Is it fair to compare Biden vs Trump as the vote between war with Russia vs. war with China? (i.e. each candidate representing a different faction of hawks)
The only one that is saying this is you
The term was invented by defense experts John Arquilla and David Ronfeldt in a 1999 RAND Corporation study and often appears in connection with that of smart power.
You can't make this up (although apparently you can)
Take notes: Bullying libs works
No one disputes that TSMIC is the leading sc foundry. Its the reason why the US is interested in Taiwan after all.
SMIC is able to produce 7nm despite the US applied pressure on ASML a few years ahead of predictions
Uh oh someone sounds upset
Thank you for your valuable comment
You just want me to say more so you can pick it apart, fight, and troll.
If you know what you're saying is pulled out of... thin air, then of course the fear of it getting picked apart is understandably there. You know in advance that you will basically have to go into an argument ("fight") and then, because the fighting aka not writing the check for your claims is making it obvious to everyone else that you indeed pull stuff out of thin air, you get trolled as a consequence.
The very comment I'm replying to is a good example:
You made a vague comment ("You're living in a fantasy world") and got asked for clarification. You get defensive without providing clarification, and justify it by accusing the enquirer of bad faith. You dont even use some personal anecdotal evidence, but with another vague accusation. The fact that you're not amusing yourself to actually give a good faith answer, but make such baseless accustion you end up communicating bad faith on your part.
I find it really hard to not troll you now
I'm ready to get dunked on but here we go

I'm engaging in speculative trading (meaning: buying and holding stocks for 3-5 years) and betting on the rise of a multipolar world. In practice this mean for me: I pick a stock in the Chinese market that I think will eventually outperform a western company (e.g. EV, semiconductor, fusion, renewables, etc. - actually I picked a company that's on the US blacklist) and buy an amount where I'm ready to lose the money (I'm aware of the privilege) and just hold it. I follow the news mega so I get a good dose of financial press to keep up.
