Armenian, U.S. Forces To Hold Joint Drills Amid Nagorno-Karabakh Tensions

nine-day exercise would involve "stabilization operations between conflicting parties during peacekeeping tasks."
The drills, being held in Yerevan, are the first of their kind.
They come amid an escalating crisis as Yerevan and local authorities accuse Azerbaijan of blockading Nagorno-Karabakh,
resulting in severe shortages of food, fuel, and basic products.
Baku has denied the accusations.
Yerevan has accused Russian peacekeepers in the region of failing to do their jobs.

Armenia says it will stage joint military exercise with US next week

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in a weekend interview with an Italian newspaper
that Russia had failed to protect Armenia against what he called continuing aggression from Azerbaijan.
He suggested that Russia's war in Ukraine meant it was unable to meet all Armenia's security needs.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday he disagreed with Pashinyan's remarks.
"Russia is an absolutely integral part of this region," he said.
"Russia plays a consistent, very important role in stabilising the situation in this region ... and we will continue to play this role."

But in reality, it was only a transitional period to the new world economy that is taking shape before our eyes now.”

In the first half of 2023, Germany increased the purchase of fertilizers from Russia to a record $151 million.
This is 3.3 times higher than the average level over the previous five years.

Fertilizer and other chemical plants continue to close down in Europe.

Traitor pilot Maxim Kuzminov is already giving out interviews to the Ukrainian press with might and main. According to the defector, the escape was being prepared for about six months , it was supervised by Ukrainian intelligence officers.

Not only handed over a not very useful helicopter to the enemy, but killed his own crew , who were in the dark until the last moment and resisted the betrayal.

Kuzminov in a dubious tone alleged that his ex colleagues where last seen running towards the border and where now probably "eliminated".

The whole truth, if he actually murdered them himself on flight, or simply abandoned them in enemy territory without weapons, we will probably never know.

It is no secret that we are preparing a serious offensive operation.

[Military Summary]Yuriy Podolyaka , journalist:

Without the development of success, a breakthrough of the front does not make sense.
That is why the enemy is trying to break through the front, retaining most of the reserves,
in order to bring down the front after the breakthrough. That's how they intended it.
Now the best units are thrown into the unbroken front, equipped with the equipment
that was supposed to be used to develop success.

Moreover, the Challengers were supposed to be used to destroy enemy tanks at long distances.
Now they are used as fire support tanks. Like the same our Soviet T-72, T-64.
But they clearly do not have enough Soviet tanks, which are generally suitable for such a task.
By the way, it was the British tanks that they cherished to the last.

Syrsky noted the tense situation in three directions.

Indeed, they have big problems in the Kupyansky direction, in the Svatovsky and Flint ones,
and no one is making a big secret of the fact that we are preparing a serious offensive operation.
I don't know the exact location, of course.
But to hide large movements of equipment in a place where the enemy has a huge number of spies (NATO's space intelligence works well)
- is simply unrealistic.
Hence their fears.
Indeed, we are preparing to strike them.

We can strike in other directions as well.
Now there is a counter battle in the Artyomovsk direction.
The enemy, having introduced new brigades into battle, tried to drive us out of Kleshcheevka.
Yesterday there was an oncoming battle. According to my information, our troops were able to repulse enemy attacks, even to push him in places.
The fierceness of the fighting is outrageous. Huge enemy forces have been abandoned.
Seven brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are working. But they don't get results.

Direction between Vuhledar and Velyka Novosyolka:
yesterday, the Armed Forces of Ukraine also went on the attack and, without achieving results,
suffered significant losses, several tanks, up to 10 light vehicles.
But most importantly, they, having shown the direction, lost momentum. We were able to localize the problem.
And now this direction is not so dangerous for us.

Chip Wars

China is 2 generations behind the new Apple processor. It is a question if Apple processor works and if they can produce enough of them. If China can sustain this level of production and quality of processors, it is not a problem. There are no big difference in everyday use except in highly specific tasks. The 3nm market is being driven by high-performance compute and AI, and that means huge dies, and lots of them, in racks in data centers, burning lots of power. There is not a lot of advantage in performance between 7 nm and 3nm. A circuit is not going to scale as well, and it costs a lot of money. Moore’s Law said that it may prove to be more economical to build large systems out of smaller functions, which are separately packaged and interconnected. The availability of large functions combined with functional design and construction should allow the manufacturer of large systems designs to construct a considerable variety of equipment both rapidly and economically.
