Ukrainian Strikes Disrupt the Russian Economic Summit || Peter Zeihan
What was said
"The best semiconductors they fab are something below 90 nanometers, which is not even washing machine grade logic."
The speaker provides specific technical data revealing Russia's severe technological deficit, stating their most advanced semiconductor fabrication capabilities are below 90 nanometers—insufficient even for basic appliance electronics. This technical assessment underscores Russia's complete dependence on imported technology and explains why they're desperately courting foreign tech investment despite the security risks.
