These backdoors are inherent to all ARM chips. As the chip executes one instruction per cycle, they have in one word the opcode and the data. The number of possible opcodes run into millions. Not all opcodes are documented in the chip's manuals, leaving the possibilities of using some for backdoors. It's a common occurrence in all cpus, just that if the chip is made by Chinese firms, we automatically see the hand of the ccp.

I know Putin doesn't drink much at all, but I will hazard a guess that this evening, he and his henchmen will be cracking open crates of the very best Champagne, that their ill-gotten money can buy.

After the phone call with Trump about how much of Ukraine he can keep and how crippled Ukraine and its democracy must be in the future, Putin and the gang will be laughing their heads off, most likely.

Of course, Trump is so dangerously unstable, that it is possible he will fly into a rage if Putin doesn't accept his initial proposals....

Who knows ..... ?

No one, because let's face it, we are all dealing with a disturbed, irrational, narcissist - a man who can't go two minutes without announcing that he is God's gift to humanity, and whose primary concern is ALWAYS that his intellectually challenged admirers, keep on admiring him. That is all he cares about. He has no principles that are not derived from that core issue - his shining personality, wonderful intellect, brilliant social skills and his flock of admiring fools.
