@Vitaliy_Kiselev Maybe you have a micron feature size process from the 80's still in operation and could move the design to that? At worst they could implement it on discrete boards, with TTL logic... I know I'm poking your eye, it's not my actual intention to be mean, I just can't help myself from making fun before the world goes up in smoke.

I feel like this hasn't been thought through to all its possible ramifications and consequences. Why couldn't your master just prop up the breakaway republics in the Donbas, it would've achieved the political objective. Now you'll be dependent on the Chinese, and it won't be a relationship between equals. Maybe they could manufacture your chips, they have at least the 28nm process node..

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), an Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer, has stopped deliveries of its products to Russia, the Central Taiwan News Agency (CNA) reports.

"TSMC has completely stopped deliveries to Russia and its suppliers, having carefully studied the sanctions to ensure their full compliance," the agency reports, citing sources.

The agency, citing a source, also reports that TSMC has stopped production of Elbrus brand semiconductors developed in Russia.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev I'm not disputing history, I am aware how they operate. Just because my country is now in NATO doesn't make me blind, or your country an enemy. I'm just saying your guy overreached. Russia didn't have the supply chain to pull this off. Semiconductors are just one facet (a very important one), there will be other unforeseen consequences. edit: re-reading your comment, you speak of an inside job, not just how the West plays its cards. That I'm not privy to, and won't comment on.

Second, we will paralyse the assets of Russia’s central bank.

This will freeze its transactions.

And it will make it impossible for the Central Bank to liquidate its assets.

Most fun here is that ALL our leading economists told that this can't happen and we can't be like Libya.

Turns out they are idiots.

@G3550D

why otherwise sane people could support egotistical, supposedly 'God-fearing', bullies like Putin and Trump. I too also watched part of that open council. I now await the "Downfall" style parodies.

Just stop all this kindergarten level nonsence about Putin and Trump.

War is the continuation of policy. Consequently, we must examine the policy pursued prior to the war, the policy that led to and brought about the war. If it was an imperialist policy, i.e., one designed to safeguard the interests of finance capital and rob and oppress colonies and foreign countries, then the war stemming from that policy is imperialist. If it was a national liberation policy, i.e., one expressive of the mass movement against national oppression, then the war stemming from that policy is a war of national liberation.

The philistine does not realize that war is “the continuation of policy”, and consequently limits himself to the formula that “the enemy has attacked us”, “the enemy has invaded my country”, without stopping to think what issues are at stake in the war, which classes are waging it, and with what political objects.

For the philistine the important thing is where the armies stand, who is winning at the moment. For the Marxist the important thing is what issues are at stake in this war, during which first one, then the other army may be on top.

@G3550D

Tell me straight Vitaly, do you think young Russian men are being sent to die in a good cause?

Spend two minutes and read the quote and think.

Any war is bad. And any war is not happening because some individual actor wants it to happen.

Since 5:00 explanation that original idea had been rocket strike on Belarussia, but it didn't work out.

They are very upset now:

Attack in adult field:

OnlyFans: models with Russian and Belarusian passports have inactive accounts, you can't be followed, and subscribers are unsubscribed from you even with a rebill. You can try to withdraw on a Tinka visa card, other methods are not available.

Streamate: Payouts are suspended. You can withdraw to MassPay (probably).

LoyalFans: suspend payments if necessary.

Fansly: output to Pilot.

Paxum: EFT does not work, withdrawals to bank cards under sanctions do not work (accounts are blocked), someone can withdraw to tea.

Working: crypto (note that many exchanges do not work with users from Russia and Belarus), spankpay, pilot. Perhaps they work: MassPay, epay.com (I don’t even know where it is, but).

War drums also mean miserable life for people

Germany will channel 100 billion euros ($113 billion) this year into a fund to modernize the military, Scholz said Sunday in a speech to a special session of the lower house of parliament," Bloomberg writes of the Sunday announcement. "By 2024, the government will spend at least 2% of gross domestic product each year on defense, he added, in line with a NATO target that Berlin has consistently failed to meet."

The US Treasury has banned American individuals and legal entities from transactions with the Bank of Russia, the NWF and the Russian Treasury.

Switzerland joins all EU sanctions decisions against Russia - Swiss President
