Edition No214 | 04-08-2025 - The mounting power of the Axis of Authoritarian States is troubling, and their apparent impunity and immunity to external pressure —Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. We ask: has Russia’s war in Ukraine now actually transformed into China’s proxy war against the West? We’ll explore naval drills, the supply of Chinese drone parts that is fuelling the devastation in Ukraine, oil diplomacy, and the elephant in the room: Taiwan.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: * Bloomberg Opinion: “Anti‑US Axis Isn’t Dead ...”* Atlantic Council: U.S. ambassador on China proxy war* Reuters / AP: Joint Sea‑2025 naval exercises* United24 Media / Ukraine intelligence: Chinese components in drones* Reuters: Chinese drone engines shipped as cooling units* CEPA: China–Russia drone alliance and deeper ties* WSJ: Fault Lines in the Autocratic Axis* U.S. threat assessment / ODNI & DNI quotes* The Diplomat, Politico, Newsweek on sanctions, drone parts* Reuters/realclearnews on energy pressure to India, China, Turkey* Kyiv Independent on drone component sanctions* U.S.C.C. report on China’s position* Order and naming according to sources above----------TRUCK FUNDRAISER - GET A SILICON CURTAIN NAFO PATCH:Together with our friends at LIFT99 Kyiv Hub (the NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade), we are teaming up to provide 2nd Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.
