Many American internet giants have been dinosaurs, unable to compete and innovate. I am waiting for the US claimed Shein and Temu pose national security threats to the US.

If people thought that TikTok is getting banned because it threatened Facebook, wait till they hear about Temu

Temo is touching so many mega-corporations' business and special political classes that it may actually get banned before TikTok lol

Has the price cap began? Because if it has, then Russia selling its gas to the EU and charging it the price cap, then they are fools

TheDuran latest video mentioned that apparently the decree is due to be signed between Tuesday/Thursday next week if I remember. The Russians did say like a week ago that it got delayed. I guess we will find out by next week anyway.

If Russia wanted Europe to freeze they would have stopped gas exports. The only reason Europe can even have this respite is because the Russians kept pumping gas all this time and in fact they are still selling it right now.

Next year is going to be a lot worse, since there will be little Russian gas transit if current trends continue.
The same was said for this winter too. Europe was going to freeze and starve according to some people. Europe's dependence on Russian commodities is like China's dependence on Taiwanese chips. It doesn't exist. Russian commodities were nice to have but we can function just fine without them. A bit of economic slowdown

The real dangerous effect Russian actions triggered is the West's kneejerk reaction. Isolationist, militarist and racist arguments gained a lot of traction which is, in long term, way worse than any Russian commodity embargo can be. Especially racism towards ethnic Russians is non-excusable.

That's the narrative with every Western country. Buffer its work force and demographics with large swathes of immigrants. But make no effort to integrate them, and instead cynically drum up hate against them to score cheap political points among xenophobes as well as to preserve the racial status quo. Eventually for America, UK, France, etc. scenes like this will be a daily occurence until it spirals out of control.

The better question is, what are the target countries going to do about it? Putin's move was almost certainly the wrong one, and demonstrated an acute misunderstanding of facts on the ground, where he presumed that Ukraine could be taken / decapitated in two weeks, yet the war has now been going on for a year, with no signs of stopping. If the ultimate result is Russian defeat, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Russia would be at the mercy of NATO and that the blame would mostly be its own for not being able to correctly play the game.
I doubt there is misunderstanding rather it is practically demonstration what engineering products need to be discarded. the longer the better. similar thing happened in Mideast years ago when Putin had so much interest in talking to Israelis as he firmly believe they are innovative people. No Soviet or Russian leader has done it.
see this short answer from pilot about Su-57 no need to praise any other aircraft. when Putin used to meet directly met with Aeroflot CEO 1 in 1 routinely. so they got Panasonic inflight system across Aeroflot. reliability is primary important in aviation.
Aviation will be the foundation for use of Russian semiconductors once they start into thousand of Civil aviation products.

Mikhail Stefanov: All modern. The newest is the Su-57, on which we are also now carrying out tasks to protect our interests. The plane shows itself worthy. I hope that he will contribute to our victory.

its very difficult to develop presidential level of self protection in white car. it lose luster and become pale in sun. so you see most those protected vehicle in darker colors. this what this is different and need to physically displayed to President of Turkmenistan back in 2019. offcourse when you close to them you instantly recognize reliable engineering. so better gift a Lexus version of LC to a student and not overburden it with maintenance heavy vehicle that lose value. the point i am making is that these people are not dumb they look at all aspects of things that outside public not easy discern.

This faulty analysis. The more Europe consume commodities from Non-Russian sources like North Africa/Mideast/CIS/US. the more these countries standard of living for consumption will go up. Europe was lucky as Putin was spending money on R&D rather giving everything for consumption. Much less will be left for Europa consumption in manufactured products. who do you think Asia will prefer to sell its manufactured goods when given choice between Europa and Non Europa? this can show up in every thing from airline tickets to medicines. with lower standard of living. Europe will lose its attractiveness to attract best and brightest and potentially selloff of foreign investment. it is downfall for Europe.
