Since the start of the full-scale war, the Russian army has been given as many as 15 deadlines for capturing our Donetsk region. Russia’s political leadership remains obsessed with Donbas. They have entertained this delusion – that they would fully capture Donbas – 15 times already.
In 2022, the deadlines were March 31, then May 9, June 1, September 15, and December 31. In 2023, Putin set two more deadlines for capturing Donbas: March 1, and then, when that failed again, they moved it to December 31. In 2024, there were again two such deadlines.
In 2025, when the Russians tried to convince President Trump that Ukraine would supposedly fall, there were already three final dates for capturing the Donetsk region, namely, September 1, December 1, and December 25.
Already this year, the Russians have again pushed back the date for the capture of the Donetsk region. At first, they had set a deadline of March 31 of this year, then September 1, and now the deadline is December 31.
If Russia does not end its war, they will have to move this deadline again as well. If Putin wants to sacrifice another million of his soldiers to keep smashing against this wall, then the million Russians who have not yet been mobilized into the Russian army and are arguing in gas lines should think about what awaits them next.
JUST IN: IBM just unveiled the smallest chip technology in history, and the real story is not the one in the headline. It is not that chips got smaller. It is that the 60-year trick of shrinking them flat has finally run into the size of the atom, and the entire industry is quietly changing direction because of it.
The number still stuns. Nearly 100 billion transistors on a sliver of silicon the size of a fingernail, at 0.7 nanometers, the first time anyone has crossed below a single nanometer. For scale, a red blood cell is about ten thousand times wider than one of these features. They are closing in on the width of individual atoms.
That limit is the point. For six decades, chips got faster the same way every time. Shrink the transistor, flatten it, line up more side by side. At a few atoms across, that path runs out, because nothing is flatter than one atom. So the answer, from IBM and from Samsung, Intel and TSMC all at once, is to stop spreading out and start stacking up, building transistors in three dimensions because the flat plane is full.
Worth saying plainly: this is a lab result, not a product. IBM does not manufacture chips, it licenses the design to others, and says volume is five years out. Its last node, shown in 2021, is only reaching factories now. And "Moore is dead" has been wrong every decade since 2000, because the industry keeps finding a new direction. This is the new direction.
But the bill is the real headline. Each new generation now costs tens of billions to tool, and AI data centers are on track to consume staggering amounts of power. The era of computers getting cheaper and faster on autopilot is over. From here, faster means taller, harder, and far more expensive.
Dit is ongehoord en lijkt te duiden op een grote doofpot waar velen van afwisten. Als dit zelfs bij een parlementaire enquete achtergehouden wordt, is er probleem.
Nu begrijpt u hoe we belangrijke dingen niet kregen en jarenlang moesten vechten.
En hoe ouders vermalen konden worden en kapot gemaakt konden worden.
