I doubt there’s only 15k casualties on the Russian side of war. I could believe 15k deaths, I’d peg the casualties at 50-80k easily. If there’s so few casualties of the initial invading force it makes absolutely no sense for putin to start

We can ignore any claims from Ukraine itself if you want because a independent report by the UN says the same thing. https://www.ohchr.org/en/statements/2022/09/update-chair-ind... ill quote it for you.

Apple 100% does need TSMC at this point and there is leverage both ways. I suspect if Apple really wanted to they would probably start to produce their products in two lines like Nvidia did, with cheaper phones produced on something like Sa

Considering Apple funds a lot of TSMC's R&D I dare say they have a lot of leverage if they really wanna push it.

It appears that both pipelines have two independent pipes for some unknown reason only a single pipe on the uncertified NS2 remains intact.

Why did these groups miss a pipe on Nord Stream 2 that remains undamaged, and can be used by Russia to try and force certification of NS2 if things get bad?.

Russia hasn’t had all of its assets seized. Additionally it may not even be about asset seizure, but about not wanting to look like a unreliable business partner. But even as I say that the actions of Russia lately make them seem unreliable

The only one who caused Ukraine to be dragged into a war is Russia. If you want to say fuck anyone say “fuck Russia” to the Russian soldiers currently committing countless war crimes against women and children in Ukraine.
