Silicon Bites #122 - Trump Threatens Putin with Words but Takes no Action to Deter Russian Violence.
Edition No122 | 03-04-2025 - The story in today’s episode has come as a huge and bewildering shock to a lot of people. But unfortunately, is something that Jonathan Pearce and I suggested was a possibility some weeks back. And that is the full alignment of Washington with Moscow’s objectives, which amount to a modern-day Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. An attempt to carve up Ukrainian territory, assets and resources, including minerals, metals, hydrocarbons and now infrastructure as well, in a neo-colonial annexation. The worst aspect is that this is likely being coordinated with a reincarnated evil empire, the Russian imperial project, the resurrection of the USSR, and a terror state that has committed innumerable war crimes, some of which amount to a modern-day genocide, comparable to the Holodomor.
Although a kind of theatrical game has been taking place, whereby Zelensky and the Ukrainian team appear to be on board with the American so-called ‘ceasefire negotiation’ process, and not publicly critical of it, despite the weighting of that process and the proposals emerging from it being weighted towards Moscow’s interests, despite the wholesale and flagrant violations of the agreement by Putin. What Trump is offering are two sticks and no carrot. There is no security guarantees offered and no new military aid. But the US is demanding huge control over resources and revenue from Ukraine’s economy and future extraction and metallurgical industries, transportation and agriculture. At the same time, Moscow has revived its nuclear threats and blackmail, and figures in the US, from politicians to media pundits, analysts to social media talking heads are once more opining about WW3 and Armageddon, because Ukraine wants to defend itself and not capitulate to Russia.

Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtain
Car for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season. In peaceful times, we might gift a basket of pysanky (hand-painted eggs), but now, we aim to deliver a basket of trucks to our warriors.
This time, our main focus is on the Seraphims of the 104th Brigade and Chimera of HUR (Main Directorate of Intelligence), highly effective units that:
- disrupt enemy logistics
- detect and strike command centers
- carry out precision operations against high-value enemy targets

SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN
Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtain

Our first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success. Now we need to maintain this momentum, and change the tide towards a Ukrainian victory. The Silicon Curtain Roadshow is an ambitious campaign to run a minimum of 12 events in 2025, and potentially many more. We may add more venues to the program, depending on the success of the fundraising campaign.

We need to scale up our support for Ukraine, and these events are designed to have a major impact. Your support in making it happen is greatly appreciated. All events will be recorded professionally and published for free on the Silicon Curtain channel. Where possible, we will also live-stream events.
