Well, this is a new level of attack by Russian 5th column agents. Also, WTF with removing the thread from the politics section; it's like someone is trying to contain and hide issues with regards to what is going on in the conflict, and we had separate military and political threads for this...

No, over in Arizona; the chip plant that was going in there was having DEI issues with getting the hiring done right. I thought Intel was another one who had most gear in Taiwan; if they are mostly in Israel, that is a little bit of breathing room on the chip supply if things go loud near Taiwan.

I'm not talking about putting these in the highest end gear, but as a stop gap where high end chips may be needed in middling importance gear, so the good chips can be husbanded for the most critical piece's of war material. It's more about logistical/production redundancy in the face of...

...yeah, maybe, if DC's many, many CCP pawns are finally removed before the CCP launch their go. Not holding my breath on that. From what I'd seen DEI issues related to hiring and actually having people who are more than diversity quota positions getting into the pipeline. Tax issues are news...

And when the CCP goes for Taiwan and the chip fabs are only half done, and the 'modern' chip supply suddenly no longer is what it once was, what other stopgaps are there to fill the void that will be left? Because the stupid DEI mandates, CO2 hysteria, and other similar stupidity are seriously...

Power feed issues are more solvable than the really fancy chip issues right now, from what it sounds like. Replacing some fancier chips that need hyperspecialize equipment to make, and a hypercompetent workforce to maintain, with some micro-vacuum-tubes for some purposes seems like a decent...

All this issue over chip production makes me think that micro-vacuum-tube type chips that have come into/back into fashion lately might see more uses than before. Lot easier to build small vacuum-tubes quickly while the fancier chips get new produciton spun up.

Or we could just seize and sanction all of Russia's foreign assets and use those to fund a renovation of the US space industry and education pipeline. Why shouldn't the US make our enemies rightfully seized assets fund our own renovation?

Go psy-op someone who will fall for those lines of bullshit. I mean you aren't wrong, even if I don't think 'conservatism' per se is the common thread behind UA support. More like having some critical thinking skills and not being a dedicated and prideful contrarian is the common thread I've...

The multiplanetary life desire would be helped with that equipment/basing option. And we won't blow this one up breaking up Russia after they are pushed out of Ukraine. There are many, many, many reason to support UA against Russian aggression. And it was far from just the 'neo-cons' who...

No, your just a stubborn ass who won't admit when he's been played. I know when I've been played, and guess what, people like you are the one's who've been trying to play me for years by pretending to be a 'friend', until I stopped believing Putin's BS about the forces in Belarus being 'on...

Except it very much is, you just do not want people to care about what happens outside the US when it conflicts with your peferred narratives and biases. Nor do I believe Ukraine, or more pointedly Zelensky's government, messed with US elections. The fact is the 'bury our heads in the sand'...

Well, the flooding on the Tobol river in Russia has reached and flooded a uranium mine, and may be creating/spreading radioactive mud now.

The Russian's just lost a Tu-22M to wither friendly fire or UA fire; either way, that's another strategic bomber they cannot replace.

A prominent CCP Russian-studies prof from Peking University laying out why he thinks Russia cannot win this war, and will not keep any territory in the long run, nor will it end with a Korean DMZ style situation.

Video from inside the Russia unit that blew Kakhovka Dam, showing the destruction just after the blast.

Notice how some posters love to try to create off-topic arguments in this thread, usually about sematics or such, and try to divert attention away from what Russia is doing to Ukraine. Some of the same folks also talk big about 'fighting degeneracy', yet support the nation with one of the...

For those who think it is just the Russian leadership that are enemies of the west.
