THINK ABOUT IT.

- Bill Gates had lots of illicit girlfriends—no problem.

- Elon Musk has multiple children with multiple women—no problem.

- Dario Amodei dated a Chinese woman, Jade Wang, before marrying Cami Clark, who pitched a pornography business to none other than Jeffrey Epstein—no problem.

- But Jensen Huang commits old-fashioned infidelity—and this is such a big problem that he has to resign?

Doesn’t make sense.

Here’s the real story.

.

CHAPTER ONE: BIDEN’S CHIP WAR
Jensen Huang of Nvidia was puzzled. It was 2022, and his video-graphics processors had become globally popular as the heart of high-end computing across the planet.

But that autumn, Biden violated the World Trade Organization’s most fundamental principles. He ordered the world’s makers of advanced semiconductor chips and chipmaking equipment (in the Netherlands, Taiwan and Japan) to stop sales to China.

Biden’s administration implied that the chips were for China’s military gear, but this was a lie. The US’s own security establishment admitted that 99.9 per cent were used for civilian purposes, like medical technology and AI computing.

Huang was dismayed. He could no longer sell Nvidia’s A100 and H100 to China.

.

CHAPTER TWO: SOLVING A PROBLEM
Jensen Huang was a problem-solver. In February of 2024, Nvidia launched the H20, a made-for-China AI chip less powerful than its US-only top model.

That way he could keep the US government happy but also have something to sell to the Chinese.

Not everyone in the US was happy about this, and export rules fluctuated.

.

CHAPTER THREE: THE DEEPSEEK MOMENT
In January 2025, a nerdy young man from the Chinese finance industry announced that his firm Deepseek had quickly and cheaply created a high-efficiency open-weight AI.

The implication was huge: the Chinese were finding ways to develop top level AI functionality without massive clusters of top-tier Nvidia GPUs.

Jensen Huang knew he had to respond urgently to keep his place in the China market. He flew to meet trade officials in Beijing in the middle of April and vowed to make "every effort" to serve the Chinese.

The US anti-China hawks had been quietly mobilizing—and made an announcement. In April of 2025, the US banned all export of Jensen Huang’s H20s to China.

Unbelievable! The Nvidia CEO was furious. "Anybody who thought that one chess move to ban China from H20s would cut off their AI ability is deeply uninformed," Huang told an interviewer at a trade meeting in Taipei.

.

CHAPTER FOUR: HUANG’S SPECIAL SKILL
Then came some rare good news. The Nvidia CEO started lobbying Trump behind the scenes. Huang was a master negotiator – and his efforts proved successful.

In the middle of July, 2025, Huang was back in China—his third trip in 12 months.

Huang appeared without his signature black leather jacket. Instead, he wore a traditional Chinese tang suit, and made some of his speech in Mandarin.

Washington had cleared the way for Nvidia to export the H20 to China, he said. We’re back!

Trump had demanded a cash cut of H20 sales in return for approving the exports—US government policy appeared to be literally for sale.

.

CHAPTER FIVE: SPOOKS WERE NOT HAPPY
Huang was moving chips to China again, and the anti-China hawks in the US government were unhappy—and so were the spooks.

There’s a widespread tendency to visualize the US intelligence community as right-leaning hard men, Trumpites in black suits.

This was the opposite of the truth. The CIA leadership greatly preferred the simple, blanket negativity towards “the enemy” characteristic of the Democratic Party. With Russians, Chinese, and North Koreans portrayed as cartoon villains, black ops were justifiable.

But for all his bluster, Trump had a propensity towards treating the leaders of Russia, China and even North Korea, as actual humans who could be negotiated with.

This transactional approach was enormously problematic for the CIA, which needed cartoon villains to justify their annual budget of more than US$15 billion.

And Trump’s habit of parachuting unsuitable new leaders in to command the intelligence community—such as the widely disliked Mike Pompeo—crystalized the negativity, as CIA chroniclers have written.

.

CHAPTER SIX: A TWIST IN THE TALE
Jensen Huang’s celebrations were short-lived. In an unexpected twist, China in September 2025 said it did not want Nvidia chips and would no longer buy them.

- US$15 billion in sales projections vanished.

- Nvidia had to write off a reported $5.5 billion in inventory losses.

- The company had now completely lost access to China's AI market, estimated at US$50 billion.

- And hard evidence was emerging that Chinese companies were building alternatives even for CUDA (a unique element in Nvidia chips).

Huang wanted more positivity from the US. Nvidia was a US firm, and it went from having a 95% market share in China to 0%. “I can’t imagine any policymaker thinking that that’s a good idea,” he told reporters.

.

CHAPTER SEVEN: AGAIN, HE SOLVES THE PROBLEM
But Huang’s extraordinary skill in dealing with Trump paid off again, and by mid-2026, the Nvidia business found a complex equilibrium had emerged in its China business.

Huang had (in December 2025) persuaded the US President to allow Nvidia to sell even the high-powered H200 chip to China, as long as the US government got 25% of the take. So a range of Nvidia chips could again be sold in China.

- Other Nvidia chips were arriving in China via the black market.

- There were suspicions that companies in Singapore and Malaysia, such as Megaspeed, were flouting export restrictions, also delivering chips.

