  1. I wonder if anyone has an answer for my question, which was prompted by Peter’s opening remarks about America’s trade relationship with China? If America has such trading power over China, then WHY are they allowing all those countless IBM Microprocessors to go to China, only to be sold, en masse, to Russia, who continues to manufacture guided missiles with them and is bombing the hell out of our allies!? I’m speaking primarily about Ukraine, obviously, but there are other allies, or those who simply resist Russian hegemony in places like Syria, or in countries all over Africa. China is Russia’s main source of microprocessors, and American IBM’s are China’s main source of top level microchips. Why are we (NATO, et al) not sanctioning these funnel companies, or threatening to withhold all microchips? Russia would be totally reliant on Iranian drones if it wasn’t for the fact that they keep restocking on microchips! And it would only take a little disruption to the Iranian life line, for say a month or so, for Ukraine to experience relief from constant terror attacks and to gain a significant advantage on their Eastern Front IF Russia had no access to American made microprocessors from China! Is it just the MONEY?
