Russia and The 5G Cold War
www.eetimes.com, Mar. 14, 2022 –
The advance of the massive Russian army into Northern Ukraine (hampered though it is by logistical concerns) has reawakened Europe to a type of fighting it has not witnessed on a large scale for 75 years: A brutal, urban slogging campaign where casualties – both civilian and military – continue to grow apace.
The West, namely the United States and its NATO allies, doesn't have many options to respond to this aggression (no-fly zones, etc.) unless they are willing to draw Russia into a new world war. So sanctions are the only real response to the Ukraine conflict that the opposing allies can muster.
Everything from oil and gas, to bank accounts, to luxury yachts has been frozen or blocked by the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the U.S. Beyond the more obvious embargos, technological punishments have featured heavily among the prohibitions handed down so far.
Principally, the White House has laid down wide-ranging semiconductor sanctions against Russia that are aimed at its military but will also affect its high-tech and telecom sectors. These have already started to have an effect.
Notably, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world's largest chipmaker, has already agreed to halt the export of semiconductors to Russia. The country relies on TSMC for chips that are used in everything from smartphones to military equipment.
