FOO IN THE ROOM!

DID NVIDIA’S JENSEN HUANG SHOOT HIMSELF IN THE FOOT WHEN HE SAID THAT CHINA SHOUD FOLLOW THE US TECHNICAL STANDARDS FOR SEMI-CONDUCTOR CHIP PRODUCTION? | DANGER: China BANS U.S. AI Chips, Global Investors Begin $1T USD Sell-Off, Work Visa DISASTER

Answer: Mmmm, maybe! The response by China was to ban Nvidia chips in Chinese electronic manufacturing forever and ever. In a “No way" Jose!” decision it had to be seen as expected as soon as Jensen said it. IT comes as no surprise that China which in my view has drawn level with US and foreign Taiwanese, Japanese and South Korean — chip manufacturers in the last eighteen months it is clear that he/she/it who sets the standards in chip manufacturing corners the patent payouts.

UK loans to Ukraine

UK has been giving "loans" to Ukraine for the last three years, all of them backed by the interest from the Russian frozen assets.

Finance minister Rachel Reeves wants to mirror the EU €170B reparations loan scheme, which hands out more loans to Ukraine using Russian assets with Euroclear. The UK holds £25 billion in Russian assets.

One major reason Europe wants to keep this war going is to avoid the shit storm that it faces when Russia legally comes for its money.

POLITICO: This £25 billion would fund the U.K. “reparations loan” scheme, which the country’s finance ministry said would “work in lockstep” with the EU program. It added that the proposals “under consideration” could “unlock financing up to the full value of the assets held in the U.K.”

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 !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
