Ukraine is open to the possibility of attacking Russia’s oil and gas infrastructure if Moscow ramps up its targeting of Ukraine’s electric system this winter, Ukraine Energy Minister German Galushchenko said in an interview.Galushchenko, speaking with POLITICO in Washington, D.C., after meeting with Biden administration officials and lawmakers, said Russia has regularly perpetrated cyberattacks against Ukraine’s electric grid and is expected to ramp up physical attacks as temperatures fall and people depend more on energy to heat their homes.Hiscomments came after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last month Ukraine, which has launched multiple attacks against Russian targets, would “respond” if Russia stepped up attacks on his country’s power grid this winter. This could open the door to the possibility that the European conflict could add more turmoil to global energy markets.When asked if Zelenskyy’s “response” could include Ukraine targeting Russia’s vast oil and gas op...Skywatch: A lion spewing shooting stars

From this coming Friday night to Saturday morning, Nov. 17-18, there’s going to be a fairly nice show happening in the sky. It’s the annual Leonid meteor shower, considered a moderate shower most years. This year’s conditions for viewing the Leonids should be wonderful because the moon will be out of the sky and won’t visually wash out any of the meteors or “shooting stars.”If you’re not out there already, get out into the dark countryside where you may see 15 to 20 meteors an hour, or more. The Leonids are known to be surprising some years. Without moonlight, the sky will serve as a nice dark backdrop. Watching a meteor shower properly takes some discipline. You might see a few meteors in the early evening, but the bulk of the meteors will streak across the sky from midnight to just before the start of the morning twilight on the 18th. The best thing to do is go to bed early and set your alarm clock for just before midnight.Most meteor show...Trudy Rubin: In the war between Ukraine and Russia, which side is the GOP on?

The “party of Putin,” also known as the Republican Party, seems determined to help Vladimir Putin defeat Ukraine.By boosting the Russian president, the GOP is not only undermining U.S. security and supporting a dangerous adversary, but it is also helping Hamas in its effort to destroy the Israeli state.You don’t believe me? Consider the following.The House Republican majority, cowed by its MAGA wing and encouraged by Donald Trump, has rushed to abandon Ukraine. Mike Johnson, the newly installed speaker, ripped up a combined military assistance package for Israel and Ukraine and eliminated aid for Kyiv.And now, even Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who previously pushed back forcefully against GOP isolationists, seems to have been swayed by the extremists. That is dangerous for U.S. security and for Israel, as well.At first, McConnell tried to fight back against MAGA recklessness.“Some say our support for Ukraine comes at the expense of more important p...Bridge: Nov. 12, 2023

The Spingold Teams, the main event at the ACBL Summer NABC, underscored the deluge of professionalism in top-level bridge as well as the transition of the League’s “North American” tournaments to international events. Many “sponsored” teams with U.S. pros were ousted early, and in the semifinals, only two of 22 players were from the U.S.The impact of players from overseas may be due to the support of youth bridge in European countries and especially in China. The U.S. is striving to keep up; many excellent programs to attract young players have begun. At the NABC, the ACBL staged a three-day Youth NABC, and scores of kids competed for trophies and scholarships. Moreover, bridge is coming back on campus: At the NABC, Georgia Tech won the Collegiate Bridge Bowl competition.As for the Spingold, the team in the semifinals with U.S. players won it all. Marty Fleisher’s team prevailed in the final against a (mostly) Swedish squad led by newcomer Leif Bremark. The match was close, and bett...Word Game: Nov. 12, 2023
