Without Western chips, Russia would not be able to produce key weapons. To prove that this line of supply continues despite bans from the U.S. and Europe, the Kyiv Independent tried ordering American microchips from Russian trading companies.
Investigation: We tried to buy American chips as a Russian defense manufacturer — and it worked
Despite bans put in place by the U.S. and Europe on the supply of electronic components to Russia, dozens of Russian microelectronics suppliers continue to obtain and resell imported chips to Russian ...

President Trump has for years exaggerated the size of US trade deficits with various other countries. Now, as Trump cites those trade deficits as a key justification for his tariff policies, newly released federal statistics show how wrong Trump’s numbers are. | Fact check

Exactly. By far the fastest way to end the war would have been to increase the support for Ukraine so Russia would stop attacking.
If the US had continued to support Ukraine, we may have been months away from the end of the war. The Russians would not have been able to continue to fight for much longer. They were making almost no progress, taking huge casualties.

TRUMPS TRUSSEL

Ja, Trump sagde i sin tale, at han vil respektere Grønlands ret til selv at bestemme dets fremtid…men så sagde han:

“I think we’re gonna get it. One way or the other.”

Han afleverede truslen med et smil. Vance grinte bag ham. Sykofanterne i Kongressen lo.

Uhyggeligt, faktisk.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Attention, Europe!

Russian propagandists:

"We'll hit them. No illusions. We'll strike. They think that now they will send European troops [to Ukraine] and we will say, 'Wow, the Europeans are coming...' No, we'll just wipe these cities off the map."
