America will soon place sanctions / export controls on China's largest semiconductor foundry Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation. At this point it's easy to predict that the US will rapidly choke and asphyxiate China's technology sector in every possible way, and SMIC is a critical current and future pillar of the sector.

All these components, equipment, materials, technologies and general self-reliance plus talent that Japan and South Korea are developing and cultivating, these will directly and indirectly also help China's technology sector to ride through the storm of US attacks. Engineers being trained and nurtured by Fujitsu, NEC, Samsung, etc., will be up for grabs by China, as will be the hardware and software created in these nations.

Despite America's no-holds-barred and crushing efforts to slow, halt and even reverse the growth and development of China's domestic semiconductor industry, over the next few years, Chinese chip sector will experience exponential innovation, maturity and self-reliance, ultimately coming back to haunt and hurt the US. There's no stopping the Dragon's rise now.

Russia will experience a relatively high rate of coronavirus COVID-19 infections in its population. There are no signs that strict measures are being implemented to control the pandemic. In fact, Russia seems to be very late and also inadequate in enforcing lockdowns. Will be clear in next two weeks.

As coronavirus COVID-19 wipes out the elderly in Europe, this will have a direct positive effect on feminism. Among the elderly victims are some of the most rich, powerful, elite men who not only have old-school habits and values that feminists refer to as patriarchal, but are also the ones heavily involved in flesh trade of young girls, like seen in the movie Taken. Elimination of these sexual predators is bound to reduce prevalent sexism and misogyny in European societies.

Facing immense losses from its 737 Max fiasco, Boeing will covertly encourage expansion of America's global wars, in an attempt to shore up its overall finances via increased military sales, thus killing countless more innocents.

An interesting link can be seen between the commercial performance of Boeing's passenger plane division, and the lives of innocent and otherwise-unrelated civilians in far-off countries. Any financial pressure on Boeing's civil aircraft division will be recovered by additional US wars and additional US bombing / killing, with the victims paying for Boeing's financial woes with their lives. Coronavirus can similarly be connected to USA's wars - this pandemic will put immense pressure on Boeing [and Airbus], and Boeing will "lobby" the Pentagon to expand the scale and scope of its global warfare, so that Boeing's weapons business gets a boost. More deaths than the virus will ever cause on its own.

Not unreasonable to think that America might itself ultimately kill Juan Guaido in order to create a pretext to strike Venezuela [COMPACTIDEA]

The "President Guaido" bomb is fast turning out as a dud - a year has already passed without significant dividends, despite crushing sanctions accompanying the political cover given to him. America has so far failed to remove the "Maduro former regime". How now to milk whatever equity Guaido still has left in his body and his brand, in case America decides that it needs to change its regime change strategy and dispose Guaido while not looking like a fool? US could deniably assassinate Guaido - a pretty, pretty easy task - and put the blame squarely on Maduro, in order to justify a crushing military attack on the Venezuelan government, perhaps one in which Maduro and his top officials 'accidentally' get killed?

Guaido should be careful. Strangely, Nicolas Maduro too.
