Super startup Northvolt, the West's last hope for "Showing the Chinese How to Make Batteries", succumbed to bankruptcy.

The documents say that as of Thursday morning, the company has $ 30 million in accounts and in cash, which, literally, "will not be enough for operational activities for the next week." And yes, they invested 15 billion dollars there. Among investors: Volkswagen, Goldman Sachs and BlackRock, plus government subsidies from Germany and Canada.

They screwed up everything - overestimated their abilities and potential, believed the unrealistic promises "we are about to develop technologies and tear everyone up" (see "fake it until you make it" ), the management was slow and rigid, and the graft, apparently was off the charts.

They had so many hopes. "Yes, the Swedes! Let them crush the Chinese! Yes, Swedes are the real technological giant! Yes, investments! Yes, Scandinavian quality! Yes, the Chinese are doomed!"
Yeah, that's right...

The question "What happened to the Elon Musk's fairy-tale factory, which was positioned to produce 40% of the world's batteries?" has not been asked for a while. Now the time has come to say good-bye to the 'Nordic volt" as well.

FROM RUSSIAN SOCIAL MEDIA:
(Ukrainian is the third most spoken language in Ukraine.)

Zelensky signed a law excluding the Russian language from the protection of the European Charter

The overdue one signed Law No. 4699-IX, which updates the Ukrainian list of languages covered by the European Charter of Regional or Minority Languages.

The Russian language is excluded from this list. At the same time, the Charter remains valid for a number of other languages, including Belarusian, Bulgarian, Gagauz, Crimean Tatar, Polish, Romanian, Hungarian, Czech, Yiddish, Romansh, Urum, Rumei, Karaite and Krymchak.

The map shows statistics on the use of the native language in everyday life in Ukraine in 2009.

The path to Europe looks exactly like this: infringing on the rights of millions of its own citizens in order to curry favor with the owners. Real European values!

Col. Macgregor: ‘WAR to the LAST MISSILE’ – Trump Under DURESS to Escalate

President Trump has arrived in Ankara for this week’s NATO summit, and while he tries to project strength, the U.S. can’t hide from its growing weaknesses on the world stage.

Ret. U.S. Army Col. Douglas Macgregor noted that in both Iran and the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine: “We are in a war to the last missile.” He also emphasized that “we’ve strengthened Iran,” and there are growing concerns the U.S. will escalate to war, because he fears “Trump is under some form of duress.”

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!
