Ukraine: 90% plus of Semiconductor grade Neon used in US Semiconductor manufacturing

No doubt, Pacific Rim countries like Taiwan are understandably critical to semiconductors and international supply chains at the foundry level. But Russia and Ukraine play a big role in chip development, too.
“According to research from market research firm Techcet, Russia and Ukraine are each pivotal in the high-tech trade,” Curran said. “Per their reporting, more than 90% of semiconductor-grade neon used in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing is supplied from Ukraine, while 35% of palladium necessary for the chips comes from Russia.”
As such, "the apparent White House plans to cut off Russia from the US chip industry were Moscow to approve an invasion of Ukraine could have cascading effects in both directions."

China to invade Taiwan next.

If China takes Taiwan it will control over 70% of the global semiconductor business of which they need Ukrainian Neon to manufacture.
This was a game, set, & match for China/Russia to utterly frick the US and the West.

Does this mean it will now be harder for me to get a PlayStation 5?

Better start learning to tune a carburetor and manually control valves and shite at manufacturing/chemical/energy plants like we used to.
Semiconductors are necessary for newer technology but we can actually get by without it if we use old tech. If we had to do it.

How fast can Intel build that plant in Ohio?
Better move that timeline up to a couple weeks. Sure its a tens of billions of dollar project but the time is now.

Where is the US going to get the Neon now for the Semiconductors because the Ukrainian supply is now in Russia's hands. This war isn't about Oil its about control of the Semiconductors.
