Ricketts, Kim to Introduce MATCH Act; Level the Global Playing Field for U.S. Tech
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Pete Ricketts (R-NE) and Andy Kim (D-NJ) announced that they will introduce the Multilateral Alignment of Technology Controls on Hardware (MATCH) Act. This bipartisan legislation modernizes U.S. export controls to ensure adversaries cannot buy “chokepoint” semiconductor manufacturing equipment (SME) technology from the United States or our partners that they cannot build themselves. Senators Jim Risch (R-ID) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) co-sponsored this legislation. House companion legislation is led by Rep. Michael Baumgartner (R-WA-5).
Finnish conscripts train for all-out war with Russia
Finnish preparedness and deterrence against Russian aggression - whether in the form of hybrid attacks, or full-scale invasion, is long-established state practice. Conscripts are trained to be expert snipers; ready for all eventualities at the country's 1,350 km frontier with Russia.
I mean the US is in it's own century of humiliation so it would make sense that they would act like late Qing.How do you exactly enforce something like this???
This is late Qing level of arrogance and stupidity.
I mean wouldn't training for an all out war with a country that has no interest whatsoever to go to war with you be seen as aggressive from the Russian pov. What's with their problem with Russia lmao.

Palace intrigue over in the US reaching late Ming levels.“[Hegseth] has got a big conflict with Driscoll. And he’s been told by the White House he can’t fire Driscoll, at least for the moment,” a source close to the Trump administration said.
“[Hegseth] is very concerned about being fired and he knows that Driscoll is one of the top contenders, or a natural contender, to succeed him. So what Pete has been doing is taking anyone he perceives to be close with Driscoll and going after them. And this is the latest and most spectacular [example] of that.”
Driscoll is a close friend of Vice President JD Vance, with whom he attended Yale Law School after both men served in the Iraq War. His name was floated as a possible Hegseth successor last summer and the Pentagon boss’s suspicions deepened last fall when Driscoll served as a Ukraine war negotiator.
China: We should develop to alleviate organ donor shortages and save more lives!
USA:
Why not just declare everyone who fell below the K-Line (斩杀线) as legally dead so that you can have an endless supply of organs? You guys are very much on the way to becoming N4z1 Reich 2.0 anyway.
