Real smart chip manufacturers. Off load your production capacity to Taiwan while China has always maintained that Taiwan is part of China. That wouldn't EVER lead to a bottleneck in chip availability because China is a good guy on the world stage. Just ask the Uighurs.
ReplyDeleteThen there's all of the European countries that MADE THEMSELVES DEPENDENT on Russia for their Nat. Gas and oil needs. They actually thought that Russia would be a good neighbor and trusted supplier because Europe is DEPENDENT on them.
They learned NOTHING from the two world wars last century when we had to rescue them from speaking German for eternity. TWICE. Now they'll be saying "Thank You Sir may I have another" as they are bent over and ... well you know the rest by Russia.
How you gonna like freezing in the dark, Europe, you smug bunch of dumbasses when Russia turns your gas off. Oh, they wouldn't do that? Yah, just like they wouldn't invade Ukraine or Georgia because they're sovereign countries.

Exactly.
My brother lives in Hong Kong. Tells me he was embarrassed in front of his European expat friends, because Orange Man Bad (litany follows).
