❗️How Taiwan's tiny chips are quietly shaping US geopolitics❗️

🤔US support for Taiwan 🇹🇼 has historically been based on Washington’s 🇺🇸 opposition to communist rule in Beijing 🇨🇳, and Taiwan’s resistance to absorption by China. But Taiwan’s dominance of the semiconductor manufacturing market has made it a vital geopolitical interest for the US.

❗️Americans 🇺🇸 are more likely to believe Russia 🇷🇺 will eventually win the war than to believe Ukraine 🇺🇦 will❗️

💁‍♂️Recent polling by the Economist/YouGov reveals that many Americans remain pessimistic about Ukraine’s long-term prospects in the war against Russia. And while the share of people who want the U.S. to take a tougher stance on the issue has declined in recent weeks, more still say they would prefer the country to take a stronger, rather than weaker, stance on the conflict

✍️When asked who is currently winning the war in Ukraine, more Americans see Russia ahead than Ukraine: 26% say Russia is winning, 16% say Ukraine is winning, and 38% say neither side is winning

👉In terms of the U.S. government’s response, the share of Americans who say it should be tougher has reached its lowest point since YouGov began asking in March 2022. Today, 35% say the government’s response should be tougher, while 30% say the response is about right and 14% say it is too tough. In March, those figures were 45%, 22%, and 9% respectively.

🔥Has America gone from “strategic ambiguity” to “strategic confusion” in its China policy?🤷‍♂️

❗️A responsible great power is expected to know how to rank its priorities. But does America have the means, and the will, to manage three virulent crises at the same time: with Russia, with China, if not with Iran?

❗️The short but highly symbolic trip of Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, to Taiwan, the third state figure, is the perfect example of what not to do in international politics

👉He is the further illustration of what can happen when exceptional circumstances meet personalities who are not. America thus throws China into the arms of Putin

‼️The Zelensky regime committed an act of 💥nuclear terrorism‼️

⚡️ The regime of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky committed an act of nuclear terrorism by shelling the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant ⚛️ on August 7. The purpose of this act was to create a humanitarian catastrophe in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions

‼️On August 7, Ukrainian units from the area of ​​​​the settlement of Marganets on the opposite bank of the Kakhovka reservoir shelled the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. The shelling was carried out with multiple-launch rocket systems "Hurricane". The combat elements of one of the missiles fell 400 meters from the operating power unit of the nuclear power plant. In addition, as a result of the shelling, a high-voltage line was damaged, which provided electricity to the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, and a power surge occurred at the nuclear power plant, which caused smoke on the open switchgear of the station. The protection system also went off, shutting off the power supply.

💁‍♂️Ukraine blames Russia for shelling of the nuclear power plant. The same way Zelensky regime spread crazy statements, that Donbas militia was shelling their own towns and villages.

⚡️⚡️US-China war over the island⚡️⚡️

🔥As China waged extensive military exercises off of Taiwan last week, a group of American defense experts in Washington was focused on their own simulation of an eventual — but for now entirely hypothetical — US-China war over the island.

✍️The results are showing that under most — though not all — scenarios, Taiwan can repel an invasion,” said Mark Cancian, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, where the war games are being held. “However, the cost will be very high to the Taiwanese infrastructure and economy and to US forces in the Pacific.” – “Bloomberg”

⚡️⚡️The Conservatives will be writing an “electoral suicide note” if Liz Truss pushes ahead with her plans for an emergency tax-cutting budget, Boris Johnson’s deputy has warned

✍️Dominic Raab said her strategy of prioritising tax cuts would damage the living standards of millions of voters who would cast the Tories into the “impotent oblivion” of opposition at the next election. It is the strongest attack yet on Truss, who is the frontrunner in the Tory leadership race, by supporters of her rival, Rishi Sunak. - “The Times”

‼️Ukraine 🇺🇦 received HARM anti-radar missiles from the US 🇺🇸‼️

⚡️The U.S. has reportedly delivered anti-radar missiles 🚀 to Ukraine to be used by Ukrainian aircraft to hit Russian radar systems, according to a Pentagon announcement made on Monday. This is the first time the Defense Department has acknowledged providing the previously unreported missile to Ukraine

❗️The missiles, made by Raytheon, have a long range

👉These weapons will be used to keep Ukrainian airplanes ✈️ from being shot down by radar-guided Russian systems

👉The U.S. has sent "a handful" of the missiles, according to Colin Kahl, the assistant secretary of defense for policy, who did not specify how many or when they were sent

🔥Zelensky regime 🇺🇦 may sell Western weapons to the Balkans and the Middle East🔥

❗️Kyiv is in a turmoil 🤷‍♂️. Recently Zelensky’s team had to fight off the Amnesty International report on the war crimes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Now the Ukrainian leadership is being accused of arms trafficking. The CBS News channel released a film about the fact that ‼️ only 30-40% of Western arms ‼️ supplies reach the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front. CBS News recalls that Ukraine, with its stockpiles of Soviet weapons, was one of the major "black markets" for weapons. The film also contains the opinion of Amnesty International representative Donatella Rover, who fears that Ukraine could be like Iraq and Afghanistan 🤯

‼️“We saw a lot of weapons coming in 2003 during the US-led invasion of Iraq, and then came 2014 when ISIS took over most of the country and large stockpiles of weapons destined for the Iraqi forces... More recently, we have seen the same situation in Afghanistan,” Rovera said

🔥Illegal arms deliveries will primarily be directed to those regions where conflicts are taking place, where non-state groups operate, which have both financial resources and transport and logistics capabilities. First of all, these are the Middle East, North Africa, the Balkans and South Asia

