Chips and washing machines

First Ursula von der Leyen said that Russia was taking chips out of dishwashers and fridges to fix its military hardware. Now German FM Baerbock is saying the same thing about using chips from German washing machines for drones and missiles. https://twitter.com/mazzenilsson/status/1695478885196935255

Scott Ritter on Progozhin crash

The idea seems to be that Putin is probably not responsible as this happened during Brics summit. it is possible that somebody who wants to do a favour to Putin might have been responsible or more likely an accident.But this is at very initial stages of investigation.

About Gramsci

"Gramsci provides no easy answers for the current challenges that we face. Yet with concepts such as “hegemony” and “organic intellectuals,” the “war of position” and the “historic bloc,” “conjunctural analysis” and the battle for “common sense,” he provides social movements with an enriched strategic vocabulary. And with his insistence on rejecting determinism and engaging with society’s most deeply held beliefs, he offers an approach to radical politics that is dynamic enough to stay relevant through the crises—and transformations—yet to come." from https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2023/08/what-can-social-movements-learn-from-gramsci-in-todays-uncertain-times.html
