Defying sanctions, Russia has obtained nearly $4 billion in restricted chips since its full scale invasion in Ukraine. Many were shipped through a cluster of shell companies in Hong Kong. https://t.co/b34fVP90Xb

some of us gripe about the press often, but a reporter refusing to quote members of the House or Senate because their interviews undermine the story's thesis feels like a major journalistic breach.

will be interested to see how the Journal responds.

Within a decade, hybrid warfare against the West and Ukraine escalated into the largest war in Europe since WWII. To grasp how a demographically and economically smaller Russia achieved this, we need to look at the underlying processes, including escalation management. 🧵Thread

That's up by more than 1,100%.
And NB these aren't just ANY goods. They're precisely the machinery/car imports we can no longer send to Russia. All going to Kyrgyzstan. And then almost certainly onwards to Russia (tho the paper trail tends to end when goods leave UK)

🚨How British companies are bolstering Vladimir Putin’s war machine🚨
A depressing thread.
But an important one.
With some pretty shocking charts.
Let’s begin with the “official” picture. It suggests UK trade with Russia has collapsed since Feb 2022. Down by 74%…

[Ed Conway @EdConwaySky]

Anyway.
Here's my full story on this shocking phenomenon👇
On how UK companies seem to be sending millions of pounds worth of supposedly banned equipment to Russia via the shadow economy.
Equipment which we know has been used to kill Ukrainians... Ugh https://t.co/MaSnInWJgB

@markwilde @Cambridge_Uni Just FYI, if you get one of these jobs, you can pop by @QuantinuumQC in Cambridge and give a seminar about your research on Friday.

INFORMED-AI is a joint program run by the University of Bristol, the University of Cambridge, Durham University, and Imperial College London. The successful candidates will based in Cambridge, hosted by Nilanjana Datta (DAMTP), Ioannis Kontoyiannis, and/or Po-Ling Loh (DPMMS)...

"3 positions for postdocs to work in information theory, quantum information theory, and statistical inference @Cambridge_Uni. These positions will be funded by the EPSRC AI Hub on Information Theory for Distributed Artificial Intelligence (INFORMED-AI)."

Just so everyone's clear: This would mean that Russia successfully used Grassley, Comer, Fox News and others to damage the President of the United States and make fake info about him an article of faith on the right.
