Odessa is the main location of Ukraine’s NEON production. Once Russia captures Odessa they will control 70% of the world’s NEON production with China controlling almost all the rest. In case you don’t know, NEON is required for the production of microchips. In a few days it looks like the Russians and Chinese will control almost all of the world’s NEON production. That is very bad news for us. If you think the microchip shortage is bad now, just wait until the Russians and Chinese decide to hoard NEON for their own production requirements. Modern technology in the western world will grind to a halt.
Good point—my prediction is that once Russia conquers Odessa they will want peace.
It will be “mission accomplished”.
