Thursday evening open thread

 This is very, very interesting and I have seen any of the main stream media covering this (not that I watch a lot of main stream media). Peter Zeihan, whose youtube channel I've been following brought this up about the U.S. putting a spoke in China's semiconductor industry. There are two videos a day apart that cover slightly different aspects of what's happening. He seems to know his stuff, from what I've seen of his videos.
