🗣️ On US officials finally calling Ukraine a proxy:
“They're finally saying that it's a proxy war now, which is delightfully refreshing after having spent the last year plus being called a tinfoil hat or Putin apologist for merely suggesting that what we are engaged in is a proxy war. We've described the permanent unelected state, the neocons and the military-industrial complex as a death cult. And it operates like one against all reason and against their own best interests even often, they pursue endless war,” Steve Poikonen, host of AM WakeUp & SlowNewsDay live on Rokfin & Rumble, told Sputnik.

Ex-Ukrainian Prime Minister accuses Kiev of stealing billions from budget in arms deals
🗣 "According to the most modest estimates, [the Ukrainian authorities] stole more than 100 billion budget hryvnias. The representatives of 'Servant of the People' [ruling party] spent most of the budget money to purchase ammunition. [They] bought old poor-quality stuff at a 'gold price'," Nikolai Azarov wrote on his Telegram channel.
The ex-prime minister said that the same corruption scheme worked in air defense procurement, citing an incident when the authorities signed a contract for four air defense missiles, while in reality there were only three of them. After Russia's missile attacks, all of the four get written off and "someone buys a new apartment in Paris," he added.

🗣️ On the US strategic competitors on the global stage:
“Clearly the United States sees Russia, China and Iran as the only competing sovereigns on a global scale, and specifically in its quest to control the waterways of trade in the world and to control Asia as a whole… You cannot trust or turn your back to the Americans. They will be backstabbing you the minute that they feel that they can get away with it,” Laith Marouf, a broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, told Sputnik.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 The US measures to limit microchip exports to China violate market rules and lead to fragmentation in the global semiconductors market, Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesman He Yadong said on Thursday.
In early September, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said that the United States would stick to its hardline stance on denying China cutting-edge microchips as technological developments may be used to boost Beijing's military capacity. However, the US does not plan to completely ban China's access to its chips, she added.
🗣"The US measures to restrict chip exports to China violate market rules and lead to fragmentation in the global semiconductors market, which not only harms lawful rights and interests of Chinese companies, but also significantly affects the interests of semiconductors manufacturers throughout the world, including in the US," He said.

Why is Musk Ceding Ukraine Starlink Access to the Pentagon?
Elon Musk's biographer Walter Isaacson told the Washington Post on September 13 that the billionaire has agreed to "sell and give total control of a certain amount of Starlink equipment" to the US Department of Defense, thus freeing himself from controls with regard to the geo-fencing and the terms of use in the Ukraine conflict zone.
