Russia will launch the "Molniya" messenger for Russian and Chinese tourists.​

How will it work?​

December 5, 2025, 9:45 AM
According to him, Molniya is being created as a multifunctional service, primarily designed to facilitate interactions for tourists traveling between Russia and China. It will also help create sustainable digital corridors between the two countries.

The developer's CEO emphasized that the project's audience will not be limited to tourists in the future. In subsequent stages, it will also include small and medium-sized businesses dealing with Chinese goods. Mikhail Tolpyshkin noted that many Western messaging apps are blocked in China, and local alternatives are often highly specialized. Molniya, on the other hand, will enable unimpeded communication in both Russia and China.

Samsung halting SATA SSD production says leaker, warns of 18 months of SSD price pressure​

Samsung is reportedly halting SATA SSD production in 2026, with the company to announce the news in January 2026, most likely at CES 2026 or shortly after.

If you're doubting this news as you're reading it, consider that memory industry veteran Dave Eggleston, was on MLID's recent podcast, where they were taking in questions from the audience. Eggleston said that NAND SSDs could be the next PC component to see price hikes across the board... oh yay, again.

MLID said that Samsung's move is much different from a reshuffle of its brand, with his sources saying that Samsung would be ending SATA SSD production altogether, after it has fulfilled existing contracts, rather than continuing to supply the same NAND to other consumer-facing labels.

This is a genuine supply reduction, not a rebranding, and furthermore, SATA SSD storage becoming harder to buy could kick off panic buying with system builders and businesses that still rely on the SATA interface, which would increase prices considerably, notes MLID.

MLID also compared the Samsung situation with Micron's recent decision to nix its Crucial consumer RAM brand, that he said is largely symbolic in terms of market impact. Micron, as well as SK hynix and Samsung, supply DRAM memory chips to all third-party brands like G.SKIL, ADATA, Corsair, and others.

Micron DRAM will continue to be installed into consumer PC products through other manufacturers, so overall supply won't be impacted all that much. In comparison, Samsung halting its SATA SSD production removes an entire class of finished consumer products from one of the world's largest suppliers of NAND. MLID says that Samsung's move is much "worse" for consumers, as it will directly affect how many drives are available, not just who sells them.

In the future, MLID says that industry forecasts suggest pricing pressure will ease again once DRAM manufacturers move towards the consumer space again -- most likely in 2027-2028 -- driven by local AI workloads and next-gen PlayStation and Xbox consoles that require super-fast SSDs and huge amounts of RAM.

I guess the cartel is moving ahead with making storage devices cost as much as an GPU.

Europe does not have much to offer infact US collaboration with Russia.
just what i recollected from news.
Rare Earth complete supply chain much beyond than what US can do.
Battery tech from same firm that provide Uranium fuel to US.
Most advanced titanium
AI that will give Arabs and US commanding lead.
Aerospace engines. Yes Russia has advanced so much that US can disband CFM. even MS-21 license better than 737.
Boeing engineering center much bigger than what was before.
flight routes.
there is Biotech, Arctic (DP world/Rosatom) and ASML replacement.
see this picture. This Japan integrated into US and this Premium airline has to go through separate long testing phase to meet Royal Standards. This kind of collaboration Royals want between US and Russia but Putin phrase Russians must adopt traditional values is hinderance.

Just realised also how “izzat” was why the Indians have been so obstinate and intransigent about the border demarcation even when the Chinese side generously offered an exchange of territories. Their hurt pride over getting owned in the 62 war meant they could never use realpolitik to do what was best for their country because they’d have to face their own groups over having given up territory.


Culture follows politics. Once upon a time Chinese women turned up their noses at westerners until the century of humiliation. The school shooter civilisation may not take too kindly to having their Asian consolation prizes being removed from their incel grasps.


That's a lot of demand for RMB that won’t be going into US debt.