- Some Nvidia chips were stuck in Hong Kong, trapped by the confusing, ever-changing rules, but were expected to be released eventually.

- On the downside (from Huang’s point of view), new China-origin chips, notably Huawei’s Ascend 950, were catching up with advanced capabilities that mimicked those of Nvidia.

In short, China was back in the game.

.

CHAPTER EIGHT: TAKING HIM DOWN
Something had to be done. China had to be dealt with. But first, Huang had to be taken down.

The US anti-China hawks saw Huang’s success in making deals with Trump as a key part of the problem. It was an element which had to be surgically removed.

The CIA and their partners in the western mainstream media sprang into action.

In October 2026, the US intelligence community told New York Times reporters that there were suspicions that Huang’s mistress, Alice Huang Le, was a Chinese spy.

It provided no evidence.

The allegation was plainly ridiculous—the flow of legitimate and illegitimate chips across the border was no secret, and the idea that discussions about the detailed minutiae of nano-level semiconductor engineering could be exchanged during pillow talk was ridiculous, even comedic.

But when the US intelligence community and the mainstream media join forces, they’re virtually invincible.

At this moment in the process, the complicit media are playing its role. A typical headline was that in the Economist yesterday:

“Jensen Huang must resign.”

.

EPILOGUE

Jensen Huang resigned.

Trump has been weakened.

The world’s public has been fooled with the “honeypot” story.

China’s Huawei is pressing ahead—with new, powerful versions of its Ascend chips slated to come out in 2027 and 2028.

🇳🇪🇫🇷🇺🇦 Niger warns UN of imminent attack on the country LED BY UKRAINE AND FRANCE

Speaking at the UN General Assembly, Nigerien Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine accused FRANCE, with the support of UKRAINE and two other unnamed countries, of directing armed proxies positioned on Niger’s northeastern border.

“Those proxies are armed, managed and led, and they are about to attack our military positions and our oil installations.”

Zeine said the campaign against the Sahel is ultimately about its enormous natural wealth including Niger’s URANIUM, Mali and Burkina Faso’s GOLD, as well as LITHIUM, GAS and OIL.

His warned:

“Inshallah, they will find what they deserve.”

"These proxies are armed, guided, directed, about to attack our military positions and our oil installations. But they will get what they deserve, inshallah."

"Our Sahel is at war. A war of liberation against a conspiracy aimed at its recolonization."

"What some call terrorism in our region is a cynical scheme of recolonization dressed in extremist rags."

"Niger's uranium, the gold of Mali and Burkina, lithium, gas, oil and so many other riches keep the old powers salivating."

"This perfidious destabilization of the central Sahel, led by France with Ukraine's active complicity -- documented, very documented."

"Niger's uranium lit up Europe's cities while ours stayed in darkness. This injustice has now ended. It is over."

"A people that has decided to be free cannot be recolonized, not by fear, nor by cunning, nor even by savage violence."

Triangulation

[Iuliia Mendel @IuliiaMendel]

The Russian-Ukrainian war is bloody and senseless – by this point, massive killing and destruction are wrought over nothing.
If it’s about Ukraine not entering NATO – than this question has been taken off the table by now.
If it’s about protecting democracy, than our democracy is in such a fragile situation that barely differs from any other autocratic regime: very limited freedom of speech, weakened institutions, violations of basic constitutional rights, political persecution, and people’s life matter as little as in any autocracy.
If the war is to remove Zelenskyy from power than he has been it’s main beneficiary: on the verge of losing power back in 2021, the war allowed him to thrive, earning money on all aspects of this war, gaining almost unlimited power inside the country, all the while basking in international fame.
If it’s about regaining the territories of Ukraine back from Russian conquest, than Ukraine is just losing more territories, rather than recapturing them.
This war has no reason or justification to continue except of benefiting some small groups. Ukraine is on the verge of extinction because of it.

On the day of my speech, I was barred from entering the European Parliament. I directly attribute this to Zelenskyy’s sanctions. But the speech will go ahead anyway, because I know that I represent a huge segment of society that longs for peace and wants to be heard.

Trump and Nutlick said we would be running a surplus by now because of tariffs. According to Trump, a trade deficit means other countries are “ripping us off.” I guess they are ripping us off even more under Trump.

[Nic @puckrin]

The country Trump is referencing in this video is Switzerland.

He takes issue with the fact that they have low interest rates.

And his arguments show how little he understands about the most BASIC economic disciplines.

Trump says Switzerland "earns $40B a year off the US" via its trade deficit.

A trade deficit is a flow of goods Americans chose to buy. It’s NOT Swiss profit.

The US runs a services surplus with Switzerland. He ignores it because it clogs the narrative

As if that's not silly enough, Swiss rates have nothing to do with trade.

The edge comes from ~0% inflation + safe-haven franc + a constitutional debt brake.

Plain stupid.

But then again, this comes from someone who wants to bomb the bond market so to be expected.

[Brad Setser @Brad_Setser]

In the battle between standard macroeconomics and the Trump administration, standard macroeconomics is winning. The US trade deficit exploded in July, on the back of surging US imports ...
