JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇺🇦 After repeated devastating Ukrainian drone attacks exposing serious gaps in its air defenses, Russia has rolled out the “Zubr” anti drone system, essentially a quad mounted set of 7.62mm Kalashnikov machine guns with radar tracking.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 SHOCK TO U.S. DEFENSE GIANTS: Canada May Slash F-35 Order, Turn to Sweden’s Gripen Fighters

Canada is considering a major shift away from U.S. defense dependence by cutting its planned F-35 purchase and acquiring Swedish Gripen fighter jets instead.

Reports suggest Ottawa could buy around 30 F-35s and 60 Gripens, while Saab has proposed building aircraft in Canada and creating thousands of jobs. The move follows Canada's decision to select Saab’s GlobalEye surveillance aircraft over competing American bids.

If approved, it would mark one of the biggest defense procurement shifts in modern Canadian history.

Intel is dodging the HBM memory shortage for its topline AI accelerators by packing a massive 160 GB of laptop/low power DDR5 memory instead. Those memories are 75% cheaper, so you can put 4x as much on the card.

Of course this requires an absolutely gigantic ball grid array to connect the memory with the GPU.

The Data Center Empire in Malaysia

1. Singapore continues to be the second-largest importer of Nvidia GPUs every month since the beginning of 2026. In April alone, Singapore imported over $2B worth of chips.”
2. Since the beginning of the year, Singapore and Malaysia have imported roughly $13B to $15B worth of Nvidia GPUs (if we try to isolate the noise), equal to up to 20% of Nvidia’s total revenue for the upcoming Q1 2026, based on the $78B guidance.
3. Most of the chips imported into Singapore continue by land to Johor, one of the fastest-growing, if not the fastest-growing, data center regions in the world right now.
4. In four months, Singapore and Malaysia imported enough chips to accommodate 0.5GW–0.7GW-powered data centers.
5. According to Nvidia, almost all sales to Singapore and Malaysia are to “U.S.-headquartered” companies.
6. As of today, Nvidia continues to aggressively deny any signs of smuggling or misuse of its chips under AI chip export controls.

The future is already on the front line – and Ukraine is building it. These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in the history of this war, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned platforms – ground systems and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and the operation was carried out without infantry and without losses on our side.

Ratel, TerMIT, Ardal, Rys, Zmiy, Protector, Volia, and our other ground robotic systems have already carried out more than 22,000 missions on the front in just three months. In other words, lives were saved more than 22,000 times when a robot went into the most dangerous areas instead of a warrior. This is about high technology protecting the highest value – human life.

Food for thought.

Yes, the New Great Game is unfolding.

No nation stands to gain more from a closure of the Strait of Hormuz than the United States, across the short, medium, and long term.

This logic is embedded in President Trump’s National Security Strategy, with the Trump Doctrine now visible in practice. Strategically, China loses on multiple fronts with Hormuz closed: seaborne Middle Eastern supplies are constrained just as Venezuelan crude is increasingly redirected toward the U.S. Gulf Coast on short, politically secure routes. At the same time, the Strait of Malacca, and with it, the broader Malacca Dilemma, moves to the center of gravity. In parallel, the Sunda, Lombok, Makassar, and Mindoro Straits remain critical arteries for Chinese trade and energy flows.

Together, they constitute the geographic chokepoints of Beijing’s vulnerability, and Washington is acutely aware of this. Yes, the New Great Game is unfolding, and Wall Street has yet to comprehend the consequences.
