What factors caused this shift in Russia's trade partners?

This dramatic change is due to the EU drastically reducing its purchases of Russian oil and gas in response to the invasion, while China and India have filled the gap. While official statistics don't fully capture the extent of this shift (due to unrecorded shipments via a "shadow fleet"), the trend remains undeniable.

How does Warnig's proposal connect to broader geopolitical dynamics and the history of Russian energy relations with Europe?

Warnig's proposal aims to leverage US investors to pressure Washington into a deal with Gazprom, restarting Nord Stream 2. This strategy potentially offers the US significant leverage over European energy markets, but hinges on the US lifting sanctions against Russia and Germany accepting Russian gas despite past unreliability. Reports indicate that the Trump administration was aware of the initiative and considered it a potential bargaining chip in negotiations with Moscow.

What are the long-term strategic risks and benefits for the US and Europe of reviving Nord Stream 2, considering energy security, geopolitical stability, and the ongoing war in Ukraine?

The potential success of this initiative hinges on the lifting of sanctions against Gazprom and German approval for Nord Stream 2. The pipeline symbolizes Germany's past dependence on Russia, a reliance that was heavily criticized by its eastern neighbors. This attempt to revive the pipeline could reshape energy relations in Europe, potentially exacerbating existing geopolitical tensions and altering the balance of power in the region.

How do the observations of tourists on this recent trip to North Korea contrast with the regime's public image and propaganda?

The resumption of Western tours to North Korea provides a rare window into the country's realities, contrasting the regime's carefully curated image with the observed dilapidation and limited access. The tourists' movements are heavily restricted, reflecting both the regime's control and lingering concerns about COVID-19. The economic zone of Rason serves as a controlled environment for experimentation with capitalist policies within a socialist state.
