Interesting write-up! I'm not touching the topics of antimatter or colliders with a ten foot pole, but any joint operations continuing has to be a good sign. I recall reading where Apple's move or attempted move to India was of lesser success than anticipated. Clueless if the move was in response to such sanctions or not, but it appears the nationwide exporting of every industry ever has resulted China becoming integral in nearly every aspect of modern american life and business. Thank you Mr. Sanchez.

Western analysts may be writing that illegal sanctions are generally counter-productive, but the problem is that the politicians do not listen to them, so here we go with umpteenth illegal sanction package against Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, etc.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome every time.

Regarding your last link to Martyanov’s latest blog post and the failure of the US to manufacture hypersonic missiles, that's DEI in action for you!

The neocons don't seem to care about expert analytical opinion. They're guided by the belief that the exercise of force is the first tool to use when encountering resistance.

Just like the sanctions on Russia. Cut them off and they become vigorously self reliant, innovating along the way.

The only dummies here are the Western politicians and their MSM henchmen.

There's a witty and fun sentence Martyanov quotes in one of his linked articles - it appears US gov bureaucracy is still good for something after all:

"Expert views are best used sparingly, as they can be prone to bias, unless estimators analyze and account for that bias."

Thanks!

FYI, most software is centralized (in apple and Google) and increasingly intrusive… add this to the mix now:

As the Electronic Frontier Foundation explains, the convention includes "documents saved on personal computers or notes stored on digital devices. In essence, this means that private unshared thoughts and information are no longer safe. Authorities can compel the preservation, production, or seizure of any electronic data, potentially turning personal devices into spy vectors regardless of whether the information has been communicated"

Is this why they finally had to let assange go?

I'd need to review the USSC decision on the issue of privacy, but written matter is covered as speech.

Now durov arrest in Paris… zakharova (rightly) calling out hypocrisy of the west … but, meanwhile, Russia remains the original sponsor of this un initiative to make the internet an even greater surveillance panopticon than it currently is… we are well through the looking glass now, Alice!