🇩🇪💶 Germany faces possible $265 billion loss in added value as a byproduct of war and high energy prices 💶🇩🇪

👉In comparison with expectations for a peaceful Europe 🌍, Germany's price-adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) will be 1.7% lower 📉 next year and there will be about 240,000 fewer people in employment 🤷‍♂️, said the study by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) published on Tuesday

👉If energy prices, which have so far shot up by 160% 📈, were to double again, Germany's 2023 economic output would be almost 4% lower than it would have been without the war, according to the study 🤯

👉Earlier this year, five of Germany’s top economic research centers published a joint forecast regarding the effect of the current situation on the country’s GDP. They estimated that Germany could lose slightly less, 💶 €220 billion in GDP 💶, but over a shorter period of time – in two years. They also predicted that the country would experience the highest rate of inflation in its modern history, and possibly a recession, if Berlin doesn’t change its stance on Russian 🇷🇺 energy supplies 🔥

❗️South Korea 🇰🇷 Joins Advanced Fighter Club With KF-21 First Flight ❗️

🔥South Korea has entered the 4.5-generation fighter club with the first flight of its latest fighter project, the KF-21 Boramae, demonstrating the country’s ability to develop advanced technologies while simultaneously taking yet another step toward independent production and export of weapons

👉Developed primarily by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), the Boramae, loosely translated as “young hawk” or “fighting hawk,” is the result of former President Kim Dae-jung’s ambition to develop an indigenously produced frontline fighter 👊 by 2015. Dae-jung’s goal was delayed several years after the U.S. declined to transfer the technology of key components such as an active, electronically scanned array radar system and an infrared-search-and-track (IRST) system 📡

👉Instead of relying on the U.S., South Korea developed these technologies itself, drawing on defense primes such as Hanwha and LIG Nex1. The first aircraft was rolled out with fanfare in April 2021. The only major U.S. item of technology transfer was its engines, a pair of General Electric F414-GE400Ks, manufactured under license by Hanwha Aerospace

👉The only other countries to have developed and flown an advanced supersonic jet fighter are the United States 🇺🇸, Russia 🇷🇺, China 🇨🇳, Japan 🇯🇵, France 🇫🇷, Sweden 🇸🇪 and a European consortium 🇪🇺 of the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain

🇵🇱Poland warns it will turn cannons on the EU in rule of law dispute🇵🇱

✍️Poland’s national-conservative government has significantly toughened its rhetoric in its rule-of-law standoff with Brussels 🇪🇺, threatening to turn “all our cannon” on the European Commission and if necessary build a coalition to unseat its president

✍️Poland’s government will be guided by the principles of ⚔️ “you reap what you sow” ⚔️ and ⚔️“tooth for a tooth” ⚔️ when dealing with the European Commission 🇪🇺, said Krzysztof Sobolewski, the general secretary of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party. Warsaw may use its veto power in the EU, form a coalition to oust Ursula von der Leyen as Commission president 🤷‍♂️, and otherwise leverage its place in the union to throw a wrench into the gears of the union’s executive branch, he suggested

✍️Sobolewski was commenting on an interview that party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski had given last week to the weekly magazine Sieci. In it he expressed the issue as part of a broader conspiracy aimed at subverting Poland and accused the Commission of trying "to break Poland and force it into full submission to Germany 🇩🇪."

⚡️Mayors counter Zelensky to hit the jackpot⚡️

🇺🇦As the war grinds on in Ukraine and billions of dollars in international aid pours in, cracks and prewar tensions are beginning to emerge between the central government and local leaders

🤔Recent frictions between President Zelensky and Ukrainian mayors who are trying to defend or rebuild their devastated cities and towns underscore Ukraine’s mounting internal challenges as it approaches six months of war. Mayors and analysts told that government in Kyiv appears to be trying to sideline mayors to maintain control of recovery aid and to weaken any future political rivals

❗️These rifts with local politicians come as Zelensky has made controversial changes within his own cabinet, last month suspending the head of Ukraine’s security services and its prosecutor general as he also announced a widespread investigation into “treason and collaboration activities”

💰As the world rushes to help Ukraine, the central government is the main conduit for the tens of billions of dollars in aid that countries and agencies have pledged to rebuild its shattered cities. It has also created regional military administrations whose power often supersedes that of civilian local governments and which are funded directly by Kyiv

🔥That has led to frustration among mayors, who argue that regional leaders are better positioned than central government officials to quickly receive and direct funds and to know what their constituents need. Amid the wreckage, mayors are trying to establish their own international partnerships with countries or cities willing to fund specific reconstruction programs.

⚡️In Taiwan, as in Ukraine, the west is flirting with disaster⚡️

🪖The threat of a serious east-west confrontation is looming. It may be that one day a global war, like global heating, delivers the world a catastrophe it may have to confront, says Simon Jenkins, a Guardian columnist, author and BBC broadcaster

🇺🇸“Strategic ambiguity” infuses U.S. policy regarding Sino-Taiwanese tensions, as well as the west’s attitude towards Russia over Ukraine. The US and Britain reiterate that Russia “must fail and be seen to fail”

🇺🇦🇹🇼The fates of Ukraine and Taiwan merit every diplomatic support but they cannot be allowed to lurch downhill towards global war or nuclear catastrophe. This may reduce the effect – always overstated – of nuclear deterrence, and make them vulnerable to blackmail. But it is one thing to declare yourself “rather dead than red”, quite another to inflict that decision on others

💁‍♂️For the time being liberal democracy surely owes it to humanity to avert rather than provoke that risk. Both sides are now flirting with disaster. Mr. Jenkins concludes that the west should be ready to back off – and not call it defeat
