Nope, not even remotely similar in plausibility...
1) Russia is actively involved in the current instability in the Ukraine... To deny this is about as rational as denying that the sun rises in the east
2) Russia has, numerous times actually, used natural gas disruptions, or threats of gas disruptions as a political tool
3) America, as you said it, has a massive gas glut. Russia wasn't behaving badly (more or ess) when the big LNG export megaproducts got started off the coast of Louisiana.

Even if Russia wasn't acting pants-on-head crazy and jeopardizing their own self-interests we still would have been able to undercut their price gouging in Europe.. And there is also the Asian market, which stands to be a big customer of North American natural gas, regardless of Russia's antics.

That's as real as realpolitik and real-econmick gets. These are all facts, verifiable from multiple sources.. To say unsourced proclamations that the united states is somehow "staging" political changes in the Ukraine so that we can sell gas is "about as plausible" is pure hysterics...

I don't think it's a coincidence that Russia is acting up, and grabbing what it can grab, right at this moment.
Europe's push for renewable energy, coupled with the fact that large-scale LNG exports are due to come online from North America in the next few years means that using energy disruption, or even the threat of it, as a foreign policy weapon is going to be FAR less effective.

I think not...

Oh, but Europeans love to think that...
I've been to the UK numerous times, no shortage of lard buckets

Wide is the path to destruction, and many shall find it!

exactly
you don't want to be in the situation where you have to hire a bunch of fresh-faced engineers who have never built a sub before, and have no one to ask because everybody who has is either dead or retired

reminds of a story I heard about stained glass.. evidently there are some forms of stained glass made in medieval/renaissance times that we have no idea how to make today...

His conclusions were wrong, just wrong, his decision to allow continued access to rdrand was irresponsible...
Even the smartest guy in the room is going to be wrong from time to time, the difficulty is getting them to accept it.

It's not just America
Although Europeans love to act like that...
We're just a few years ahead of the rest of the pack
I go to Western Europe semi-regularly, no shortage of fatasses, especially the UK...

Republic Wireless has been doing this for awhile now.
Works right out of the box...
Sorry, apple isn't first here, or, first to make it usable.
Of course republic gives you WiFi calling, unlimited talk, text, and 4g data for 40$ a month so Apple can still rightfully claim they are the first to charge entirely too much for it...

Or just blowing it to hell with a conventional ballistic missile (which is also "hypersonic").

It was cold last winter, some days even colder than average, "global warming" LOL

400M is a bit much, but then again it's the NFL which is the most well run sport (in the business sense, ethically notsomuch) in the US and possibly the world.. They have more money than they know what to do with...

Because austrialian rules football isn't anywhere nearly as complicated..., and the start/stop, line of scrimage concept in American football renders it much more dangerous, things like padding and helmets were added because a not so insignificant number of people were dying playing the game (as opposed to just slowly turning their brains to mush, which is apparently more acceptable).
but other than that, yah you totally have a point

Yep, pretty much this..
If you aren't using a modern IDE like eclipse for Java, or VIsual Studio for .net languages, you're doing it wrong
It's like pulling an automobile with a rope tied to your balls, impressive, but there are better ways to get the job done.

Where editors like vi and Emacs, in the hands of an expert, still shine is configuration file maintenance, and really file maintenance on any text that isn't compilable source code.
I really wish I knew them better than I do, just for that reason. I can use them, but just at a basic level.
