So you want us to go to war, the two biggest nuclear powers, over a semiconductor chip shortage?
Should we include China and Iran as well?
Industrial neon is worth nothing if Russia can’t sell it.
Maybe we should work to end the war instead of perpetuating it
with more money and weaponry.
And maybe we should bring manufacturing back to the US.
It is not a question of us going to war over a microchip shortage (although I think
You are very cavalier in dismissing the tremendous impact such a shortage would have on prices and everyday life, not to mention National Security). It is a question of making sure a sovereign country can defend itself against an unprovoked attack by a superpower. An attack that not only threatens that small sovereign country but the worlds technological supply chain.
PS do you really think Russia cares about making a profit from Industrial NEON more that the power it would give them to control who could manufacture microchips ?
