Russian invasion of Ukraine

[grunge]

Imagine the uproar when you can’t bet your shiny new iPhone that’s exactly the same as the others for the past 5 years!

That’s one view. But don’t underestimate it. COVID’s 3 months lockdown at the start of the pandemic is still being felt now. You can’t just go buy a new car from a garage without a wait due to chip shortages.

Basically Anything with a Processor in it will have issues. Etc.

Because Russia are stupid enough to start using tactical nukes

Really?

They were humiliated in the battle for Kyiv: no nukes.

They were humiliated in the loss of their flagship: no nukes.

They were humiliated in the battle for Kherson: no nukes.

They were humiliated in the battle for Kharkiv: no nukes.

Seems to me they're definitely not using nukes when they lose battles.

It needs USA and China to mend bridges tainted by Mr Trump blaming China for spying via Huawei infrastructure etc whilst cosying up to Russia.

Sadly the Chinese ARE putting things in their microelectronics that do aid spying and surveillance. For example:

Supermicro spy chips, the sequel: It really, really happened, and with bad BIOS and more, insists Bloomberg

Taking Crimea back is going to be a big ask because of Sevastopol.
