Reply to comment by [deleted] in Putin claims West seeks global domination by using Ukraine by Gopu_17

A material that goes into the production of the machines that makes chips had its supply temporarily interrupted is what that article says. That is a different thing from what you said. You should learn to read, although I apologize if English is not your first language. Further reading would also tell you that Ukraine has no monopoly on those resources.

You must not understand economics. Those industries exist there not because of a monopoly on resource, like say oil producing nations, but because that is the most efficient place according to the markets. There are plenty of other places capable of filling the gap. Your statement that Putin would control the chip supply is patently incorrect, as if he took the resources and niche that Ukraine holds other nations would simply fill in the gap. This is not like 1991 where Saddam controlling Kuwait gave him a serious percentage of the worlds supply of something.

Neon is dispersed evenly throughout the atmosphere across the entire planet. You could set up a factory on a desert island and produce neon. Opec controls the oil market because the oil is within their territory. Neon is everywhere.
