⚡️🇮🇹 Italian minister Francesco Lollobrigid, has warned that Italy’s low birth rate and an increase in irregular immigration could lead to “ethnic replacement,” sparking anger from the country’s opposition.

“The way is to build a welfare system that allows you to work and have a family, supporting young couples to find employment,” he said. “Italians are having fewer children, so we’re replacing them with someone else. Yes to helping births, no to ethnic replacement. That’s not the way forward,” he said.

These are larger chips, many countries can make them. Only Netherlands have the technology to make the less than 10 nanometre chips which drive the most advanced technologies

You keep bringing up non-issues just to make yourself appear important. If I asked you what a chip is or how it works, you won't be able to explain.

Have you ever heard of Moore's law? Maybe you should read up on that to understand why chips keep getting smaller. If you understand how chips work, Moore's
law will explain to you the difference between commercial and military grade chips.

Only commercial chips need to be small. That's because it allows our gadgets to be smaller and more powerful.

Military chips don't need to be small since weapons are not small and do not need to be small.

Instead, military chips need to be efficient. That's why countries like Russia and China and even the US will rather optimise the older and larger chips for military purposes than attempt manufacturing smaller ones.

Many US ships including their latest aircraft carriers launched about five years ago, use Windows XP. When was Windows XP released? 2001. And yet they use it in a "modern" ship. Why didn't they use Windows 11? Or 10? Or 8?

And what chips do you think Windows XP runs on? Today's chips? Or the ones manufactured in 2001?

Forget the noise western media is making about Russia buying chips. No country in the world will be dumb enough to use a microchip manufactured by a friendly nation in its own weapon, not to talk of one manufactured by a rival.

Russia will never buy or use a western microchip in a Russian weapons. Neither will China use western chips in its weapons.

China is only manufacturing smaller chips because it needs them for commercial products.

The US knows this too, but they keep making issues out of it and making noise about security and weapons so that people will support their moves to block China from manufacturing the latest consumers devices.

The size of a chip means nothing when we're talking military. Netherlands, as others have mentioned, is a small player. A cockroach in the midst of bulls, if I may say.

⚡️ European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said she doesn’t foresee the 🇺🇸 US defaulting on its debt, saying such an outcome would have dire consequences around the world.

“I have huge confidence in the 🇺🇸 United States,” Lagarde said in an interview for CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “I just cannot believe that they would let such a major, major, disaster happen.”

“If it did happen, it would have very, very negative impact not just for this country, where confidence would be challenged, but around the world,” Lagarde added.


They have to default, the dollar must die. grin

Nobody is arguing nothing with you. You are just talking off-tangent. I am only responding to those asking why Netherlands is important to the big players and China are interested in them, and you have just confirmed that China needs them to stay competitive in the tech industry. That makes Netherlands an important country and they are the only ones with the technology. I don't know why you Putin fanboys must get your backs up at everything. At least now you know why China is interested in Netherlands. If someone is not important, why is China complaining? Because they don't have it, simples.

This is the original post I responded to. At least some people will understand the context of why they are rushing Netherlands, while you continue your unnecessary grandstanding
