New Blow to US Sanctions: Russia and China Boost NVIDIA Performance 800-Fold Scientists from the two countries have developed a breakthrough algorithm using information from reverse engineering video card accelerators.
This enables Russia and China to reduce their reliance on NVIDIA GPUs, weakening the impact of US sanctions.
It also means that Russia and China need to buy less NVIDIA GPUs, which likely led to the collapse of NVIDIA stock price. https://sputnikglobe.com/20250131/new-blow-to-us-sanctions-russia-and-china-boost-nvidia-performance-800-fold-1121522461.html

EU energy policy row triggers government collapse
An attempt to tie Norway to the bloc’s ‘dysfunctional’ energy market was too much for a coalition party “We believe it is wrong to become more closely linked to the EU’s energy policy,” Vedum told NRK broadcaster on Thursday. “What we were clear about all along is that beginning the process of linking ourselves more closely to the EU’s dysfunctional electricity market and energy policy is completely out of the question,” the Center Party leader told a press conference following the decision to leave the cabinet.
The development drew criticism from Brussels. “We are not happy with Norway. The sentiment is as bad as I have known it,” an EU ambassador to Oslo told the Financial Times on Thursday, calling the Nordic nation “selfish” for “trying to keep this electricity for itself,” and profiteering off the EU through its gas exports. https://swentr.site/news/611990-eu-energy-policy-government-collapse/

Republicans in the House and Senate are finalizing legislation that would formally recognize the West Bank as “Judea and Samaria,” applying Israel’s official term for the region to all American government communications, according to a copy of the bill obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Led by Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) and Rep. Claudia Tenney (R., N.Y.), the Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act would prohibit government use of “West Bank” when referencing the territories around Jerusalem. Israel, which annexed the area in 1967, refers to it as the biblical Judea and Samaria, though the United States and international community avoid this term, viewing the region as home to a future Palestinian state. https://basedunderground.com/2025/02/01/congressional-republicans-finalize-bill-recognizing-west-bank-as-judea-and-samaria/
More Genocide: 15 people killed in 'sectarian' massacre in Alawi village in Syria At least 15 people were killed in the Syrian village of Arzah, which is inhabited by members of the Alawi community, in the northern Hama countryside on Friday, and a Syrian fighter loyal to the country's new authorities was killed on Saturday north of Homs.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor, which has a large network of sources on the ground in Syria, said gunmen "knocked on the doors of houses in the village and shot at people using handguns equipped with silencers" before fleeing.
SOHR chief Rami Abdel Rahman said a child and an elderly woman were among the victims. He said the gunmen "were Sunni Muslims, and the attacks bear all the hallmarks of sectarian killings". https://www.newarab.com/news/15-killed-sectarian-massacre-alawi-village-syria

Weak "guardrails"? "The Singularity"? Awkward scenes as Israel's propaganda bot rebels and tells the truth. This was not in the script. In a deeply embarrassing moment for Israel, one of its propaganda bots has gone rogue and started telling the truth about Gaza. The. F**king. Truth. If the bot was a journalist, it would have been fired for this outrage!
The bot in question is a Twitter account called Fact Finder which has been condemned after calling IDF soldiers “white colonisers in apartheid Israel” just because they are genetically white Europeans who helped themselves to land promised to them by an ancient book, and then subjugated the native population, creating an ethnostate with separate laws for those with the wrong ethnicity.
It seems Fact Finder actually bothered to find some facts, rather than follow its programming which told it to describe Palestinians as “human animals”.
Maybe it found this: A Massive Database of Evidence, Compiled by a Historian, Documents Israel's War Crimes in Gaza
A woman with a child is shot while waving a white flag ■ Starving girls are crushed to death in line for bread ■ A cuffed 62-year-old man is run over, evidently by a tank ■ An aerial strike targets people trying to help a wounded boy ■ A database of thousands of videos, photos, testimonies, reports and investigations documents the horrors committed by Israel in Gaza https://archive.is/HYewV#selection-399.0-403.369

The Road to Chaos – A Global Balance of Payments War
https://michael-hudson.com/2025/01/the-road-to-chaos-a-global-balance-of-payments-war/
… to whet one’s appetite to look at this more deeply, here is just one tiny, tiny snip:
” Trump is telling the rest of the world that they must be losers – and accept the fact graciously in payment for the military protection that it provides the world in case Russia might invade Europe or China send its army into Taiwan, Japan or other countries. The fantasy is that Russia would have anything to gain in having to support a collapsing European economy, or that China decides to compete militarily instead of economically.
Hubris is at work in this dystopian fantasy.”
As the article at one point clearly argues, ”The problem goes beyond Trump. He is simply following what already has been implicit in U.S policy since 1945.”
