce dogme de la concurrence et pour permettre à des fournisseurs alternatifs de se gaver sur le dos d'EDF et des français. Il en est absolument hors de question. Avec @MLP_officiel, nous financerons notre nucléaire comme nous l’entendons, via un fond souverain qui financera l'entièreté du montant. Sans demander quelconque permission à qui que ce soit et avec un seul objectif : les intérêts de la France et des français. La Commission Européenne devrait ne pas oublier que la France reste de loin contributrice nette au budget de l'UE. lalettre.fr/fr/entreprises_e…

Sans vouloir critiquer ceux qui n'ont pas élevé d'enfant car chacun est libre de ce choix, j'ai du mal à imaginer comment quelqu'un qui ne l'a jamais fait puisse "sentir" ce qui relève de la jeunesse. Surtout quand la sienne a été atypique.

The image of the Houthis as a primitive militia fighting barefoot is misleading and increasingly outdated. This cave-based command post features a satellite-connected laptop, tablet, secured landline telephone, two-way radios, printer, and solar-powered electrical systems. Notice the communications reference card hanging around his neck, it contains radio call signs, unit identifiers, and command codes used for coordination and mobilization. This is an organized military communications infrastructure, not simply men with rifles and sandals. This is the result of 22 years of fighting an insurgency, adapting, and learning on the battlefield, combined with lessons drawn from Lebanese Hezbollah, Iraq’s Islamic Resistance, and Iran’s IRGC Quds Force.

Syria is four months into its latest army restructuring process: building new regional corps. How does this fit into the broader faction integration of the past two years, what major changes have already been made to the corps, and who has been empowered? My latest: syriarevisited.com/p/new-cor…

Remplacer le "sang impur" des ennemis' par "un sang uni" ne veut strictement rien dire. Sang de qui ? Union de qui ? Des Français ? Des Français et de leurs ennemis ? Il a existé une version savante de ce contresens. Il y a quelques années, un professeur de lettres, Frédéric Dufourg, avait défendu l'idée selon laquelle le "sang impur" ferait référence au sang des révolutionnaires eux-mêmes. Selon cette interprétation, le peuple reprenait avec ironie le mépris de la noblesse (qui se targuait d'avoir le "sang pur" et bleu), affirmant ainsi sa volonté de verser son propre sang "impur" (roturier) pour défendre la patrie. Cette thèse a été rigoureusement réfutée par tous les spécialistes sérieux de la Révolution, quel que soit leur bord (Jean-Clément Martin aussi bien que Patrice Gueniffey). Ce contresens, quand il est savant, trahit surtout la difficulté que certains éprouvent encore avec le caractère guerrier de notre hymne national (certains aimeraient oublier que la guerre existe et qu'il faut parfois prendre les armes). Il vient aussi démontrer à quel point il est difficile de restituer aux mots leur sens contextuel (cette notion de "sang impur", aujourd'hui n'est tout simplement plus admise, parce que plus comprise). Dans le cas de Nina Tonji, cela montre plus simplement qu'elle ne sait pas ce qu'elle chante.
🇫🇷🇺🇸🏈 EN IMAGES | La Marseillaise est chantée au Stade de France avant le premier match de NFL à Paris, ce dimanche, entre les Pittsburgh Steelers et les New Orleans Saints. Pour l'occasion, la chanteuse Nina Tonji modifie légèrement les paroles de l’hymne : « Qu’un sang impur » devient « Qu’un sang uni ».

When Israel went to war against Iran in the past, its generals and spies were behind Netanyahu. He no longer has that level of support: "Israel's intelligence community does not accept that the Iranians have restarted their nuclear programme, nor that there is any imminent threat that currently justifies going to war." economist.com/middle-east-an…

Some great photos have been released of a SAAF Rooivalk at the Dragon Peaks Park camp in the Drakensberg, for the first time in quite a few years. The camp, in which crews train in high-altitude mountain conditions, featured 3 A109s, an Oryx & BK117 in addition to the Rooivalk.

Fertilizer through Hormuz has dropped to zero. No fertilizer cargoes crossing the strait in September or October. Before the war, about 20% of the world’s traded nitrogen fertilizer went through it, Fertilizer Daily reports. The Gulf also supplies about half of the world’s traded sulfur. Hear me out: urea isn’t the problem. China raised its nitrogen exports about 47% and the US about 60%. By the end of August urea was back to its January price, IFPRI data shows. Sulfur is the problem. It has more than doubled, to above $1,000 a tonne, and phosphate is up 25–30%. You need sulfur to make phosphate fertilizer. Mosaic has idled two Louisiana plants, and India’s fertilizer subsidy bill could pass 3 trillion rupees, against 1.71 trillion budgeted. Oil found other ways out of the Gulf. Sulfur hasn’t. source: World Visualized
