04:28pm, Tuesday, 14'th Dec 2021 Zero Hedge
Putin''s Coup In India Will Shock The US Authored by Simon Watkins via OilPrice.com, Russia last week announced a major new energy cooperation deal with India that threatens the very core of the U.S.s fightback strategy against Beijings and Moscows expansionism in the Middle East and beyond . The main hydrocarbons deal will be for Russia, via oil giant Rosneft, to supply almost 15 million barrels of crude to Indian Oil, by the end of 2022. Given the massive geopolitical ramifications of any sizeable oil deal, it was entirely legitimate for Igor Sechin, Rosneft chief executive officer and close friend of Russian President, Vladimir Putin, to say of the deal that: The signing of a new oil supply contract confirms the strategic nature of the long-term partnership between Rosneft and Indian Oil. The deal takes on even more significance as it was just one part of 28 investment deals between Russia and India signed during the very recent visit of Putin himself to Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.

Morning Digest: Why did Maryland Democrats go soft on redistricting? Here''s who''s to blame
01:30pm, Monday, 13'th Dec 2021 DAILY KOS
The Daily Kos Elections Morning Digest is compiled by David Nir, Jeff Singer, Stephen Wolf, Daniel Donner, and Carolyn Fiddler, with additional contributions from David Jarman, Steve Singiser, James Lambert, David Beard, and Arjun Jaikumar. Leading Off MD Redistricting : Want to know why Maryland Democrats pulled their punches when it came to targeting the state''s lone Republican congressional seat? Slate''s Jim Newell has an excellent new piece detailing which politicians were obstacles to an 8-0 Democratic map, and why. At the top of the list are Rep. Jim Sarbanes and Kweisi Mfume. Sarbanes, as the lead sponsor of H.R. 1, the bill to ban congressional gerrymandering nationwide, was reportedly reluctant to support a maximalist map that would ensure Republican Rep. Andy Harris would lose re-election. Maryland''s new map, however, is still very much a Democratic gerrymanderhalf-hearted though it may beso it''s not as though Sarbanes can pitch himself as above the partisan fray, especially since he declined to criticize the map after it passed.
